Yml file isn't finding my solution file :(

I've got the following in my yml file...

#---------------------------------#
#       build configuration       #
#---------------------------------#

before_build:
  - nuget restore

build:
  project: XWing.sln
  parallel: true
  verbosity: minimal

and i'm always getting this error message...

641 
642 nuget restore
643 This folder contains more than one solution file.
644 Command exited with code 1

Ok, so even if i specify it in the UI, the same thing .. but that's because the build worker detects the presence of a yml file and uses that.

Is this a bug or am I just being an idiot (again).

• Yes, the file is there. It's reporting that it's finding a few.
• Yes, i've tried using the full path: `project: c:\projects\xwing\XWing.sln'

   OK, first set Ignore appveyor.yml and check if setting SLN on UI works.

   Great idea! ok, lets try.

   settings:

   

   output:

   Build started
   git clone -q --branch=<snipped>C:\projects\xwing
   git checkout -qf <snipped>
   nuget restore
   This folder contains more than one solution file.
   Command exited with code 1

   :) this comes from "nuget restore"

   Should be:

   nuget restore <solution>

   Woot! of course!

   Q: can i use environment variables here?

   eg
   

   environment:
     solutionFile: XWing.sln
   
   
   
   
   before_build:
     - nuget restore $(solutionFile)
   ....
   
   
   
   
   I tried that and it failed:
   

   nuget restore $(solutionFile)
   Cannot locate a solution file.

   
   
   
   for people searching via google:
   
   
   
   
   

   • nuget restore <YourSolution.sln>`

   
   
   
   nuget restore CLI

   Nope, variables are not supported in project though for nuget restore you can use them as nuget restore %solutionFile%

   Ok. nuget restore %solutionFile% worked :)

   um - how did that work? what is %xxxx%? Can i do that in other places? Is that some generic dos environment thingy?

   Because nuget restore %solutionFile% is just a shell command while syntax $(something) in other parts is processed by build agent.

   I agree adding variables support to "project" would be really nice.
