Is there a way to configure Travis GitHub Pages Deployment within stages? - github

Question

Expected
To be able to deploy Pages to GitHub within Travis using stages.
Result
Fail, I must not have the proper synthax or it is not possible.
Reproduction
Source:
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pages/
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-stages/
Project:
https://travis-ci.org/kopax/deleteme
https://github.com/kopax/deleteme
This work for building the page without stages: See the passing travis job : travis-ci.org/kopax/deleteme/builds/380660202:
dist: trusty
# Blocklist
branches:
except:
- gh-pages # will be deployed to, no need to build it
cache:
directories:
- node_modules
node_js:
- "10"
before_install:
- npm install -g npm
# const
- export PACKAGE_NAME=$(node -p "require('./package.json').name")
- export PACKAGE_VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
- export NODE_VERSION=$(node --version)
- export NPM_VERSION=$(npm --version)
# logging
- npm --version || echo npm not installed
- node --version|| echo node not installed
- npx rollup-umd-scripts --version || echo npx not installed
- echo "package version $PACKAGE_VERSION"
language: node_js
sudo: required
script:
# execute all of the commands which need to be executed
# before running actual tests
- npm run styleguide:build
deploy:
provider: pages
skip_cleanup: true
github_token: $GH_TOKEN # Set in the settings page of your repository, as a secure variable
keep_history: true
local_dir: public/
on:
branch: master
But this is failing when added the Page deployement as a stage See this failed travis job: travis-ci.org/kopax/deleteme/jobs/380983577:
language: node_js
sudo: required
#env:
# global:
# - DISPLAY=:99.0
# - NODE_ENV=test
dist: trusty
# Blocklist
branches:
except:
- gh-pages # will be deployed to, no need to build it
cache:
directories:

node_js:
- "10"
before_install:
- npm install -g npm
# const
- export PACKAGE_NAME=$(node -p "require('./package.json').name")
- export PACKAGE_VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
- export NODE_VERSION=$(node --version)
- export NPM_VERSION=$(npm --version)
# logging

- echo "package version $PACKAGE_VERSION"
stages:
- build

- deploy

Does anybody know how I can have stages deployment with page working in Travis?

Answer 1

Your deploy stage had no install/script defined, thus it took default one.
You need to define in stage what you want to do, you forgot about deploy level.
To have dedicated stage for deployment only, configure it like this:
- stage: deploy
if: type = push AND branch = master # or whenever you want to deploy
script: skip # to not run Travis' default script
deploy: # <-- that was missing !!!
- provider: pages
skip_cleanup: true
github_token: $GH_TOKEN # Set in the settings page of your repository, as a secure variable
keep_history: true
local_dir: public/
