<p>I see that problem started with <a href="https://ci.appveyor.com/project/patrickelectric/public-privated-repo/build/master-503-4ed149f/job/rkufan7gm7yk26q3#L3788">this build</a>. And and as you see error here is different -- <code>Validation Failed</code>, and also appveyor does not seem to recognize (by calling GitHub API) that release with this tag <code>continuous</code> already exists. It tries to create new release and failed. After that (I am speculating) duplicate release created on GitHub and error <code>sequence contains more than one matching element</code> started to appear in the <a href="https://ci.appveyor.com/project/patrickelectric/public-privated-repo/build/master-503-4ed149f/job/2k9o0qvtpms60ya0">next build</a> and few next builds.</p>
<p>We probably need to contact GitHub for more information, but before that, do you remember you did something special which can be correlated to the initial error and moment problem disappeared?</p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyntag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/449570092019-06-24T13:49:38Z2019-06-24T13:49:38ZError creating GitHub release: Sequence contains more than one matching element<div><p>Got it a second time today:<br>

<p>Can you add one and let us know if this eliminates the error.</p></div>Owen McDonnell
