Why is the travis badge not assigned to the role in ansible galaxy?

Question

According to this documentation it should be possible to add a travis badge to an ansible role in galaxy:

Push the changes to your GitHub repo. This will kick-off a Travis build. When the build completes, Travis will notify Galaxy, and your role will be automatically imported into Galaxy with a Travis badge

Although the steps were followed:

1. .travis.yml added to repo that contains the notification part
2. access token from travis profile added to ansible galaxy
3. role imported manually as it was not pushed automatically

the badge does not appear.

Discussion

The build itself does not show the notification. Other roles that have a travis badge do not show this notification either.

Questions

1. What is causing the issue?
2. Why does travis not say anything regarding the notification part?
3. How to debug it?

Answer 1

It looks like your repository is structured correctly, and Travis builds are operating correctly. One thing to check: in Ansible Galaxy's settings, make sure you have added your Travis token to the role in Ansible Galaxy (instructions).

I'm guessing you've done this, but it never hurts to ask!

Two other suggestions:

1. Make sure you complete the rest of the README, as that's the entry point for your role on GitHub and on Galaxy. At least describe what your role does, and consider listing an example of how to use it, some available variables, etc.
2. If you still don't get the badge to show up, maybe there's a bug with your role (with a username like 030... maybe it's a bug in the code that grabs the role—strings that begin with numbers can be interpreted in funny ways in languages like Python!). Consider posting a bug report to the ansible-galaxy issues repository on GitHub.
