AppVeyor provides build worker images for windows, linux and macos to run unit tests.

So we can use the same appveyor.yml to control builds running on both these OS.

We can distinguish between windows and linux platforms by using few possibilities, as variables ($isLinux, $isWindows, APPVEYOR_YML_DISABLE_PS_LINUX) or prefix commands ( sh:, cmd:).

What can we use to distinguish beetween linux and macos ?

   Maybe like this:

       platform=$(uname -s)
       if [[ $platform == Darwin ]]; then
           echo "it's macOS"
       elif [[ $platform == Linux ]]; then
           echo "it's Linux"
       else

   Thank you for your help.Yes it is a solution, using shell commands.Initially, I was wondering if there is a solution provided by the appveyor build (like the variables provided to discern between windows and linux). This does not seem to be the case.So I think to use a solution like the one you propose.Thanks again!
