I am having trouble understanding what is wrong with my travis build

Question

I am playing with travis-ci for the first time and have run into an error thats confusing me. Below is my .travis.yml which validates when linted. ``` language: node_js node_js: - 0.8 after_script: - echo "Hello World" ``` The following is my travis build output: ``` $ git clone --depth=50 --branch=master git://github.com/iancrowther/travis-experiment.git iancrowther/travis-experiment Cloning into 'iancrowther/travis-experiment'... remote: Counting objects: 27, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (21/21), done. remote: Total 27 (delta 2), reused 20 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (27/27), done. Resolving deltas: 100% (2/2), done. $ cd iancrowther/travis-experiment git.2 $ git checkout -qf xxx $ nvm use 0.8 Now using node v0.8.22 $ node --version v0.8.22 $ npm --version 1.2.14 $ make test make: *** No rule to make target `test'. Stop. The command "make test" exited with 2. after_script $ echo "Hello World" Hello World Done. Your build exited with 1. ``` How can i prevent the make…

Accepted Answer

change `after_script` to `script`

Have a look at this `.travis.yml` :

```
before_install:
 - sudo apt-get update -qq
 - sudo apt-get install -qq python3.2 python2.7

python:
 - "2.7"

script: ./run_build.sh
```

The last line is the important one.

script is the command that runs the test.

before is something that enables the test to run and after is something to clean up. It is the same pattern you may know from unittests. Setup, Test, Teardown

Since Travis does not find a `script:` I guess it takes a default option for testing.
