I am trying to deploy Travis CI in my Django/ Vue project. I added this `.travis.yml` file to my root folder:

```auto
language: python
python:
  - '3.7.3'
sudo: required
before_install:
  - chmod +x ./pizza/manage.py
before_script:
  - pip install -r requirements.txt
env: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="pizzago.settings"
services:
  - postgresql
script:
  - ./pizza/manage.py test --keepdb

```

But as I run the build I get this output:

```auto
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ./pizza/manage.py test --keepdb
   System check identified no issues (0 silenced).
   Ran 0 tests in 0.000s
   OK
   The command "./pizza/manage.py test --keepdb" exited with 0.
   Done. Your build exited with 0.

```

Running my tests locally with `'python3 manage.py test --keepdb'` works perfectly. My `manage.py` is not in my root folder. Looks like my tests are not found.

Hey @SolarUltima,

Your `manage.py` is **not** in your root directory but rather it’s `/pizza/` directory. Travis should run the script inside this directory.

Change your `.travis.yml` to read this way (can lint this to make sure this works):

```auto
language: python
python:
  - '3.7.3'
sudo: required
before_install:
  - chmod +x ./pizza/manage.py
before_script:
  - pip install -r requirements.txt
  - cd ./pizza/
env: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="pizzago.settings"
services:
  - postgresql
script:
  - python manage.py test --keepdb

```

This will solve your issue hopefully, if it doesn’t please post back.

Hey @SolarUltima,

No problem. I’ll link you to a gist, for a further example. Glad I could help.
