Circle CI configuration for building, linting, testing and deploying a meteor application to galaxy.

readme.md

How To CI meteor

create a circle.yml file in your root directory, using the above as a template.

By default this assumes:

• you have development tools assetsand config in your root project directory
• you have your meteor app in the /app directory.
• you're using grunt from your root directory, this could be any task runner
• you've setup a test command using your package.json (circle automatically runs this, you could also create overrides)

You'll require a deployment token run this on the command line

METEOR_SESSION_FILE=deployment_token.json meteor login

You'll then need to add three environmental variables to your project on circle CI,

• DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN - copy the content of the file you created above as the value.
• STAGE_SETTINGS - copy the contents of your settings file for your staging environment as the value
• PROD_SETTINGS - copy the contents of your settings file for your production environment as the value

You should be all set.

for linting I've got the following in my package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    "babel-eslint": "^7.1.1",
    "eslint": "^3.15.0",
    "eslint-config-airbnb": "^14.1.0",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.2.0",
    "eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y": "^4.0.0",
    "eslint-plugin-react": "^6.10.0",
    "eslint-plugin-standard": "^2.0.1"
  }

I use the pretest script hook in the package.json to run the linting before any tests.

  "scripts": {
    "pretest": "npm run lint",
    "test": "echo 'tests coming soon!'",
    "lint": "./node_modules/.bin/eslint ./app",
  },
