$GOPATH caching has led to flaky tests as per #1503 and #1536. The speedup is marginal and while the false negatives are a headache, false positives are potentially dangerous.
This modifies the .travis.yml file to install a release version of glide
instead of using its latest master branch. This will prevent upstream
changes from inadvertently breaking the CI builds.
This switches `goclean` to use `gometalint` instead of running each checking tool one at a time. The `gometalint` tool runs them concurrently.
More importantly it will allow us to easily add additional linters as desired.
This commit modifies the existing Travis configuration to also install
the btcd binary within the container’s PATH.
This change is necessary in order for tests written against the new
rpctest package to work properly within the Travis testing environment.
This converts the project to allow btcd to be used with the glide
package manager in order to provide stable and reproducible builds
without the user having to jump through all of the hoops as they do
today.
It consists of adding a glide.yaml file which identifies the project
dependencies and locations along with a glide.lock file which contains
the complete dependency tree pinned to specific versions. Glide uses
these files to download the packages (or updates) to a local vendor
directory and checkout the correct pinned versions. The go tool, in
turn, is used to build/install btcd and will use the pinned versions in
the vendor directory.
This also updates TravisCI to build using glide, removes some of the
exceptions in the lint checks which are no longer required, and updates
the README.md with the new instructions needed to build the project with
glide.
The vet tool moved into the Go source tree as of Go 1.5. Its previous
location in the x/tools repo was deprecated at that time and has now
been removed.
This commit updates the .travis.yml configuration to avoid fetching vet
from the old location and to simply use the version now available as
part of the standard Go install.
Also, while here, remove the check for changing the tool path since it
is no longer needed.
Since the latest golint no longer works with on Go 1.4 and Go 1.4 is no
longer officially supported by btcsuite, remove it from the
configurations tested by TravisCI.
Now that Go 1.6 has been released, update the required Go version in the
README to 1.5 and add Go 1.6 to the configurations tested by TravisCI.
Also, while here, update the Go 1.4 and 1.5 versions tested by TravisCI
to the latest point releases.
This commit causes TravisCI to run several tools on each pull request and
commit to help ensure the code quality remains high. This includes gofmt,
goimports, golint, go vet, the race detector, and coverage stats.
Also, it instructs TravisCI to use nicer container-based builds.
