How can I change current directory?
Example:

echo %CD%
C:\projects\appveyor-test
cd _builds
echo %CD%
C:\projects\appveyor-test

   Try selecting "PS" when configuring script. The main build session is PowerShell session, but "CMD" scripts run as a separate batches that do not affect "parent" session.

   Now I can't find my build logs (: I only see error message 'Specify a project or solution file. The directory does not contain a project or solution file' but I have both 'build_script' and 'test_script' as custom steps.

   Are you configuring project through appveyor.yml? Can you post it?

   Sure:

   build_script:
     - echo %CD%
     - mkdir foo
     - echo %CD%
     - ps: cd foo
     - echo %CD%
     - cmake -H. -B_builds
     - cmake --build _builds
   
   test_script:
     - echo %CD%
     - ps: cd _builds
     - echo %CD%
     - ctest -VV
     - echo %CD%
   

   BTW the whole project:
   https://github.com/forexample/appveyor-test

   Hm, I thought it's AppVeyor 2.0 beta. appveyor.yml is supported in beta only: blog.appveyor.com/2014/02/19/appveyor-20-dedicated-build-vms-parallel-testing-nuget-deployment/

   Could you please try running your project on beta?

   Hah (: Didn't notice that, sorry.

   'cd' with 'ps' works fine. Thank you!
