Looks like you can't DRY right now: travis-ci issue #1519
Question
I want to test different builds of my .js framework against many browsers
I expected to write something like:
language: node_js
node_js:
- 0.11
env:
matrix:
- BUILD='nocompat'
- BUILD='compat'
- BUILD='default'
- BROWSER='ie6'
- BROWSER='ie7'
# etc... about total 15 browsers/platforms
But the only way I got it working was specifying all combinations "by hand"...
Like:
env:
matrix:
- BROWSER='chrome_linux' BUILD='default'
- BROWSER='chrome_linux' BUILD='compat'
- BROWSER='chrome_linux' BUILD='nocompat'
- BROWSER='firefox' BUILD='default'
- BROWSER='firefox' BUILD='compat'
- BROWSER='firefox' BUILD='nocompat'
# etc ... and this is about 50 lines!
Is there another way to do this? Or is this the right way?

I believe the syntax for travis-build matrix environmental variables is:
env:
- STUFF=true
- STUFF=false
The env: matrix:
is used for specifying variables that stay in the build matrix when you have a env:global
for variables that aren't used for the build matrix.
You can read up more on matrices here. As a note, 50 seperate builds for your project is a little crazy, in fact, I'm not sure travis-ci supports 50 different builds in a matrix. I would narrow it down to about 10-20 personally.
