Here is my .appveyor.yml
https://github.com/nanodbc/nanodbc/blob/7f5bff212bcdcc1ec9b8068ffa9...

with the following section:

skip_commits:
  files:
    - '*file'
    - '*lint.*'
    - .github/**/*
    - doc/**/*
    - website/**/*

AFAICT, AppVeyor builds every commit that touches any file inside .github/ folder.

I'm wondering if any of this matters:

• I use dot-appveyor.yml, not just appveyor.yml
• perhaps .github/**/* pattern should read '.github/**/**'

   .github/**/* is the correct pattern. Could you drop me a link to a build that passed that filter?

   Hmm, I think I have misinterpreted the problem, but there seem to be a problem:

   Commits with the filtered files touched that are pushed to the main branch are skipped, e.g. this one https://github.com/nanodbc/nanodbc/commit/324c415bde9b6f03e732aff5f...

   Commits pushed to a topic branch and submitted via pull request are also skipped, e.g. no build at https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nanodbc/nanodbc/history for https://github.com/nanodbc/nanodbc/pull/316 and there also is 'skipped' event the 'virtual' Merge 04cca09 into 324c415 commit for the PR https://github.com/nanodbc/nanodbc/commit/f6a7ba31

   But, for some reason, the GitHub PR checks status is not being updated correctly and is hanging with
   

   continuous-integration/appveyor/pr Expected — Waiting for status to be reported

   @Feodor, did my update to the issue help? Would you have any news on that?
