Hugo And TravisCI Issue

TurnToJPG -->

Problem

In this morning when I get up and try to write something in my blog, I found the blog won’t upate. In travisCI website I got something very strange like following picture shows:

Error info:

Failed to normalize URL string. Returning in = "/"

Reason

As discussed in this post:

https://discuss.gohugo.io/t/started-getting-failed-to-normalize-url-string-returning-in/5034

This is because hugo now holds its own dependencies using govendor, you could view from its repository:

$ cd $GOPATH
$ cd src/github.com/spf13/hugo 
$ ls -l vendor 
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 dash root 14793 Jan  3 11:23 vendor.json

Solution

Using govendor for syncing the dependencies, the modified .travis.yml is listed as following:

install:
    - go get -u -v github.com/kardianos/govendor
    - go get -u -v github.com/spf13/hugo
    - cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/spf13/hugo && govendor sync && go install
  

script:
    - cd $HOME/gopath/src/github.com/purplepalmdash/purplepalmdash.github.io && hugo

Save changes and commit it into github, the travis building will start again, this time you won’t failed.
