Speed up build time in Travis (!2367) · Merge requests · Vinay Rosenberg / dash-js · GitLab

GitLab now enforces expiry dates on tokens that originally had no set expiration date. Those tokens were given an expiration date of one year later. Please review your personal access tokens, project access tokens, and group access tokens to ensure you are aware of upcoming expirations. Administrators of GitLab can find more information on how to identify and mitigate interruption in our documentation.

Vinay Rosenberg requested to merge github/fork/epiclabsDASH/travis_cache into development Jan 11, 2018

Created by: epiclabsDASH

These changes reduce build time from 3-4 minutes to around 2 minutes. Changes:

Setup cache for node_modules folder to speed up build times in Travis and so our CI process
Don't build on prepublish npm task. That implies Travis building two times the project per request (one after npm install, the other one to prepare the deployment). Furthermore, for local environment, I don't see any reason for building the project during npm install.
