Hey @marimeireles,
Couple examples how `travis_terminate` can be used, for example in a `.travis.yml` file I was making the other day it looked liked this:
```bash
travis_assert() {
local result=${1:-$?}
if [$result -ne 0]; then
echo -e "\n${ANSI_RED}The command \"$TRAVIS_CMD\" failed and exited with $result during $TRAVIS_STAGE.${ANSI_RESET}\n\nYour build has been stopped."
travis_terminate 2
fi
}
```
Another example would be:
```bash
travis_terminate() {
set +e
```
Both of these resulted in non-issue. From briefly looking at your `.travis.yml` I don’t see anything wrong with it. I suggest you take a look at the following:

This will give you a better idea of the function of `travis_terminate`, and also I would suggest checking out this response by **native-api,** - and see with this information we can’t curb this issue!

If that file is not found, I am trying to use the [poorly-documented](https://github.com/travis-ci/docs-travis-ci-com/issues/1899) travis\_terminate command to halt the process: run\_process(["travis\_terminate", "0"]) This seems to be a common approach, as mentioned in [#1574](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/1574) and other issues. However, this invocation results in a FileNotFoundError: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'travis\_terminate': 'travis\_terminate' At first, I though…
I hope this helps, if none of this helps please post back and I’ll investigate further.
