Hi
why the command "cl" in Appveyor powershell pops up an exception as below while in powershell on my PC, no exception is throw?
usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]
cl : Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 18.00.40629 for x86
At line:20 char:3

You run it as PowerShell script (not CMD) and it looks like that command writes to StdErr which is interpreted by PowerShell as exception.

That's not exactly the point. I run cl under PS on my PC and there is no error as show below

Try running it in PowerShell ISE

Do you mean AppVeyor jobs are run in the Powershel ISE context?

No, but my guess is that treating StdErr depends on PowerShell host.
