Hey.

I am thinking of having the first job to build the module (PowerShell - using invoke-Build) and having all other jobs not build it - but use the result of the first job.
I am considering using the Push-AppveyorArtifact command (where is this documented, btw? I am interested if it takes a pipeline) and have all other jobs download the artefacts (using the REST API).

Is there an easy way to do this?

   Sounds like a reasonable plan, though i'm not sure there is any 'easier way' than what you described.

   I believe that Push-AppveyorArtifact accepts pipeline input by value but not by property.
   You can see examples of that here in the docs.

   I saw that docs page. I was hoping to see the Get-Help of the command without having to stop a build and RDP into the machine.

   Is there an Appveyor cmdlet for downloading artifacts?

   This (which is also linked to from previous link) is the closest to Get-Help available.

   And from the api docs you'll find two examples for downloading artifacts.

   There is no built in cmdlet yet but it is something that is being worked on as part of some other improvements.
