Travis gives me ruby as language, even if I specified bash

[deajan]

Hello,

i'm facing some strange issue where travis "view config" shows

{
  "language": "ruby",
  "group": "stable",
  "dist": "trusty",
  "os": "linux"
}

whereas my .travis.yml file is

language: bash

sudo: required

addons:
  apt:
    packages:
    - mysql-server-5.6
    - mysql-client-core-5.6
    - mysql-client-5.6

service
    mysql

os:
    linux
    osx

before_script:
    service --status-all; mysql -e 'CREATE DATABASE travistest;'

script:
    TRAVIS_RUN=true dev/tests/run_tests.sh

My build https://travis-ci.org/deajan/obackup/jobs/333823743 fails with rake command which obviously is ruby...
Anything I missed in recent changes please ?

Best regards.

This is weird. Your .travis.yml is invalid. As a result, the parser should fail and show the error message to this effect. But instead, the default configuration is used.

Indeed, fixed the file, no more ruby. Still the issue is strange.
Initially, I've tried a lot of changes in the yaml file in order to get mysql working again.
Any think I can read ? I've tried a lot of solutions, but can't get mysql to work.

In https://github.com/deajan/obackup/blob/2eed11303b75201400e0469b7c30d3f0d5290d25/.travis.yml you are using language: bash. I don't think we install MySQL on that image. Please try installing it yourself, or use another language.

While the initial issue (where an invalid YAML file triggers a build) is troubling, I am going to close this, since the issue is now resolved.

[deajan]

Thanks.
For the records, language: bash worked without trouble some months ago.
Also, nowhere in the travis doc is written that language: bash will exclude mysql.
I just checked with language: php and indeed I get mysql installed.
Maybe update the doc ?

Also, shall I open another issue for the invalid YAML file triggers a build ?

Thanks.

i am facing this , when trying to deploy my application through travis

In my case, I had a .gitignore pattern matching .travis.yml, so it wasn't getting check-in at all - the random rake errors definitely didn't help alleviate my confusion.

Could we get a warning for missing/bad .travis.yml config file in the control panel or something?

Might save somebody some embarrassment ;-)

This is really confusing. It should default to ruby. It should tell you that your travis file is invalid. In my case I had "travis.yaml"
