Recent Travis build times look highly variable:
The change in pattern here coincides with switching to Jest in #1382.
After adding coverage reporting in #1783, we are putting even more stress on the Travis CI container that runs the JavaScript CI job. It's effectively running 4 jobs at once:
npm run build
npm run lint
(Jest will use 2 workers because our Travis containers have 2 cores and Jest defaults to 1 worker per core.)
This PR changes the CI job to run only two concurrent tasks:
npm run lint
, thennpm run build
I'll run a few builds against this PR and use the same
travis-stats
app to verify that build times are shorter and/or more consistent.
