CircleCI with no tests

Question

I want to use CircleCI just to push my docker image to Dockerhub when I merge with master. I am using CircleCI in other projects where it is more useful and want to be consistent (as well as I am planning to add tests later). However all my builds fail because CircleCI says: "NO TESTS!", which is true. How can I disable CircleCI from checking for tests presence.

Answer 1

I solved the problem by overriding the test section of circle.yml:

test:
  override:
    - echo "test"

This works for CircleCI 1.0

Answer 2

Alternatively, as cited on this discussion, you can use "true" to skip tests:

# circle.yml
...

test:
  override:
    - "true"

...

Please notice the double quotes as otherwise it won't work.

I hope that is helpful as it worked for me!

Answer 3

CircleCI 2.0 no longer requires a test section in your config.yml. Just leave it off!
