How to run Tox with Travis-CI

Question

How do you test different Python versions with Tox from within Travis-CI?

I have a tox.ini:

[tox]
envlist = py{27,33,34,35}
recreate = True
         


        

Answer 1

For this I would consider using tox-travis. This is a plugin which allows use of Travis CI’s multiple python versions and Tox’s full configurability. To do this you will configure the .travis.yml file to test with Python:

sudo: false
language: python
python:
    - "2.7"
    - "3.4"
install: pip install tox-travis
script: tox

This will run the appropriate testenvs, which are any declared env with py27 or py34 as factors of the name by default. Py27 or py34 will be used as fallback if no environments match the given factor.
