Travis CI: calling exit in script kills the cache upload
On Travis CI, never call exit in your script phase if you want caching (or anything after script) to run. It kills the worker immediately; let the script finish normally so the cache stage executes.
Context: From a Travis CI community forum thread, resolved by the reporter. A Maven build completed successfully but the local repository was never cached. The cause: the build script called exit, which terminated the worker before the cache-upload stage ran. Removing the exit call fixed caching. Anything that ends the worker early, even on success, skips the stages after script.Maintainer review
