Testing assembly specification in appveyor.yml seems broken

hey there,

i'm trying to run tests for an open source project. i'm using the instructions outline in this page. specifically, i'm using xunit to run my tests and i have just one test assembly. no matter what i do, my logs seem to show show the following:

xunit.console <assembly> /appveyor
The system cannot find the file specified.

(take a look at the builds: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/aoberoi/opentok-net-sdk/history)

i've tried a couple variations on the spec in appveyor.yml, including specifying the assemly name explicitly (OpenTokTest.dll) and using wildcards to get it implicitly ('**/*.Test.dll'). no luck so far. is there something you can tell me i might be doing wrong?

   When you call xunit.console it assumes you should replace <assembly> with a full path to the assembly, kind of:

   xunit.console path\to\my\test\assembly.dll /appveyor

   Otherwise try using "Auto" mode with autodiscovery.

   Thanks, its working now.

   Please consider clarifying this in the documentation. It seemed as though the test > assemblies section was defining a matrix of test configurations and that the was a placeholder for the system to substitute each assembly into while running all the configurations.
