Evaluate using Travis for Windows builds

To Do:

• Add windows to the os list
• Don't download/configure CodeClimate or send test results when running Windows builds as it is not supported
• Configure so all OS's use LF and not CRLF. When cloning a repo and checking out a commit, the linebreaks depend on the OS, so Windows builds will fail TSLint since it uses CRLF and not LF. I'm playing around by adding a .gitattributes file with * text=auto eol=lf.

Seems to be working in beautifier-eslint:

• .travis.yml
• .gitattributes
• https://travis-ci.com/Unibeautify/beautifier-eslint/builds/87786410

Awesome 🎉 The eslint Windows builds seem to be red, but only because of the CRLF situation.

[stevenzeck]

It's red on the PR build, not the branch build.

[lassik]

What's different between them? The commit hash is the same.

[stevenzeck]

I'll try pushing everything as one commit and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise I think one is a standard commit while the other is a merge commit.

[lassik]

The outcome seems to be the same :/ I just had a weird incident too, where something worked in Travis in a branch but not in a PR: Unibeautify/beautifier-clang-format#81

BTW, should Code Climate be run separately for each platform, or is it enough to run it on Linux only?

[stevenzeck]

It shouldn't matter. All it does it reports the coverage results of npm test (I think all repos use that command) from Travis to CodeClimate, not much overhead.

[lassik]

Ah, that makes sense. For reference, the Code Climate reporter is not available (pre-built) for Windows, only Linux and OSX: https://docs.codeclimate.com/v1.0/docs/configuring-test-coverage#section-locations-of-pre-built-binaries

[stevenzeck]

Yep, that's the second checkmark #204 (comment)

[lassik]

Sorry, missed that one.

👍I would greatly prefer Travis CI to AppVeyor.

Let me know if you need anything from me. Sounds like you already have a plan and are making this a reality 🎉 ! Thanks!
