Jake is the JavaScript build tool for NodeJS. Jake has been around since the very early days of Node, and is full featured and well tested. The most intriguing thing for me about JakeJS is Jake has capabilities similar to GNU Make, CMake, or Rake in the Ruby community, but for now let\u2019s now integrate Jake into Travis and see how it works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jakefile<\/code><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAlright, so we need a Jakefile<\/code> for Jake to be invoked in Travis, so let\u2019s make a Jakefile<\/code> in our root directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\nlet { task, desc } = require('jake');\n\ndesc('This is the default task.');\ntask('default', function () {\n console.log('This is the default task.');\n console.log('Jake will run this task if you run `jake` with no task specified.');\n});\n\ndesc('This is some other task. It depends on the default task');\ntask('otherTask', ['default'], function () {\n console.log('Some other task');\n});<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nAlright my Jakefile looks good, let\u2019s now build our .travis.yml<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTravis CI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is how I have my .travis.yml<\/code> configured so it can integrate with Jake:<\/p>\n\n\n\ndist: jammy\nlanguage: node_js\nnode_js:\n - \"12\"\nbefore_install:\n - npm update -g npm\n - npm install -g jake\nscript: \n - jake -v <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nWhere are using the latest Ubuntu image as you can see via dist: jammy<\/code>, and you can see where I install Jake, and then I want to print out what version of Jake is running inside of Travis to make sure the integration went well.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow before we deploy this sample to Travis, let\u2019s make a directory called bin<\/code>, and in bin<\/code> let\u2019s make a JavaScript file called cli.js<\/code>, this is how mine looks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n#!\/usr\/bin\/env node\n\n\/\/ Load `jake` global\n\nrequire('..\/lib\/jake');\n\nvar args = process.argv.slice(2);\n\njake.run.apply(jake, args);<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nWe use classic JavaScript functions like slice<\/code> you can also use pop<\/code>, whatever you choose! This is just my example.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ve just integrated Jake with Travis! As per usual here\u2019s my repo<\/a> so you can follow it and see the build results if you run into any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
