BundleCache on Dropbox

Utility for caching bundled gems on your Dropbox. Useful for speeding up Travis builds - it doesn't need to wait for bundle install to download/install all gems.

Installation

Adding this to your Gemfile defeats the purpose. Instead, run

$ gem install bundle_cache

Usage

You'll need to set some environment variables to make this work.

DROPBOX_ACCESSTOKEN_=<your access token here>
BUNDLE_ARCHIVE=<the filename to use for your cache>

Dropbox Accesstoken

Easy:

1. Login to your Dropbox Account
2. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps
3. Create new App
4. Generate ACCESS_TOKEN
5. Notice for upcoming tasks.

Travis configuration

Add these to your Travis configuration:

bundler_args: --without development --path=~/.bundle
before_install:
- "echo 'gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc' > ~/.gemrc"
- git clone https://github.com/sprestel/bundle_cache.git
- cd bundle_cache && git checkout dropbox_sdk && gem build bundle_cache.gemspec
- gem install bundler bundle_cache*.gem
- bundle_cache_install
- cd ..
after_script:
- bundle_cache
env:
  global:
  - BUNDLE_ARCHIVE="your_project_bundle"
  - RAILS_ENV=test

You'll also want to add your Dropbox accesstoken to a secure section in there:

1. Install the travis gem with gem install travis
2. Log into Travis with travis login --auto (from inside your project respository directory)
3. Encrypt your dropbox accesstoken with: travis encrypt DROPBOX_ACCESSTOKEN="" --add (be sure to add your actual credentials inside the double quotes)
