Continuous Integration Lab for the course "Programming and Development Paradigms"

This is an empty project, with a pre-configured Gradle wrapper. This makes the project buildable without the need of locally installing Gradle. To execute the build, use:

./gradlew build

To clean up the previous build results and start fresh, use instead:

./gradlew clean build

You can use the IDE of your choice, but you can also just work with a text editor and the CLI.

Step 1: groups and GitHub account

This lab should be performed in groups of 2-4 people, each with her own PC, in order to exercise the basics of teamwork with git. Form a group, and elect a project leader randomly (e.g. using the Scala REPL to throw a random number). Every member of the groups must have a GitHub account.

Step 2: fork

The project leader should fork this repository. The resulting repository will be the "truth repo". Every other member should fork the "truth repo".

Step 3: configure the flow

Each member should configure the project for working with git flow and create a develop branch. Clone your own fork locally, create develop, and push it on your remote copy.

Step 4: basic Java build

Each team member, working on develop, must create a Java class in the src/main/java. There must not be any name clash among team members. Each member must configure the build.gradle.kts file in such a way that gradle clean build will correctly create a build folder with the class files compiled.

Step 5: continuous integration

Each member must now sign up on Travis CI, connect its GitHub account, and enable the build for the repository. Now, each one must create a valid .travis.yml file, and push it. If the procedure has been performed correctly, a build will start on Travis CI, and complete successfully.

Step 6: pull requests

Each member must now create a pull request from their develop branch towards the "truth repository" develop branch. The project leader must comment and ask a change for each of them (add Javadoc, or any other change). The developers must comply, and update their pull request (pushing the changes locally should suffice)

Step 7: testing in Scala

Adapt to Gradle and re-follow/finish doing the exercises of Scala test lab involving SCoverage, ScalaTest, and ScalaMock.

Step 8: more features

From now on, each developer must pick a feature from the following list, create a feature branch locally, implement it, and contribute back to the develop of the truth repository.

• Configure Gradle to generate the Javadocs
• Add a Groovy source and configure the build.gradle appropriately
• Add an Xtend source and configure the build.gradle appropriately
• Configure Gradle for using PMD
• Configure Gradle for using FindBugs
• Configure Gradle for using Checkstyle
• [Advanced] Using the Travis CI, documentation, configure a deployment on .travis.yml to automatically deploy the generated jars to GitHub releases
