Ever want to know where you went wrong when configuring your .travis.yml<\/code> file? You should try Travis CI Build Explorer. Travis CI build config format is formally specified using a JSON Schema. Travis CI uses this specification to normalize and validate build configs, let\u2019s do a sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First let\u2019s open up the Travis CI Build Explorer<\/a>. Let\u2019s take this .travis.yml<\/code> file for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

language: bash\n\nbefore_install:\n  - chmod +x setup.sh\n  - .\/setup.sh\n  - python --version\ninstall: skip\nscript: true<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This is a good .travis.yml<\/code> and Build Explorer will pass it, here\u2019s how it will look when I run it through Build Explorer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Now let\u2019s say we have a .travis.yml<\/code> that errors, and we wnat to find out what that is. You\u2019ll notice the verbose output on the right:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Travis CI Build Explorer is a great tool to get more verbose outputs as to why your build might be failing and give you another scope of things you might be able to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As always though, you can email me at montana@travis-ci.org<\/a> if you have any questions, or problems about your .travis.yml<\/code> file, or just want something answered about the Travis CI Build Config.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy Building!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
