Does your build fails, even if > it works on your local Emacs instance? Please tell me! To be honest, it is not useful for me. I already have a more powerful setup for automatically build and test my Flycheck package. It's based on Carton and Vagrant to create automated and repeatable VMs for local unit testing and Travis CI to build my package and run my ERT tests after every single push. As long as you do not run my ERT tests with all necessary dependencies (beyond just package.el deps), you don't tell me anything I didn't already know.
