Travis-CI build doesn't start at all on a pull request

After making some changes to my .travis.yml file, I find after pushing to my branch that neither my commit nor the pull request associated with my branch are getting checked by a Travis CI build:

Instead, I should be seeing a green or red notation beside the commit number, like this:

To investigate the problem with your build, on Travis CI you may go to Requests tab. It may be hidden, so just change in URL /pull_requests into /requests to show all the attempts for the build. E.g.

Travis CI requests tab - build - missing config

Most common problem is misconfiguration or missing .travis.yml. Even when it's saying missing config, the message is misleading, as there could be a syntax error in the YAML file.

To check for the syntax, run (if you've travis command):

travis lint

otherwise check your configuration on-line at Travis WebLint.

If the file exists and there is no syntax error, check if you've pushed your branch correctly and you're not whitelisting/blacklisting your branches.

The changes I made to my .travis.yml file made it no longer parse as valid YAML.

I pasted the contents of my .travis.yml file into the Travis WebLint utility to check, and that was the problem.

After I pushed a correction, Travis-CI started to do builds for my commits again.
