Travis CI suddenly fails: conda command not found

Question

I've never had a problem with my conda environment in my travis-ci build, but it's suddenly started failing. Here's my script

language: python - "2.7"

before_install:
    - wget http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O miniconda.sh
    - chmod +x miniconda.sh
    - "./miniconda.sh -b"
    - export PATH=/home/travis/miniconda/bin:$PATH
    - conda update --yes conda
    - sudo rm -rf /dev/shm
    - sudo ln -s /run/shm /dev/shm
install:
    - conda install --yes python="2.7" psutil sphinx numpy scipy gdal cython h5py pycurl shapely mock matplotlib
    - pip install --user travis-sphinx

script:
    travis-sphinx build

after_success:
    travis-sphinx deploy

Now when my script attempts to run I get this error in the miniconda install section

I'm not sure why the build suddenly fails updating conda, any clues as to why this would happen?

Answer 1

The problem is caused by a change to miniconda. It now installs under ~/miniconda2 instead of ~/miniconda. You just need to change the corresponding line of your travis.yml file to:

    - export PATH=/home/travis/miniconda2/bin:$PATH
