Error 255 on Travis build, builds fine locally

I don’t understand why Hugo builds fine locally, but throw an error 255 on Travis, can someone help me figuring it out please?

I have the same Hugo version locally and in .travis.yml.
I should mention that the build time time went from some ms to sometimes 5 seconds with last commit (switching from css to bootstrap scss), which seems weird.

This looks to be an issue with gulp, not hugo. From your linked log:

Indeed!
I forgot Hugo needs postcss-cli / autoprefixer as global dependencies, Travis couldn’t find them at build time (gulp tasks)… Problem solved.

Thanks, have a great day Zachary.
