I have some tests that may fail/segfault, which causes a build failure:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/acgetchell/cdt-test/builds/28271980...

Is there a way to run make --build . --target test such that errors or segfaults don't cause a build failure?

   N.B. I've tried on_success and on_finish.

   In Travis-CI, after_success allows this functionality.

   Right, in AppVeyor failing command in on_success fails the build.

   However, you may try something like make --build . --target test & exit 0 or run it as PowerShell: - ps: make --build . --target test.

   Great, thanks! make --build . --target test & exit 0 worked!

   Powershell still failed the build.

   OK, nice. Most probably PowerShell was failing because the process was writing to StdErr which is interpreted by PS as an exception.
