I have an npm assets project that doesn't require a build. I'm attempting to have the master branch auto update the version via npm, commit that back to GitHub and also publish to npm.

I've gone through a dozen iterations of the script below.

When I hard code the npm version %version% to a specific number that works, but without it, it does not change the version and the npm push fails due to "not being able to overwrite previous versions" (https://ci.appveyor.com/project/geobmx540/twoeightycap-web-library-...)

I don't understand why "Echo is off" or how to turn that on. (doesn't really matter except when I try to print out the version variable)

Git push doesn't work - " git push origin HEAD:"

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/geobmx540/twoeightycap-web-library-...

version: 1.0.{build}

environment:
  access_token:
    secure: ...
build: off
skip_commits:
  message: /^v(\.?[0-9]+)+$/g       # Regex for matching version commit messages
branches: 
  only: 
    - master
on_finish: 
  - git config --global credential.helper store
  - ps: Add-Content "$env:USERPROFILE\.git-credentials" "https://$($env:access_token):x-oauth-basic@github.com`n"
  - cmd: echo %version%
  - git push
  - npm version %version% -m 'v%version%'
  - npm publish

Hello,

I am not sure I understand where value of %version% variable should come from? I do not see it is being set anywhere in your YAML configuration and also it is not any of standard or Appveyor build worker environment variables. ECHO is off returned because %version% is empty. Did you intend you use %APPVEYOR_BUILD_VERSION%?

Hey ilya -

I've seen %version% all over the place and I thought it was set on the first line. I gave it a shot and that worked, also you're right on the ECHO issue.

The git issue was a non-issue..

Thanks, silly issue on my end.
