travis-ci fails to deploy

[Eli Spizzichino]

Greetings to all, and thanks for creating and supporting Nikola.

I've successfully deployed the demo site on github pages with github_deploy. I have the source/master branch working as described in the doc and GITHUB_COMMIT_SOURCE = False and manually pushing source.

I've followed the guide to automate the deployment with travis but it first failed on 

$ git branch master FETCH_HEAD
fatal: A branch named 'master' already exists.

then removing that line it now fails saying no rakefile found

rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)
/home/travis/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `eval'
/home/travis/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `<main>'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

The .travis.yml I'm using is the one in the guide with the necessary username/email substitutions. But if I run

$ travis lint .travis.yml
Warnings for .travis.yml:

[x] value for addons section is empty, dropping

[x] in addons section: unexpected key apt, dropping

I'm not very familiar with travis so I hope someone out there is using it to deploy nikola and can provide a working example beside the official site use a fairly different .travis.yml

Rake errors like those appear when Travis ignores your config file. Please link to your GitHub repo so we can see what went wrong.

(We don’t use Travis to build getnikola.com or any of our other websites.)

I received a link to the GitHub repo in private. I fully respect that,
but I’m still going to answer publicly so that others can learn as
well:

1. Never commit to `master` on your own, at least not without `[ci
skip]` in the commit message — but note that Travis will overwrite it
nevertheless on next rebuild. Only change the `src` branch (or update
your .travis.yml to build only `src`, see updated guide)
2. Ignore `travis lint` output, it doesn’t recognize that syntax for
some reason — but it’s valid, and necessary.
3. Because you enabled some tidy filters, you need to install tidy5 to
build your site.

I actually don't mind if people want to use it as a starting point for an uikit based theme I'll later publish it as a separate repo.

 

1. Never commit to `master`

 Yes this is the source of confusion and it's probably worth to restart from scratch now that I got it working

2. Ignore `travis lint`

good to specify it in the doc 

3. Because you enabled some tidy filters, you need to install tidy5 to
build your site.

While we are on this topic why is called tidy5 and not tidy? can't find it in apt, should I download it from upstream and make a symbolic link to tidy5? 

But more importantly is this the best solution just to have the html properly indented?  I found this solution on SO using BeautifulSoup that don't mess with your html it just indent it. What is the best way to plug it in nikola?

good job now it works! (You just forget to update the line numbers where it says to change username/email etc )

Figure it out yourself, there was an older version of tidy that didn’t
do HTML5. I’m not using this plugin and can’t help you.

We won’t support BeautifulSoup, and won’t ever do it. (BS often uses
lxml under the hood, and has an awful API, so it’s a waste of
resources). Why do you care about indentation? Web browsers will take
anything, it doesn’t have to look nice.

Besides the violently opinionated nature of the comment, whose vitriol
surprises me, I'm not clear if you're dissing the API for BS or for lxml.
Which one is it? Could you elaborate?

BeautifulSoup has an API that breaks the principle of least
astonishment, and that has non-constant attribute lists (eg.
`somedocument.a` might be all <a> elements in that document). Since we
already use lxml and ask it to pretty_print, there isn’t anything
BeautifulSoup will do better (and it would waste resources by having
to parse HTML once more).

Still, why do you need pretty HTML?

I'm not the OP, I just was surprised by the intensity of your hatred. I'll
chalk it up to holy wars reasoning and leave it at that.
