# Travis CI

This guide walks you through the process of automating Sentry release management and deploy notifications in Travis CI. After deploying in Travis CI, you’ll be able to identify suspect commits that are likely the culprit for new errors. You’ll also be able to apply source maps to see the original code in Sentry.

Before starting, confirm that your Sentry project is properly set up to track commit metadata by [installing a repository integration](https://docs.sentry.io/product/releases/setup/release-automation.md). Once that's installed, and you've added your repository, come back to this guide. If you've already installed a repository integration, you're ready to go.

## [Create a Sentry Internal Integration](https://docs.sentry.io/product/releases/setup/release-automation/travis-ci.md#create-a-sentry-internal-integration)

For Travis CI to communicate securely with Sentry, you'll need to create a new internal integration. In Sentry, navigate to **Settings > Developer Settings > New Internal Integration**.

Give your new integration a name (for example, “Travis CI Deploy Integration”) and specify the necessary permissions. In this case, you need Admin access for “Release” and Read access for “Organization”.

For more details about scopes and API endpoints, see the full documentation on [API Permissions](https://docs.sentry.io/api/permissions.md).

Click "Save", then record your token, which you'll need in the next section.

## [Setting Environment Variables in Travis CI](https://docs.sentry.io/product/releases/setup/release-automation/travis-ci.md#setting-environment-variables-in-travis-ci)

Next, you'll need a few environment variables to configure the Sentry CLI:

* `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN` - Your internal integration token
* `SENTRY_ORG` - Your Sentry organization slug
* `SENTRY_PROJECT` - Your Sentry project slug

To access your internal integration token securely, store it as an [environment variable on your repository](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/environment-variables/#defining-variables-in-repository-settings):

1. In the Travis CI application, go to your repository's settings by clicking "Settings" from the "More options" menu.
2. Find the "Environment Variables" section.
3. Add a new variable with `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN` as the name and your internal integration token as the value.

The other variables do not contain sensitive information, so you'll use the `env` key to define them as environment variables in your .travis.yml file.

## [Create Release and Notify Sentry of Deployment](https://docs.sentry.io/product/releases/setup/release-automation/travis-ci.md#create-release-and-notify-sentry-of-deployment)

To automate your Sentry release management process, you'll need to add the `Create release and notify Sentry of deploy` job below after your deploy step:

```yaml
jobs:
  include:
    # ...
    - name: Create release and notify Sentry of deploy
      env: SENTRY_ORG=sample-organization-slug SENTRY_PROJECT=sample-project-slug SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT=production
      script: |
        curl -sL https://sentry.io/get-cli/ | bash
        export SENTRY_RELEASE=$(sentry-cli releases propose-version)
        sentry-cli releases new -p $SENTRY_PROJECT $SENTRY_RELEASE
        sentry-cli releases set-commits $SENTRY_RELEASE --auto
        sentry-cli sourcemaps upload --release $SENTRY_RELEASE path-to-sourcemaps-if-applicable
        sentry-cli releases finalize $SENTRY_RELEASE
        sentry-cli deploys new -e $SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT
```

For more details about the release management concepts in the snippet above, see the full documentation on [release management](https://docs.sentry.io/cli/releases.md).

**Notes**:

* If you’re not deploying a project that requires source maps or you've sent source maps to Sentry using another method, omit the `sourcemaps upload` line.
* If you can’t install a repository integration, send commit metadata using the [create release endpoint](https://docs.sentry.io/product/releases/associate-commits.md#using-the-api) or omit the `set-commits` line (`set-commits` is required for suspect commits).
* `sentry-cli releases propose-version` defaults to the commit SHA of the commit being deployed (recommended). To set this to a different version, modify `SENTRY_RELEASE` to the preferred version.
