I am trying to pair a specific solution configuration with a specific image:

• Visual Studio 2019 -> ReleaseCI configuration
• Visual Studio 2017 -> ReleaseCI2017 configuration

I've written the following in my appveyor.yml:

image:
  - Visual Studio 2017
  - Visual Studio 2019

for:
- 
  matrix:
    only:
      - image: Visual Studio 2019
    
  configuration: ReleaseCI

- 
  matrix:
    only:
      - image: Visual Studio 2017
    
  configuration: ReleaseCI2017

but Appveyor still tries to build the solution's Debug configuration. How can I fix this?

   It will work as you expect if you use environment variables like this...

   for:
   - 
     matrix:
       only:
         - image: Visual Studio 2019
       
     environment:
       configuration: ReleaseCI
   
   - 
     matrix:
       only:
         - image: Visual Studio 2017
       
     environment:
       configuration: ReleaseCI2017
