Test script fails and doesn't move forward with upload

From the docs, it says I can upload a script (http://www.appveyor.com/docs/running-tests) with test results.

However, when running a script, if the tests fail, the whole thing stops and nothing is uploaded:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ferventcoder/chocolatey/build/1.0.17

Note that the script (set to powershell) contains:

$chocoDir = $env:ChocolateyInstall
if(!$chocoDir){$chocoDir="$env:SystemDrive\chocolatey"}
$pesterDir = (dir $chocoDir\lib\Pester*)
if($pesterDir.length -gt 0) {$pesterDir = $pesterDir[-1]}

Write-Host "Pester is located at $pesterDir"

$args="."
Import-Module "$pesterDir\tools\Pester.psm1";
Invoke-Pester -OutputXml Test.xml -EnableExit $args
$testsPassed = $?
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10666035/powershell-difference-between-and-lastexitcode

# upload results to AppVeyor
$wc = New-Object 'System.Net.WebClient'
$wc.UploadFile("https://ci.appveyor.com/api/testresults/nunit/$($env:APPVEYOR_JOB_ID)", (Resolve-Path .\test.xml))

if (! $testsPassed) {
 exit 1;
}

   I think this might have to do with setting -EnableExit http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/problems/558-setting-exit-code...

   That way the script can move forward.

   Well, yeah, but in general I could see the issue with other applications. I think more general and nicer solution to the problem will be adding "On build complete script" section.

   Will add that into today's update.

   Update deployed. There is a new "On build finish script" block that runs before finishing build whether it's successful of failed.

   In appveyor.yml it's:

   on_finish:
     - my script

   I'm guessing this is not available in the UI yet.

   Also, it would be wicked if I could finish setting up everything in the UI and then export my settings as an appveyor.yml file. I'll start a new discussion on that.

   I see the on build finish in the UI, just want to verify that it happens AFTER the test scripts have run? In the UI it's a bit confusing as it looks like it happens earlier in the pipeline (during the compile phase).

   It went in the correct order, so awesome!
