I have a remote bitbucket mercurial repository on which I would like to push if the appveyor build succeed.

I understand how the keyword on_success works but not how to push on this bitbucket repository. I read some thread about login into a git repository and I would like to the same for mercurial repository.

Thank you for your help.

   Hello,

   Here is what I tried on my lab and it seems to work:

   1. Remove Appveyor deployment key from https://bitbucket.org///admin/deploy-keys/
      
   2. Copy this key content from https://ci.appveyor.com/project///settings > SSH public key
      
   3. Add new key in https://bitbucket.org/account/user//ssh-keys/ and paste content copied before

   Points 1 – 3 needed to allow appveyor to push, as by default SSH key used is deployment key which has read-only permissions.

   1. Add the following to appveyor.yml (you can do on_success if you need):

   on_finish:
   # add username to mercurial settings
     - echo [ui] > C:\Users\appveyor\mercurial.ini
     - echo username = <your_account_name> >> C:\Users\appveyor\mercurial.ini
   
   # create sample change, commit commit and push. Note that [skip ci] in commit message to avoid recurcive builds start
     - echo a > myfile2.txt
     - hg status
     - hg add myfile2.txt
     - hg status
     - hg commit -m "Added one file [skip ci]"
     - hg status
     - hg push
   

   This assumes that is the same on BitBucket and AppVeyor. Please replace accordingly if it different.

   Thank you for your answer.

   I understand what you propose. However, I do not find the SSH public key in appveyor... My project is public, so it seems Appveyor do not need a ssh key to clone the repository.

   Where can I find or create one for Appveyor? Maybe I can create a public and private key and copy them during the install part of the build.

   This is what works for me with public project. I took hint from here

   environment:
     bbpwd:
       secure: <encrypted_bitBucket_password>
    
   on_finish:  
     - echo [ui] > C:\Users\appveyor\mercurial.ini
     
   # note that I was needed to use email I use for BB login, not name I see in BB repo URL
     - echo username = <bitBucket_account_name> >> C:\Users\appveyor\mercurial.ini 
   
     - echo [auth] >> C:\Users\appveyor\mercurial.ini
     - echo bb.prefix = https://bitbucket.org >> C:\Users\appveyor\mercurial.ini
     - echo bb.username = <bitBucket_account_name> >> C:\Users\appveyor\mercurial.ini
     - echo bb.password = %bbpwd% >> C:\Users\appveyor\mercurial.ini
     
     - echo a > myfile.txt
     - hg status
     - hg add myfile.txt
     - hg status
     - hg commit -m "Added one file [skip ci]"
     - hg status
     - hg push
   

   --ilya.
