uat and production builds

I have 2 projects setup and each of those projects has 2 environments a live and uat. I do run a build then deploy uat that works fine and my config transforms for uat are applied.

For live when i deploy it seems to be picking up the uat artifact and uat configs? I guess I am doing something wrong? My yaml file looks like

#uat configuration
-
  branches:
    only:
      - master
      
  #version format
  version: 1.0.{build}

  configuration: UAT
  
  cache:
    - packages -> **\packages.config
    
  before_build:
    - nuget restore
    - npm install -g grunt-cli
    - cd mysite.Web.UI
    - set PATH=C:\Ruby22\bin;%PATH%
    - gem install compass
    - npm install
    - grunt prod
  
  build:
    publish_wap: true
    project: mysite.sln

  deploy:
    provider: Environment
    name: UAT Main Site
    app_offline: true
    skip_dirs: \\App_Data
       
#live configuration
-
  branches:
     only:
       - master
      
  #version format
  version: 1.0.{build}

  configuration: Live

  cache:
    - packages -> **\packages.config
    
  before_build:
    - nuget restore
    - npm install -g grunt-cli
    - cd mysite.Web.UI
    - set PATH=C:\Ruby22\bin;%PATH%
    - gem install compass
    - npm install
    - grunt prod
  
  build:
    publish_wap: true
    project: mysite.sln

is it because for live i do not have deploy which I run manually?

   I see that you are using conditional build configuration but both conditions are the same.
   i.e.
   

     branches: 
        only: 
          - master
   

   I haven't addressed your deployment problem since this stood out to me first as a possible mistake.

   Owen,
   So I am going to update the uat part to

     branches:
       only:
         - uat

   so it will now use different branch.

   At the project level in settings default branch has been set to master and branches to build has been set to all (nb have inherited this, first time using app veyor, have experience with teamcity and octopus).

   When i run the build which is at project level am i right in assuming it creates the artifact based on master which is default branch. Then when deploy is run for the different environments will it use the yaml file settings to transform for the different environments? Still trying to get my head round how it all ties together.

   Regards

   Ismail

   I'm not exactly sure of your question but you may wan to give this a quick read.
   By project level you mean when you start a build from the UI? If so, yes, default branch will be built, and the part of your config under
   

     branches: 
        only: 
          - master
   

   will be used.

   Owen,

   Ok mystery solved. So first issue was as you rightly pointed out i was looking at wrong branch for uat. The other issue was my bitbucket was missing the webhook url from appveyor. Once i added that any commits to uat and i get auto build and deploy. Commits to master and i get build, deploy is manual as expected.

   Many thanks for your help.

   Regards

   Ismail
