Travis for C++ always ignore script for customize testing - c++

Question

I've been experimenting this and spend more than 25 commit with only small change in .travis.yml but travis always do either:
./configure: if I put the language: cpp in the first line. travis will ignore everything written in .travis.yml and will go straight ./configure && make && make test
language: cpp
addons:
apt:
sources:
- ubuntu-sdk-team
addons:
apt:
packages:
- ubuntu-sdk
before_script: ls
script: qmake demo/QtGoodiesDemo/QtGoodiesDemo.pro && make
sudo: false
rake: if I reorder the placement of language: cpp or remove it. this point, travis succeeded install the dependency (apt addons executed)
addons:
apt:
sources:
- ubuntu-sdk-team
addons:
apt:
packages:
- ubuntu-sdk
before_script: ls
script: qmake demo/QtGoodiesDemo/QtGoodiesDemo.pro && make
language: cpp
sudo: false
I have read the documentation and using what it told just lead me to the point (1) problem.
I've searched but nobody got this problem, I wonder how people do this.
(This is the link)
Attempt 1
using nested apt source still gets me to problem(1) and ignore the custom script (https://travis-ci.org/imakin/QtGoodies/builds/85143452). Note that in problem 2 when rake is called, it succeeded in installing ubuntu-sdk for the Qt dependencies
language: cpp
sudo: false
addons:
apt:
sources:
- ubuntu-sdk-team
packages:
- ubuntu-sdk
before_script: ls
script: qmake demo/QtGoodiesDemo/QtGoodiesDemo.pro && make
Attempt 2
So then I try to play it and added configure file. Having it all rwxrwxrwx permission too. and pushed it. But travis still execute to problem (1) again. No Qt Installing, even failed to run the configure telling it has no permission to execute it. I can't do anything to chmod it in testing process though as before_script is ignored too. This one occurred in https://travis-ci.org/imakin/QtGoodies/builds/85146543

Answer 1

I think your .travis.yml file is invalid and prevents it to be parsed properly, hence you default to the Ruby language.
Can you try merging both addons.apt sections like so:
addons:
apt:
sources:
- ubuntu-sdk-team
packages:
- ubuntu-sdk
Hope this helps!
Update: it turns out the .travis.yml file started with a hidden character that prevented Travis CI from parsing it properly.
