Setting exit code to Powershell script does not work

I am using Pester to run unit tests for a few Powershell scripts. I've set up the test script in AppVeyor to be:

Invoke-Pester -EnableExit

It runs correctly, but when any test fails, the build still succeeds.

It seems that Pester uses $host.SetShouldExit() to set the exit code. Was AppVeyor supposed to work with this?

    Hi Alex,

    It's not currently implemented, but I'll look into that.

    We've just deployed an update implementing that. Give it another try and let me know how it goes.

    Hey Feodor, thanks for the quick fix. However, it does not appear to have worked. The build is still green, even though there are failed tests. I have even tried to call $host.SetShouldExit(1) myself to make sure it was not anything related to Pester.
