Avoiding testing on some repositories

[glemaitre]

I think that there is some repositories which does not need to be tested but I would like to be sure about it:

• Insect 1/2/3 -> they don't have a travis. I assume that they should be difficult to test online. @kegl and @mehdidc should know about that.
• california_rainfall/_test: The _test repo seems to be the same than the original repo but which is tested. @jorisvandenbossche should we move the testing upstream?
• solar_wind: I think this is in dev. so we should allow failure there.
• supernovae: @aboucaud could you check the failure ?

For supernovae, the build relies on downloading the data via python download_data.py.

Shall I add the data/*_mini.pkl to the repo or should you rather update your code to download the data ?

[glemaitre]

Our test should be agnostic of what to do. Travis from supernovae should actually call python download_data.py if it is required by the test.

[aboucaud]

it does.. https://github.com/ramp-kits/supernovae/blob/master/.travis.yml#L17

but the failure error says it could not find the files.. or maybe its just a server issue.

@aboucaud that is because the testing data still need to be downloaded, so you need to adapt the download_data.py script a bit to download the appropriate data based on whether we are in testing mode or not (currently it is hardcoded that no data are downloaded in testing mode (https://github.com/ramp-kits/supernovae/blob/master/download_data.py#L40), but the testing data are not included in the repo, in contrast to the mars craters repo from where you probably copied that)

california_rainfall/_test: The _test repo seems to be the same than the original repo but which is tested. @jorisvandenbossche should we move the testing upstream?

Yes, I think ideally the california_rainfall and california_rainfall_test are folded into one repo, and the california_rainfall one can include/use the test data similar to how other repo's do that (eg mars craters)
