Hi,

I am trying to build 2 specific projects from a solution. The solution has

• a shared library
• a unittest project
• a windows forms project

I don't want to waste processing power on the windows forms project. It is for local debugging anyway. I can't exclude it from the buildconfiguration.

So, how can I add multiple projects (or exclude projects) on the build settings?

I have currently this in my opensource YML file:

build:
  project: PAYNLSDK\PayNLSdk.csproj

I would guess that there is an "exclude" or list option. But I can not find any documentation or discussion. To have something like this:

build:
  - project: PAYNLSDK\PayNLSdk.csproj
  - project: PayNLSdk.Tests\PayNLSdk.csproj

Anyone an idea?

Kind regards
Damiaan

   Hi Damiaan,

   Create new configuration and include only required projects in this configuration. Then use AppVeyor builds configuration settings to built this configuration. If you use YAML, it should look like configuration: MyConfig. If you use UI, you can set it in MSBuild tab in Build menu.

   Of course! Thanks a lot Ilya!

   I added an build configuration in Visual studio called "appVeyor" and added

   configuration: AppVeyor
   

   to my YAML.

   For those getting back to this thread, it's an open source project. You can see how we are using GitVersion and (pure) YAML along with a few unit tests here:
