Hi,

I added .remove_files for a web app-veyor client deployment project and when run, it just delete all the file in the directory but doesn't put new ones in. The blue console display screen only list the files being deleted but not any new ones being copied to the directory.

Setting .remove_files to false gives proper deployment behavior (but directory didn't get clear out before deployment).

Let me know if you need anything from me. Sorry i wasn't able to take a screen capture of the blue logging screen.

    OK, let's see.

    If .remove_files is not specified it's false by default, so whenever you specify it explicitly it makes sense to set it to true only.

    When .remove_files is set to false AppVeyor enables DoNotDeleteRule (analogue to command line -enableRule:DoNotDeleteRule) which means "leave extra files on destination". This is default behavior.

    When you set .remove_files to true the rule is not enabled and all files that are not in package should be removed from destination.

    What's your goal?
