Builds queueing and not completing.
The builds for project "OpenMDAO" are being triggered properly,
but are happening only serially, and timing out after forty
minutes.
After looking at the logs, it appears to hang on acquiring
miniconda. However, the file at the URL used here is easily
downloadable, so it doesn't seem like the download is the problem?
I don't see a system-wide outage message for Appveyor, either.
Pasting the short log file so you could have a look:
Build started ECHO %PYTHON% 2.7 if($env:PYTHON -eq "2.7"
-and $env:Platform -eq "x64"){Start-FileDownload
'http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe'
C:\Miniconda.exe; echo "Done"} if($env:PYTHON -eq "2.7" -and
$env:Platform -eq "x86"){Start-FileDownload
'http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda-latest-Windows-x86.exe'
C:\Miniconda.exe; echo "Done"} Done if($env:PYTHON -eq "3.4" -and
$env:Platform -eq "x64"){Start-FileDownload
'http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe'
C:\Miniconda.exe; echo "Done"} if($env:PYTHON -eq "3.4" -and
$env:Platform -eq "x86"){Start-FileDownload
'http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86.exe'
C:\Miniconda.exe; echo "Done"} C:\Miniconda.exe /S
/D=C:\Miniconda

Hi Keith,
All versions of Miniconda have been pre-installed on build workers: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/359 - you don't have to install it anymore. Most probably it hangs trying to install on top of it.
Regarding build queue - there is only one concurrent job is allowed for your plan thus all build jobs run sequentially.

Ah, thanks, that will probably do it.
Regarding build queue: duh. I spaced out and was confusing your service with Travis. My bad.
Many thanks for the help, Feodor! I've been gone for a week and missed that change!

That did do it. Everything working now. I don't see a way to close the discussion or accept your answer, but consider this thread closed. Thanks again!
