Hi,
Since two weeks ago the Documenter stop deploying the docs. It doesn’t tell me why, only [Info: skipping docs deployment.](https://travis-ci.org/GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl/builds/535090743)
What is wrong here?
Thanks

Sorry, update what? If you are referring to [hosting instructions](https://juliadocs.github.io/Documenter.jl/stable/man/hosting/) I spent hours last night trying to make it work but got nothing but (uncomprehensible to me) errors. To start with the man page is not clear on what to do when the repo is under an organisation instead of individual. And even before that it fails on Windows with
```julia
julia> Travis.genkeys(user="joa-quim", repo="git@github.com:GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl.git")
ERROR: IOError: could not spawn `which which`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

```
I had SSH keys from a previous attempt but as I said, every time I tried to follow one of the advices, type
````julia

I fell into a new error.

It’s understandable that you might be quite frustrated by trouble getting this working but sniping at someone who is trying to help you seems like a bad way to get more help.

You are right that I am frustrated but I tried to be only factual about the errors and the things I don’t understand, but I don’t have the impression of having been offensive. If I was, I apologies.

Did you see [Hosting Documentation · Documenter.jl](https://juliadocs.github.io/Documenter.jl/stable/man/hosting/#.travis.yml-Configuration-1)?
Here is an example: [OhMyREPL.jl/.travis.yml at 9f5e1852f3864e5dc64aaa0fc089e985131e51bc · KristofferC/OhMyREPL.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/KristofferC/OhMyREPL.jl/blob/9f5e1852f3864e5dc64aaa0fc089e985131e51bc/.travis.yml#L27-L35).
And the corresponding `make.jl`: [OhMyREPL.jl/make.jl at master · KristofferC/OhMyREPL.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/KristofferC/OhMyREPL.jl/blob/master/docs/make.jl) together with a Project + Manifest in that directory.

Thanks for the pointers, but indeed I had read them all. But as I pointed out in first message, not easy. For example trying to get the keys
```julia
julia> Travis.genkeys(user="joa-quim", repo="git@github.com:GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl.git")
ERROR: IOError: could not spawn `which which`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)
```
Also looked into the [examples](https://juliadocs.github.io/Documenter.jl/stable/man/examples/#Examples-1) pointed out in the Docmenter page to realize that many (most) of are them still doing the same thing I used to do until it stop working.
Also had tried what turned out to finally work today, which was to change the deploydocs instruction to
```julia
deploydocs(
repo = "github.com/GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl.git",
)
```
but, probably in combination with something else, yesterday I still got incomprehensible errors.
In summary, it now works again though I’m not exactly sure I understand the reason.

If your documentation used to deploy you should already have Travis keys setup so that shouldn’t need to be done again.
The error you are getting seems like an issue with `Travis.genkeys` in Documenter in that it seems to only work on mac / linux where `which` is available.

It used to deploy but without the Travis keys (like it’s still not using them now). Another thing I haven’t mention is that when it stop working I actually had it _version restricted_
```julia
julia -e 'using Pkg; ps=Pkg.PackageSpec(name="Documenter", version="0.19"); Pkg.add(ps); Pkg.pin(ps)'
```
so even more strange that it stop deploying.
Regarding the `which`, I know that and even have gnu port of it in my Win machine, but if I make it visible then the error changed to
```julia
julia> Travis.genkeys(user="joa-quim", repo="git@github.com:GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl.git")
ERROR: 'which' not found.
```

In the log you linked ([Travis CI - Test and Deploy with Confidence](https://travis-ci.org/GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl/builds/535090743#L3332)) I see
```julia
julia -e 'using Pkg; ps=Pkg.PackageSpec(name="Documenter"); Pkg.add(ps); Pkg.pin(ps)'
```
Where did you set the `version=` keyword?

Yes, but that link was from after I had removed the version in the first attempts to solve the issue, See [this log](https://travis-ci.org/GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl/builds/534982656) (probably from the same day, or close)
```julia
julia -e 'using Pkg; ps=Pkg.PackageSpec(name="Documenter", version="0.19");
```

Doing
```julia
Documenter: skipping docs deployment.
You can set DOCUMENTER_DEBUG to "true" in Travis to see more information.
```
would have been a good idea to see why it didn’t deploy.
It was probably because you had specified that the docs should be deployed from 1.0.3:
>
but that run was on 1.1.0.

I [did that too](https://travis-ci.org/GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl/builds/534993945) but couldn’t get any useful info out of it.

Now, that makes sense. Thanks

Yeah but in that log you are not using v0.19 of Documenter anymore so then that advice doesn’t apply.

True. As I said, tried a lot things, but not always in a clairvoyant way.
