I have a multi-stage build set-up for an open-source academic project,

> **[humlab/video\_reuse\_detector](https://github.com/humlab/video_reuse_detector)**
>
> Contribute to humlab/video\_reuse\_detector development by creating an account on GitHub.

with the corresponding .travis.yml: [https://github.com/humlab/video\_reuse\_detector/blob/master/.travis.yml](https://github.com/humlab/video_reuse_detector/blob/master/.travis.yml)

Wherein if I have the following set-up,

```
  - if ["$TRAVIS_OS_NAME" == "linux"]; then sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg npm; fi

install:
  - 'pip install pipenv'
  - 'pipenv install --dev'
  - 'npm i --prefix frontend'

```

then my Tests stage (default name) can run without issue, but then for my named stage “App Tests” the build will fail with the following error,

```
$ npm i --prefix frontend
Please override the script: key in your .travis.yml to run tests.

```

Here is a sample instance of this happening: [https://travis-ci.com/humlab/video\_reuse\_detector/builds/151719834](https://travis-ci.com/humlab/video_reuse_detector/builds/151719834) ([https://travis-ci.com/humlab/video\_reuse\_detector/jobs/293839605](https://travis-ci.com/humlab/video_reuse_detector/jobs/293839605))

I need npm to be able to lint-check the JS-part of what is predominantly a Python code-base. How do I have these things co-exist?

The problem is here:

> <https://github.com/humlab/video_reuse_detector/blob/f6f11f654d90f574ec8c01524f8e50d55da6a419/.travis.yml#L33-34>

`- stage: "App Tests"` is an item by itself (in an array of `jobs.include`), defining a new stage _ **and** _ a default Python job. From what you are describing, I believe what you want is to combine this line with the following job with the `script` key, so that you have:

```auto
- stage: "App Tests"
  script: docker-compose …

```

See the first example in this section of the documentation.

That worked beautifully. Thank you!
