Hopefully this will be my last support request for a bit :) Thanks for all the help.

Using choclaty to install phantomjs which works great. The only problem is I can't seem to get it in the path in such away that our testem test scripts will find it.

If I use SET it returns with an error:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/raytiley/ember-cli/build/14

From the output it looks like choclaty adds it to the path, but using a where doesn't seem to find it.
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/raytiley/ember-cli/build/15

I'm sure I'm just missing something stupid, thanks for the second set of eyes.

   Just update PATH explicitly in your build script using

   SET PATH=c:\some_new_path;%PATH%

   Out of the box, Chocolatey doesn't do any work to reload the PATH variable into the current session. As a result, when you are running Chocolatey in a non-CI environment, the workaround is to close the current window, open it again, and all will be well.

   In a CI environment, that doesn't really fly.

   There is a helper filein Chocolatey, I seem to remember it being called RefreshEnv.bat, that you could look at using, to see if that would help, or, as Feodor has pointed out, manually update the variable.
