In theory we could add a script which outputs the db name, then use that from within travis.yml in the before_script field.
- Pros
- students wouldn't have to remember to update the project name in as many places
- Cons
- adding more cleverness to what is supposed to be a student code scaffold
- removing an opportunity for them to interact with and understand
travis.yml
I'm leaning towards not doing this, but figured it wouldn't hurt to make it an open discussion.
