Emacs-Make – Example

This repository serves as a model for others to start using EMake to kick off tests on a service like Travis CI.

.travis.yml

This is the Travis CI configuration file. Refer to its documentation for more information there, but note that we can test on multiple versions of Emacs thanks to the install-emacs script.

Makefile

This file handles retrieving the emake.el script as well as calling EMake to perform various tasks. See that file for details.

sample.el

This is an example project file.

test-buttercup.el

This is an example test file using the Buttercup behavior-driven testing framework available on MELPA.

test/sample.el

This is an example test file using the ERT unit testing framework available in Emacs.

Normally, I would’ve included test-buttercup.el in the test/ directory, but the describe macro Buttercup defines is not defined during ERT-based testing and will cause that script to fail. ERT and Buttercup won’t normally be used together, but it is possible. Refer to the EMake documentation if you want to do this.
