Integrity is a light-weight continuous integration server.
It supports automatically building your projects when you configure a post-receive hook on GitHub to POST to your installation of Integrity. If you’re not using GitHub, you can still achieve automated builds using a similar mechanism.
A quick look at the Fetch and build button on the project page reveals the URL you need to POST for initiating a build. Create an executable script and include it in the post-receive hook of your vanilla Git repository.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.post_form(
URI.parse('http://server:9292/project-name/builds'), ''
)
If you’re using Rails you’ll want to run your migrations before running your tests. Create a Rakefile for continuous integration.
desc "Runs migrations and all tests"
task :ci => ['db:migrate', 'test', 'cucumber']
Lastly, update the build script for your project to run the continuous integration task.
rake ci
