I'm trying do set the version in my appveyor.yml file, but fails validation

version: {build}

or a semver compliment one...

version: {build}.0.0

whenever the first valud of the version is {build} it fails validation.

We do this for our development code. We don't care about sem ver, for that and these are not nuget packages, but websites.

BUT, when i set the value via the AV UI, it works fine.

Not sure if this is a bug in the validator?

   It should be:

   version: '{build}.0.0'

   Ah! your answer was to use single quotes around the value! ah! doh!!

   is there any difference when i use single quotes vs double quotes?

   eg. i have this in my appveyor.yml file (can't remember where I copied it from)..

     patch: true
     file: AssemblyInfo.*
     assembly_version: "{version}"
     assembly_file_version: "{version}"
     assembly_informational_version: "{version}"
   <pre><code>
   notice how i'm using `double quotes` in this case? is there a difference?</code>
   </pre>

   AH! sweet. ta.

   i thought your yaml parser might have been custom --- but based on you linking to that SO post, i can use either (and also, why use either/or).

   cheers!! much appreciated :)
