# Test builds

Test builds are created using fabric (http://fabfile.org) and a bash script.

Test builds are intended for early adopters / testers who want to use the bleeding edge version of InaSAFE.

Warning

Using test builds may result in strange behaviour or bad things happening when you run your assessment. We try our best to keep the master in a good, usable and secure (for you) state, but we can’t guarantee this will always be the case.

This document has two sections:

- How to configure QGIS to use the InaSAFE test builds repo.
- How to set up a test build server (intended only for sysadmins).

## Configuring QGIS to use test builds (from Linfiniti server).

- Plugins ‣ Fetch Python Plugins ‣ Repository Tab ‣ Add...
- Name: `InaSAFE Testing`
- URL: `http://inasafe-test.linfiniti.com/plugins.xml`
- OK

In the Options tab, tick the Show all plugins, even those marked as experimental option.

You should now see the experimental versions of InaSAFE listed in the Plugins tab.

Note

The URL may differ depending on where the test repo is hosted (see below).

## Configuring the hosting of the test build repo.

### Prepare your server:

Install some packages (run this on the server):

    sudo apt-get install git fabric apache2

Initialise everything (run this on your desktop):

    fab -H 188.40.123.80:8697 remote build_test

Note

You need to be able to authenticate on the server hosting the test builds.

The above would create a test package based on current master by default. You can also specify a branch to build the package from like this:

    fab -H 188.40.123.80:8697 remote build_test_package:branch=version-1_0
