Only initiate builds from specific branches

HI

Using Visual Studio 2015 / Bitbucket

We have 2 branches that we need to auto-deploy from: 'staging' and 'master'

We do not want to initiate an appveyor build from any other branch.

We are using the structure below as suggested in https://www.appveyor.com/docs/branches :

-
  branches:
    only:
      - staging
     # build specifics removed for brevity
-
  branches:
    only:
      - master
     # build specifics removed
-
  configuration: Debug

However, if I deploy from a feature/xxx branch this does seem to initiate a build which fails with:

"Specify which project or solution file to use because the folder contains more than one project or solution file."

How can we set up a structure that will only build from 'staging' or 'master'

Regards

Julian

   Hi Julian,

   Last part, e.g

   - 
     configuration: Debug
   

   is default / fallback configuration. You have to remove it for your case.

   Side note: YAML file should have the same content across branches. If you do not like manually synchronizing YAML file content, you can use remote YAML file
