Travis CI + google-cloud-sdk + updated kubectl + Docker

travis.yml

# The Google Cloud SDK on Travis is pretty old (2014). So if
# you want to use an up-to-date version, you have to install
# your own. This config is the bare minimum you'll need to
# get an updated version of the SDK + kubectl.
cache:
  directories:
  # We cache the SDK so we don't have to download it again on subsequent builds.
  - $HOME/google-cloud-sdk
services:
# Include the docker service so you can roll your own images.
# You can remove this if you already have images somewhere else.
- docker
env:
  global:
  # Do not prompt for user input when using any SDK methods.
  - CLOUDSDK_CORE_DISABLE_PROMPTS=1 
before_install:
- if [ ! -d $HOME/google-cloud-sdk/bin ]; then
    # The install script errors if this directory already exists,
    # but Travis already creates it when we mark it as cached.
    rm -rf $HOME/google-cloud-sdk;
    # The install script is overly verbose, which sometimes causes
    # problems on Travis, so ignore stdout.
    curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash > /dev/null;
  fi
# This line is critical. We setup the SDK to take precedence in our
# environment over the old SDK that is already on the machine.
- source $HOME/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc
- gcloud components update kubectl
- gcloud version
# Insert your own install + script below.
install: true
script: true

@OkThought Thanks for your comment. Here is how I reformatted the if block to work with travis:

- if [ ! -d "$HOME/google-cloud-sdk/bin" ]; then rm -rf "$HOME/google-cloud-sdk"; curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash > /dev/null; fi
