17. Start the environment: eb start
18. git add -A .
19. git commit -a -m "creating new gamebots project"
20. git push origin master && git aws.push
21. Visit the Elastic Beanstalk Console to view your application's build status

Setup and Build with Travis-CI

1. Register for Travis-CI using your GitHub account
2. From your Travis-CI profile page, enable the newly created GitHub repository

Install Travis Ruby Gem

The Travi-CI gem will be used to encrypt a OAuth2 token that will be used to push updates to Google App Engine from the Travis build.

1. From the terminal, install the gem by entering gem install travis

AWS Security Credentials

1. If you haven't, create an Access Key with a corresponding ID and Secret here
2. From the EC2 console, create a new Key Pair
3. Copy the values of the Access Key and Secret

Automate EB updates with Travis

These lines in the .travis.yml file automates the updates to EB. The AWS Access Key ID and Secrets will be encrypted by travis and used upon a successful build.

  --region "ap-southeast-1" -t "WebServer::Standard::1.0" -s "64bit Amazon Linux 2014.02 running Node.js" -f
- eb push
  

1. Encrypt you AWS Access Key ID with the travis gem: travis encrypt AWS_ACCESS_KEY="<paste_key_id_from_clipboard>" --add
2. Encrypt you AWS Access Key Secret with the travis gem: travis encrypt AWS_ACCESS_SECRET="<paste_key_secret_from_clipboard>" --add
3. Edit this line of the .travis.yml file: -a <name-of-your-app> -e <name-of-your-app>-env

Functional and Unit Testing with Moch and Travis-CI

The Mocha module allows developers to create simple functional and unit tests. In this sample app, the tests are in the /test/test.js file. This file tests the funcitonality of a single API call /test. To break this test:

1. Comment out lines 43-47 in /app.js
2. Commit and push the changes
3. Track the build progress on travis-ci
