Travis

Debugging Travis

If you make a trivial syntax error in .travis.yml, any push or pull request will not generate a build, and it will not be apparent why.

When you do not see a Travis build starting that you would expect, go to Settings->Requests and see if the error missing config appears. If it does, you most likely have a config but it contains a syntax error. (This is a bug: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/2025.)

The best way to debug syntax errors in .travis.yml is to paste them into http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/. This page will reveal whether or not your script is valid and may be helpful in identifying the error.
