Deployment isn't triggering

Hello,

I have a PowerShell project with a deploy.ps1 script and appveyor.yml, both in the root. The deploy.ps1 script is not getting executed, however.

Being a PowerShell script module, there is no "build" or "artifacts" to speak of. However, during the deploy phase, I would like to publish the PowerShell module to the PowerShell Gallery (powershellgallery.com), so that users can use Find-Module to locate it. I am using the Unstable AppVeyor OS image, which includes PowerShell 5.0 April 2015 Preview, which contains the PowerShellGet module that allows me to use the Publish-Module command to publish to the gallery.

I have tried many, many variations of the YAML file, and nothing seems to work. How do I make sure that deploy.ps1 is executed, even though I don't have a "build" or any "artifacts?"

Cheers,

   deploy.ps1 is to use along with Deployment Agent.

   Seems like you just need to call it directly like:

   deploy_script:
   - ps: .\deploy.ps1
