MageTestStand Setup in Travis Build is Fragile

[tkn98]

The command to setup the MageTestStand fails occasionally in build:

The command "curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AOEpeople/MageTestStand/master/setup.sh | bash" exited with 255.

Ref: https://travis-ci.org/firegento/firegento-pdf/jobs/88771518

Sometimes it's green:

The command "curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AOEpeople/MageTestStand/master/setup.sh | bash" exited with 0.

@sprankhub I created the issue here now, have you reported this upstream, too? I can imagine that multiple users of MageTestStand have / had the same problem.

One fix that could be done is to call the command with travis_retry.

Thanks @tkn98! We already had some people (Fabrizio, Bastian, Vinai) who had a look at it. We discussed it on twitter: https://twitter.com/SimonSprankel/status/605264253696778240. Unfortunately, nobody could solve it. Would you be able and willing to remove the usage of MageTestStand and implement the tests in another manner?

This just quickly to check with travis_retry. We might have a different problem as of today because of netz98/n98-magerun#722

[sprankhub]

Thanks! But the problem persists: https://travis-ci.org/firegento/firegento-pdf/builds/89210734

So this is making progress, the remaining problem is now that magerun which operates below mage test stand has to switch to mirrors. I think we should fix that problem first, you can keep track of that here: netz98/n98-magerun#722

The MageTestStand setup should work stable now. Travis still fails though. I created a new issue for the failing Travis CI tests: #293
