Error publishing to github when building on travis

[jbleuzen]

Hi,
I have error on my Travis instance when building my app : GitHub Personal Access Token is not specified. The fact is I don't want to publish to github so I want to disable this publish thing.

I've added this in my package.json (the developper one) :

"build": {
"publish": "never"
...
}

But when I read the docs, I see "But please consider to use automatic rules and don't specify publish explicitly". So, is the "publish" attribute used or not ???

Please provide full stack trace of error. Must be no error if you don't use script named release.

I don't use npm release but npm run dist, here is the output i have as "raw log" in Travis :

Forgot to mention that I have this error twice in my log.

I forgot to mention that even when I set the argument 'publish' to 'never' with npm run dist -p never, I also get the error...

And I see that the params is well "understand" as I get this output :

> build "never"

[jbleuzen]

It looks like no body have input to give me for this...
I looked the source and don't see a reason why the github publisher is running.

Maybe someone can help me reproduce the Travis setup so that I can edit code on my machine to fix this ?

@jbleuzen I returned from vacation and there were another issues to fix (remember, I work on project in my spare time by morning :)). Now I am going to investigate it. You can expect fix/solution today.

[jbleuzen]

@develar didn't mean to be too pressing. Sorry about that and I hoped your vacation were fun :p

I was also offering help if I can replicate travis env so I can make some printf debug 😄
I looked at the code and don't understand why I get that message on travis only.

Thanks @develar it's working !
