I have the “Build config validation” enabled for my repository, however my colleague does not. But according to the docs, adding “version: ~\> 1.0” to travis.yml should enable build config validation.

It does not seem to in this case:

In the case of my repository, I have “Build config validation” enabled through the UI:

Hey @rjollos,

Is there anyway I can get a snippet of your `.travis.yml` file – pertaining to the build config validation.

Hi @Montana,

This is for an open-source project, so the whole `.travis.yml` can be seen here:

Thanks!
