Artifact not deploying

My project, https://ci.appveyor.com/project/bsommardahl/pgci, is building fine but fails to deploy the artifact. I've tried different forms of the artifact path, but it always says the same thing:

...
Packaging artifacts...Done
Uploading artifact build\IvoryTower.Web-1.0.14.zip (2.7 MB)...Done
Deploying using WebDeploy provider
No artifacts were uploaded. Make sure you have specified correct artifacts filter.
Build success

Here's the artifact and deployment section of my appveyor.yml:

artifacts:
  - path: deploy\*.zip

deploy:
  - provider: WebDeploy
    server: https://waws-prod-blu-017.publish.azurewebsites.windows.net:443/msdeploy.axd?site=something
    website: something
    username: $something
    password: KJHKLJHKLHKLHJK77657jJHGKJHG
    ntlm: false
    artifact: deploy\*.zip

What do you think I'm doing wrong?

   I'd give artifact a "deployment name:

   artifacts: 
     - path: deploy\*.zip
       name: mypackage
   

   then use it to locate artifact:

   deploy: 
     - provider: WebDeploy 
       ...
       artifact: mypackage

   YES, that was it. Thanks. I'm not sure how I missed that in the documentation. There seem to be a lot of appveyor.yml files in public github repos that are doing it wrong. I was using those as examples.

   Hi Feodor

   I'm currently struggling to understand the deployment logic. I have in the past created a number of trial projects and had them deploying as webapps to azure (a bizspark account). I later had a two project (angular web and webapi) solution which was also deploying fine, two artifcats, to two websites.

   Now, however, the last two days I have been running into issues in that I use a yml file to configure a new test project for a job that is about to start, and try as i might, I cannot get the "deploy" section to be recognised during the build process. I am looking at my "sssmartadmin" project, and no matter what I do, I check in to my Git repo and the build starts, succeeds, but I see no mention of it being aware of the WebDeploy section of my yaml config? I've attached two files, one from a project I finally got to deploy yesterday (but dont really know why) and the one from today which is based on it, but doesnt work at all (note, I CAN manually deploy to my azure site and it works fine)

   What do you have in a build log regarding deployment for sssmartadmin.appveyor.notwork.yml?

   Morning mate, see attached... as best i can tell, no mention of bundling or deployment there either.

   Indeed, deployment is not even mentioned in a build log. OK, make sure that appveyor.yml with deploy section exists in feature/Feature-SA1.7Beta branch as AppVeyor reads it from there.

   My sincerest apologies Feodor - i had the appveyor sitting in the PROJECT folder, NOT the repo root, the entire time, but was overlooking this because everything still built (after i played around with creating the build settings in the Web UI I guess). Sorry to have taken up your time.
