xunit tests failing to connect to Azure
I have some unit tests, using xunit.dnx runner, which do some work on DocumentDb on Azure.
I see the test assembly is found, when running as part of my Appveyor build, and I can see on our logs (sent to Logentries) that it gets to the point of doing a query on DocumentDb and then hangs.
It's using HTTPS to talk to DocumentDb by default, and I'm wondering if there's some limitation of the build server image to talk to external services like this?
Thanks,
Kirk

There are no limitations. AppVeyor cloud service, build cache are in Azure and build workers can connect to them. Also, many customers run tests against Azure SQL Databases.
Are there any firewall settings on DocumentDB, like Azure SQL firewall?

Good to know, thanks. It may be how these tests are running. I had to workaround an issue with xunit fixtures getting initialized on multiple threads (when running in VS).
I'll test this further locally via command line to 'dnx test'.
Just wanted to doublecheck it wasn't anything build-server related.
Thanks,
Kirk
