[WIP] Add SITL integration tests in CI

[julianoes]

This is work in progress to have SITL integration tests running in CI

Awesome!

You should take a look at the "package" we're using to do this in PX4.
http://ci.px4.io:8080/blue/organizations/jenkins/PX4_misc%2FFirmware-SITL_tests/detail/master/57/pipeline

1. Build: make posix_sitl_default sitl_gazebo
2. Build: make posix_sitl_default package
   • this creates an archive with PX4 + sitl_gazebo (libraries and models)
   • stash (pipeline temp storage)
3. ROS Tests: separate jobs for every test that run in parallel
   • unstash px4 and run

For every successful build (master/beta/stable) we could archive the package so that you could use it directly.

Another interesting idea might be to have PX4 master/beta/stable create and push docker containers to docker hub.

You could then use docker-compose to drive this testing (PX4 container + Dronecode SDK container driving it).

[lamping7]

Pushing a stable px4 firmware docker image is a good idea. The SDK shouldn't have to build the the firmware.

We could also just push the px4 package to s3. This would make it available outside Jenkins too, for users.

I can help out here. Ping me on slack or comment here if you want to bounce this of someone.

That has been done in #642.
