Kind of frustrated by this…

Our build process runs about 30 jobs, that have a common script.

I see no way to get Postgresql to properly connect within a job. I can install it fine, but cannot make the connection. The problem seems to be that within a job /etc is not quite the same as outside a job.

Its fine in just a simple travis .yml file (lots of instructions for that) but when I move the setup inside the job it does not work.

Please I am begging for help here. This is large open source project, and I am paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket to use travis.

I ask for help here, and get none, I send repeated requests to travis via email or the support portal and get no answer.

I appreciate any help anyone could give, or at least to let me know how to get some support from the travis team.
