Add Windows job to Travis CI? about jwst HOT 10 CLOSED

Ah, I didn't see this last time because I clicked the ❌ instead of the ✏️.
I just restored the Appveyor project and disabled the webhook for the time being.

Mac builds haven't been a problem on Travis for a long time now. And it is way faster than Appveyor for Windows builds.

I'll get around to porting our recipes to Windows this year (hopefully). Until then I'm not sure we can implement Appveyor.

Even if it currently breaks in Windows, it is still possible to get Appveyor account set up and hooked up, right? Anyways, just a thought. I mean, who in the right mind would try to process JWST data on Windows, huh? 😉

from jwst.

Who indeed. Oh wait, you did say "in their right mind".

I activated Appveyor's webhook the other day but ended up removing it. It added several minutes the PR checks but was never going to succeed given the lack of (our) recipe support for Windows.

jwst has a very long dependency chain.

Huh, I was under the impression that you can still have the hook there but just deactivated by unchecking the box below? Never mind if it is too much trouble. I think we should just keep this open until details are finalized in the future. Thanks!

from jwst.

You might consider using travis Windows builds instead now that they are available.

@drdavella , does it have queue problem like Mac builds?

from jwst.

OK, I changed the title.
