bug(commands): Travis Command Line Client

1. Summary

If I run the Travis Command Line Client commands from grunt-shell:

no commands are executed, nothing happens in the console.

else another commands (for example, see my real project file; I ran from grunt-shell pipenv, git, npx commands; shell and batch scripts, commands with environment variable as argument):

grunt-shell works as expected.

2. MCVE

You can see this configuration in the KiraShellTravis branch of my demo/debugging repository.

Operating system:
1. Windows 10.0.19041.508 Pro N for Workstations 64-bit EN (Local)
2. Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Travis CI)

Part of package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "coffeescript": "^2.5.1",
    "grunt": "^1.3.0",
    "grunt-shell": "^3.0.1"
  }
}

Gruntfile.coffee:

module.exports = (grunt) ->

    grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-shell'

    grunt.initConfig

        shell:
            travislint:
                command: 'travis lint -x'

.travis.yml:

os: linux

dist: focal

git:
  depth: 1

cache: false

language: node_js

node_js:
# [INFO] The latest stable Node.js release:

- node

install:
# [INFO] The latest stable Ruby version already default for Focal Fossa Build environment
# on the October 2020:
# https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/reference/focal/#ruby-support
- gem install travis
- npm install -g grunt-cli
- npm install

script:
# [INFO] Lint “.travis.yml” file locally:

# [INFO] “-x” option — exit code 1 if there are any warnings:
# https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/travis/1.10.0#lint
- travis lint -x
- grunt shell --verbose

3. Steps to reproduce

How I got env.global.secure value from .travis.yml above, that required for the Travis CLI client.

I created a personal access GitHub token → travis encrypt 'GITHUB_TOKEN=<MY_GITHUB_TOKEN>' --add.

4. Behavior

See the Travis build.

4.1. Expected — run command directly

If travis lint -x:

command completed successfully in 0.96 seconds.

4.2. Unexpected — grunt-shell

Else grunt shell --verbose:

Running tasks: shell

Running "shell" task

Running "shell:travislint" (shell) task
Verifying property shell.travislint exists in config…OK
File: [no files]
Options: stdout, stderr, stdin, failOnError, stdinRawMode=false, preferLocal, execOptions={"env":null}
Command: travis lint -x

No output has been received in the last 10m0s, this potentially indicates a stalled build or something wrong with the build itself.
