Is icmp blocked at travis-ci?

Question

I have a

ping -c 1 -q n.n.n.n command 

that fails only at Travis CI.

Is ping blocked there?

Answer 1

Found the answer to my own question, straight from travis support

Hi Name,

Thanks for writing in. Yes indeed, on our container based infrastructure, ICMP is not possible. Could you speficy sudo: required in the .travis.yml and see if it brings improvement?

Thanks!

Joep
