I have a simple scenario where I want to deploy to two different locations depending on the commit happening on Dev2_TestApp branch or master

I have the below on my trunk yml configuration.

version: 1.0.{build}
configuration:
- Debug
- QA
- Release
environment:
  deploy_website: true
  site_path: C:\inetpub\API
  apppool_name: API
  site_name: API
  host_name: dev-test.co.uk;dev-test.co.uk
  protocol: http;https
  site_port: 80;443
  certificate: ;*.test.co.uk
  APPVEYOR_WAP_ARTIFACT_NAME: App
before_build:
- cmd: appveyor-retry nuget restore
build:
  publish_wap: true
  publish_nuget: false
deploy:
- provider: Environment
  name: 35.***.***.**
  on:
    configuration: Debug
skip_commits:
  message: /\[Deployed\]/

I want to change the specific configuration for my branch as below,

environment:
  deploy_website: true
  site_path: C:\inetpub\API2
  apppool_name: API2
  site_name: API2
  host_name: dev2-test.co.uk;dev2-test.co.uk
  protocol: http;https
  site_port: 80;443
  certificate: ;*.test.co.uk
  APPVEYOR_WAP_ARTIFACT_NAME: App

I have tried override the environment config on my branch yml file, but it doesnt work for me.

for:

# override settings for `master` branch
-
  branches:
    only:
      - Dev2_TestApp
  environment:
    deploy_website: true
    site_path: C:\inetpub\API2
    apppool_name: API2
    site_name: API2
    host_name: dev2-test.co.uk;dev2-test.co.uk
    protocol: http;https
    site_port: 80;443
    certificate: ;*.test.co.uk
    APPVEYOR_WAP_ARTIFACT_NAME: App

   I just tested this scenario here with a simple example and it seems to be working fine.
   Or perhaps i misunderstood what you are trying to accomplish?

   Hi,
   It doesn't work for me, I'm not quite clear on this.
    branches:
       only:
         - Dev2_TestApp

   or
   branches:
       only:
         - master

   "Dev2_TestApp" - Is this the repository name of the branch ?
   For trunk branch, should I have to mention as "master" ?

   Regards,
   Nelson

   Sorry, I believe I misunderstood your problem.

   I think you have confused the purpose of environment: section in configuration file for deployment environment. The former is just for setting environment variables on the build machine.

   From the looks of your existing config it looks like you are trying to do an agent deployment.

   In that case probably what you want to do is create 2 different environments and then access them with conditional deployment(on.branch construct) in your config file.

   Let me know if this makes sense.

   version: 1.0.{build}
   configuration:
   - Debug
   - QA
   - Release
   before_build:
   - cmd: appveyor-retry nuget restore
   build:
     publish_wap: true
     project: Core.Solution.sln
     publish_nuget: false
   deploy:
   - provider: Environment
     name: 35.xxx.xx.xx
     on:
       branch: Core
       configuration: Debug
       deploy_website: true
       site_path: C:\inetpub\API
       apppool_name: API
       site_name: API
       host_name: dev-test.uk;dev-test.co.uk
       protocol: http;https
       site_port: 80;443
       certificate: ;*.test.co.uk
       APPVEYOR_WAP_ARTIFACT_NAME: App
   - provider: Environment
     name: 35.xxx.xx.xx
     on:
       branch: Core-Dev2
       configuration: Debug
       deploy_website: true
       site_path: C:\inetpub\API2
       apppool_name: API2
       site_name: API2
       host_name: dev2-test.co.uk;dev2-test.co.uk
       protocol: http;https
       site_port: 80;443
       certificate: ;*.test.co.uk
       APPVEYOR_WAP_ARTIFACT_NAME: App
   skip_commits:
     message: /\[Deployed\]/

   All the settings you have under deploy.on key like these ...

   
       deploy_website: true 
       site_path: C:\inetpub\API 
       apppool_name: API 
       site_name: API 
       host_name: dev-test.uk;dev-test.co.uk 
       protocol: http;https 
       site_port: 80;443 
       certificate: ;*.test.co.uk 
       APPVEYOR_WAP_ARTIFACT_NAME: App
   

   ...should be put in the deployment environment you create when you go to https://ci.appveyor.com/environments/new and create a new AppVeyor agent deployment environment. You make different settings for each environment as described here.
