 > @netweb Sorry to be dense - can you explain what
 [attachment:6726.1.diff] does?
 Sure

 > Is this meant to be a patch for our trunk `.travis.yml`?
 Yes

 > It looks like it runs a single `grunt build` job to every build. Is that
 right?
 Incorrect, the [attachment:6726.1.diff] patch adds 1 extra job to the
 build matrix to run a PHP 7 job that runs `grunt build` once

 It is not part of any of the existing jobs, the existing jobs remain
 unchanged and will continue to perform exactly as they currently do.


 > Or is this meant to describe the once-daily matrix?
 No

 > I'm getting a bit bleary-eyed at the double- and triple-negatives in the
 matrix definition :)

 The patch [attachment:6726.2.diff] is only a refresh of
 [attachment:6726.1.diff] but probably still doesn't make a whole lot of
 sense, the two key pieces are adding Travis environment variables
 `BP_TRAVISCI=travis:grunt` and `BP_TRAVISCI=travis:phpunit` to either the
 Grunt or PHPUnit Travis CI jobs, each job is then passed these environment
 variables and ran via `script: grunt $BP_TRAVISCI` for each type of job

 Currently there are 34 jobs per Travis CI build plus an additional job for
 PHP7 Nightly totalling 35 jobs per build
 * https://travis-ci.org/ntwb/BuddyPress/builds/130173785


 Using [attachment:6726.2.diff] an extra job [https://travis-
 ci.org/ntwb/BuddyPress/jobs/130175543 50.36] is added to the build matrix
 taking the total to 36 jobs per build.
 * https://travis-ci.org/ntwb/BuddyPress/builds/130175507

 The primary purpose of adding this job per the original Slack chat was to
 provide a way to pickup utilising Travis CI for any potential failures
 running the primary Grunt tasks. Previously the existing tasks only ran
 `grunt travis:phpunit` which in turn runs each of these grunt tasks:
 `grunt jsvalidate:src`, `grunt jshint`, `grunt checktextdomain`, `grunt
 test`, the "main" Grunt task `grunt build` was previously never ran within
 Travis CI.
