Travis CI builds app but doesn't deploy to Surge.sh - yaml

Question

I am trying to build/deploy an angular app everytime I push my code to github. The travis CI build passes but it doesn't deploy to Surge for some reason. I added SURGE_LOGIN and SURGE_TOKEN environment variables to the repository settings but it still doesn't work. Should it not mention that deployment failed in the build log? Any idea what is going wrong here/how I can fix this? Also I don't get emails when a build passes/fails even though this is set in the config file and my email address i added to the SURGE_LOGIN environment variable
the end of my travis build log:
42.29s$ ng build -prod

The command "ng build -prod" exited with 0.

Done. Your build exited with 0.
my .travis.yml code:
#travis CI build configuration
#build language
language: node_js
#node_js versions
node_js:
- "6.11.2"
#before running the build
before-script:
- npm install #install all dependencies
- npm install -g surge #global surge install
#actual build step
script:
- ng build -prod
#build only on push not on pull requests.
deploy:
provider: surge
skip_cleanup: true
project: ./dist/ #build output path
domain: gaping-feeling.surge.sh #surge domain
#notifications
notifications:
email:
on_success: change #default: change
on_failure: change #default: change

Your issue is the yaml indentation. Yaml is indentation specific. So
a:
b:
and
a:
b:
They both have different meaning. In first a and b are top level attributes which in later case b is a child attribute of a. Your yaml should be
#travis CI build configuration
#build language
language: node_js
#node_js versions
node_js:
- "6.11.2"
#before running the build
before-script:
- npm install #install all dependencies
- npm install -g surge #global surge install
#actual build step
script:
- ng build -prod
#build only on push not on pull requests.
deploy:
provider: surge
skip_cleanup: true
project: ./dist/ #build output path
domain: gaping-feeling.surge.sh #surge domain
notifications:
email:
on_success: change
on_failure: change
If you still face issues let me know. But this should fix the problem
