I raised this issue via Github (here <https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/17358>) and got informed by rafaelfranca that it's better to do this via the mailing list. Sorry, Rafael; and thank you as well :-). A few <https://travis-ci.org/rails/rails/builds/38633209> builds <https://travis-ci.org/rails/rails/builds/38715540> have been marked as "Error" because (most of the time) their `GEM=railties, ruby=1.9.3` test suites exceed 50 minutes. My suggestion is we split this particular test suite into two parallel builds (by giving each build a number of test folders <http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/speeding-up-the-build/>) so that hopefully each build runs for about 25 minutes, which goes along with its `ruby=2.0.0`, `ruby=2.1`, `ruby=ruby-head` counterparts. I'm still keen on this suggestion though. It: - reduces build time - prevents repetitive (and expensive) builds, caused by slow Rubygems or Bundler API WDYT? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
