"MSBuild" mode (default), but no Visual Studio project
This project passes without issue https://ci.appveyor.com/project/fluiddyn/transonic (mercurial repository from Bitbucket)
But for other project https://ci.appveyor.com/project/paugier/transonic for the same commit (Mercurial repository cloned from https://foss.heptapod.net/fluiddyn/transonic), an error is raised :
"The build phase is set to "MSBuild" mode (default), but no Visual Studio project or solution files were found in the root directory. If you are not building Visual Studio project switch build mode to "Script" and provide your custom build command."
The .appveyor.yml is here https://foss.heptapod.net/fluiddyn/transonic/blob/branch/default/.appveyor.yml

Hi Pierre,
You've added
/paugier/transonicproject as "generic" mercurial repository in which caseappveyor.ymlis not supported (there is no way to fetch a single file from HG repo without cloning entire repo).Re-create the project as "Bitbucket" and it will do the trick.

Thank you for your answer.
I won't be able to use Bitbucket soon and the repository in Bitbucket is going to be deleted. Our new repositories are there https://foss.heptapod.net/fluiddyn (same platform as PyPy repos by the way https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy).
That's why I created the project as "generic" mercurial repository.
I don't know if it is possible to fetch one single file from a hg repository, but in this case, the repository is already cloned. The file `appveyor.yml` is just there.
If you really need the file before cloning, could it be possible to provide an address from which it can be obtained? In my case it would be https://foss.heptapod.net/fluiddyn/transonic/raw/branch/default/.appveyor.yml

That's actually great there there is a URL allowing to fetch appveyor.yml. Now you can fo to General tab of project settings and put that URL into
Custom configuration .yml file namefield.Hey, https://foss.heptapod.net/ looks like it's GitLab. You may try configuring it as "GitLab EE" on Add project page.
