Error when deploying Lektor site to Github Pages using Travis CI

Question

I've got a Lektor site that I'm trying to deploy automatically in response to pull requests and commits, using the Travis CI trigger approach from the Lektor docs.

The Lektor configuration works fine from the command line.

The Travis build starts, and appears to build the site without problem - but when it gets to deployment, the log says the following:

Installing deploy dependencies
!!! Script support is experimental !!!

Preparing deploy
Cleaning up git repository with `git stash --all`. If you need build artifacts for deployment, set `deploy.skip_cleanup: true`. See https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/#Uploading-Files.
No local changes to save

Deploying application
Deploying to ghpages-https

  fatal: repository 'https://github.com/pybee/pybee.github.io/' not found
  error: Could not fetch origin
  fatal: repository 'https://github.com/pybee/pybee.github.io/' not found
Done!

For a full log, see here.

I've checked the credentials in the Travis CI configuration for the repository; I'm as certain as I can be that they're correct. I've tried using the same configuration (exporting LEKTOR_DEPLOY_USERNAME and LEKTOR_DEPLOY_PASSWORD locally), and it works fine.

hammer:pybee.org rkm$ lektor deploy ghpages-https

Any suggestions on the cause of this error?

Maybe try using a GitHub repo personal access token instead? As mentioned in the [Lektor docs](https://www.getlektor.com/docs/deployment/travisci/#access-credentials), as it seems like the authentication with GitHub is where it's failing. Or maybe see if you can ramp up the amount of debug info for the deployment command. — ocean, Jul 05 '16 at 02:32
The only difference I spot in the logs is that / at the end of Travis repo, is there any chance this is a typo in your configuration? — akalipetis, Jul 05 '16 at 07:33

It turns out this is a bug in Lektor.

If you use the following in your <project>.lektorproject:

[servers.ghpages-https]
target = ghpages+https://pybee/pybee.github.io?cname=pybee.org

and the following in your .travis.yml:

language: python
python: 2.7
cache:
  directories:
    - $HOME/.cache/pip
    - $HOME/.cache/lektor/builds
install: "pip install git+https://github.com/singingwolfboy/lektor.git@fix-ghpages-https-deploy#egg=lektor"
script: "lektor build"
deploy:
  provider: script
  script: "lektor deploy ghpages-https"
  on:
    branch: lektor

(i.e., use the PR branch for deployment), builds will deploy as expected.

if the linked bug is resolved as the fix is merged now, please consider `accept`-ing your own answer. — kmonsoor, Aug 22 '16 at 15:23
