Can we deploy into different environments from the same branch?

Deployment

From what I can see, the problem you are stuck at is how to trigger a deploy manually, without any additional commits.

There are two options here:

  • Trigger a custom build with a custom config alteration that would trigger the additional deploy logic. The caveat here is that a custom build can only be triggered for a branch tip, not an arbitrary commit.

    • travis.yml:
      deploy:
  - provider: script
    script: deploy_production.sh
    on:
      condition: $DEPLOY_PROD == 1
  - provider: script
    script: deploy_uat.sh
    on:
      condition: $DEPLOY_UAT == 1
    • custom config:
      merge_mode: deep_merge
env:
  global:
    - DEPLOY_PROD=1
    - DEPLOY_UAT=1

  • Tag the commit (which would trigger a tag build) and make your deploy logic be triggered by the tag presence and/or name:

    deploy:
  - provider: script
    script: deploy_production.sh
    on:
      - tags: true
      - condition: $TRAVIS_TAG =~ ^prod
  - provider: script
    script: deploy_uat.sh
    on:
      - tags: true
      - condition: $TRAVIS_TAG =~ ^uat
