Hello,

my appveyor.yml is ignored. This seems to be a bug: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tim-lebedkov/windows-package-manager-npackd-cpp-4v6pl

   Hi Tim,

   That's correct - in "generic" Git and Mercurial provider implementation appveyor.yml is not supported. There is no way to read it from remote repo before the build starts.

   However, there is an option to pass it along with webhook payload (if you could setup post-receive server hook), but I'm not sure this is supported by Google Code.

   Do you plan to change this? For me this looks like a bug.

   Can you elaborate on this? We are using Git deployment. We exported our current settings into an appveyor.yml file that we placed in the root of our project but it does not seem to be read.

   If should setup POST RECEIVE hook in your repository to call AppVeyor webhook URL. There is a sample hook in Ruby: https://github.com/appveyor/webhooks

   Webhook payload should be like: https://gist.github.com/FeodorFitsner/c1056be9152402918874

   Uhm, not sure I understand what to do about this issue. We have a lot of projects that should be using the same appveyor.yml file. So this is a central feature for us.

   We have all our projects on Bitbucket (in Hg/Mercurial), and I can see some sort of webhook has already been added to the project config on Bitbucket after I've added some of the projects to AppVeyor.

   So what should I do to make AppVeyor use the appveyor.yml file for project settings (the file is added to the root of the repo) ??

   Hi Steen,

   What is the project/repo name you are having problems with?

   1. Make sure file name is exactly appveyor.yml (all lowercase).
      
   2. appveyor.yml should exist in branch you are building.

   Hi Feodor,

   the repo I'm trying to get to work atm, is from Bitbucket and the repo name is illumi.toolbox.ssn
   And.. I need to be better at spelling I guess, now it seems like it picked up the appveyor file, but for some reason it didn't push the package. But that's another problem for another day!

   Thank you,
   Steen

   OK, that's great appveyor.yml works there. Let me know what problem you have with pushing artifacts.

    I have this in my yml file:

    build:
      project: illumi.toolbox.ssn.sln
      publish_nuget: true
      verbosity: minimal

    But when I build, there no "nuget pack" command in the log.

    Have I missed something? There's a Illumi.Toolbox.SSN.nuspec file in the src folder.

    Thanks,
    Steen

    To have automatic packaging of nuget the file Illumi.Toolbox.SSN.nuspec should be in project folder and has the same name as project, i.e. if project name is Illumi.Toolbox.SSN.csproj it should work.

    Ah, well, that makes sense, and should fix my problem!

    Thank you for the quick replay.
