Hugo Basic using theme with Hugo Pipes works on local machine but fails on Travis CI

My theme uses Hugo Pipes. To make sure that I notice when the theme breaks when using Hugo Basic, I decided to use Travis CI. This is my .travis.yml file:

There are still a few things I would like to improve, e.g. use the latest releases of Go and Hugo instead of the master branch, but that’s not the subject of my question.

My problem is: the build works on local machines but fails on Travis CI.

Output from a working build (thanks to @alexandros who also tested this for me):

Does anyone have an idea? Thanks!

Hi @Emiel – so I think this has something to do with using the latest dev version of Hugo, as opposed to the latest stable version.

I created a sample repo, and based my .travis.yml off yours. But instead of using the dev version, I download the non-extended Linux 64-bit v0.51 binary and add it to the PATH.

Here’s the updated .travis.yml file, and here’s the passing build.

Hi @zwbetz,

Thanks a lot for looking into this! I wasn’t expecting using the dev version to be the problem since the local build also used the dev version. Assumptions… :wink:

I updated my own repo with your .travis.yml and it works like a charm.

Thanks again!

Glad it works now :+1:
