Hey there, we have a build failure over here [https://travis-ci.org/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/builds/525153306?utm\_source=github\_status&utm\_medium=notification](https://travis-ci.org/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/builds/525153306?utm_source=github_status&utm_medium=notification) but the after\_failure part is not executed. Any idea why?

I believe that nonzero exits before `script` (in this case, `before_script`):

> <https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/blob/8e2f2844e1bbe88da9da2f9c25aaee017eba2fdd/.travis.yml#L13>

is considered a failure, but, rather, an error, as indicated in the status.

Hrm would moving to script and after\_script help then?

Or I guess the better way would be to move my before\_script to script and my script to after\_sucess, otherwise it would always run since after\_script still runs even if the job failed
