The new docker-based build environment supports bundler caching on open source projects.

I'm trying to enable it in a pull request but it fails.

I don't know if it can be used when using a build matrix with multiple Gemfiles:

gemfile:
   - spec/gemfiles/Gemfile.rails-3.2.x
   - spec/gemfiles/Gemfile.rails-4.0.x
   - spec/gemfiles/Gemfile.rails-4.1.x
   - spec/gemfiles/Gemfile.rails-4.2.x

Has anyone got this working and can share their .travis.yml?

  • I'm unable to make caching work as well.. (bundler/ruby). I wonder if that's just a problem of documentation. – m1keil Jan 14 '15 at 10:37

Arbitrary directories can be cached.

Arbitrary directores

You can cache arbitrary directories, such as Gradle, Maven, Composer and npm cache directories, between builds by listing them in your .travis.yml:

cache:
  directories:
  - .autoconf
  - $HOME/.m2

— Travis CI Documentation

I don't know where gemfiles are cached, but say it's ~/.gem/specs:

 cache:
   directories:
   - $HOME/.gem/specs

The Travis CI build log will print something along the lines of:

Setting up build cache

$ export CASHER_DIR=$HOME/.casher
