Example .travis.yml for Golang

.travis.yml

# use the latest ubuntu environment (18.04) available on travis
dist: bionic

language: go

# You don't need to test on very old versions of the Go compiler. It's the user's
# responsibility to keep their compiler up to date.
go:
  - 1.16.x

# Only clone the most recent commit.
git:
  depth: 1

# Skip the install step. Don't `go get` dependencies. Only build with the code
# in vendor/
install: true

# Don't email me the results of the test runs.
notifications:
  email: false

# Anything in before_script that returns a nonzero exit code will flunk the
# build and immediately stop. It's sorta like having set -e enabled in bash.
# We can download and extract the golangci-lint binary in one (long) command.
before_script:
  - curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/master/install.sh | sh -s -- -b $(go env GOPATH)/bin v1.37.1

# script always runs to completion (set +e). If we have linter issues AND a
# failing test, we want to see both. Configure golangci-lint with a
# .golangci.yml file at the top level of your repo.
script:
  - golangci-lint run       # run a bunch of code checkers/linters in parallel
  - go test -v -race ./...  # Run all the tests with the race detector enabled

Here's my example config for CircleCI. It's a good starting point for most projects.

I recommend CircleCI over Travis. By building, linting, and testing using containers instead of VMs, CI completes much faster. My q project takes about 20s per CI run. Both Travis and GitHub Actions take a minute just to spin up the VM. Circle finishes before they even start.

Hi @y0ssar1an I need you help, I am middle of a travis CI integration where i want to add a stage condition or a job condition where it would allow only the build job to run if the pull request is merged.
something like this as shown below:
stages:

• name: PushBuild
  if: (branch = master) AND (type = push)

When i tried with above got error as below
rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)
/home/travis/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.3@global/gems/rake-12.3.2/exe/rake:27:in <top (required)>' /home/travis/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.3@global/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:24:in eval'
/home/travis/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.3@global/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:24:in `

'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
The command "rake" exited with 1.

Is this because of syntax issue with GO ?

@akash355 The error message is pointing to a missing Rakefile, so I don't think that has anything to do with Go. Are you using Ruby in your project? This .travis.yml file is only for Go projects.

I would debug this by inserting ls commands into your .travis.yml at a point prior to the failure. It will show you what files are present on the Travis CI runner. Good luck!
