Missing test dll does not fail build

In this case I mistyped the path to the assembly containing my tests in appveyor.yml
I would have expected the build to fail as it could not run the tests but instead it just said it couldn't find the file and moved on successfully. Is this the expected behavior? Is there an option somewhere to fail build when a test dll can't be found?

    Sorry we do not have option and I do not see if we can safely add this in our current design. We do not always expect this to be specific path. This also can be just assembly name or wildcard mask (https://www.appveyor.com/docs/running-tests/#selecting-assemblies-a...). So this is other way around - we do recursive search for all given patterns (including specific paths and other not so specific things) inside build folder and run tests against what we found.
