Warning: There are only binstar-build conda packages for osx-64 and linux-64 To submit jobs from a windows machine, you will need to install binstar and binstar-build from source. This will be fixed soon. Sorry.

pip install binstar binstar-build

Warning: If you get an error message like

[BinstarError] Invalid queue build-binstar-continuum

Then you need to ask a binstar admin to add you to the build-binstar-continuum user group

Make sure that you are on binstar-build version >= 0.8

$ binstar-build -V
binstar-build Command line client (version 0.8.2)

binstar-build  submit \
    https://github.com/binstar/testci \
    --test-only 
    --queue build-binstar-continuum 

A breakdown of the submit command:

The build script and platforms are controlled with a .binstar.yml file, Check out the in-line comments for what the submit command is doing behind the scenes.

Submit a build from the binstar/testci repository

You can also build from a subdirectory and/or a branch of the repo

https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO#BRANCHNAME --sub-dir SUB_DIRECTORY

The following command is also valid:

binstar-build submit \
    https://github.com/binstar/testci#test_sub_dir \
    --sub-dir recipe_dir
    --test-only 
    --queue build-binstar-continuum 

• Warning: SUB_DIRECTORY Must be a valid directory within your repo and SUB_DIRECTORY Must contain a valid .binstar.yml file
• Warning: only github.com urls are supported.

This tells the binstar build worker that this is just a test and it should not upload any files to binstar.

This tells binstar what queue you want to use.

The format is:

build-QUEUE_OWNER-QUEUE_NAME
