Introduction

In order to use the Travis CI plugin, Roadie needs an API token to communicate with Travis CI APIs.

This is set within backstage at the following url:

https://<tenant-name>.roadie.so/administration/settings/secrets

This page describes how to create and set up the Travis CI API.

Steps

Step 1: Create an API token

Start by visiting the account settings page in Travis.

Click on the “Copy token” button under the API settings section.

Add annotation to the yaml config file of a component. Where <owner-name> is the owner of the project in travis and <project-name> is the name of the project in travis.
