How do you create a project with the webhook url needed to trigger builds from github?

Thanks,
ksb

    Can you clarify what you mean. If you've authorized AppVeyor under Account settings -> Authorizations then adding a new project will add a webhook to the repo.

    I am authorized, but creating a new (AppVeyor) project does not create a new webhook in the corresponding github repo. Nor does the webhook url show up in the AppVeyor project's Setting -> General page (like older projects I had working before show).

    Somehow though, it is working. PRs in the github repo do trigger a new build in AppVeyor. (I discovered this after giving up on AppVeyor and setting things up CircleCI).

    What is the mechanism now used to trigger builds, if not webhooks? I do have AppVeyor installed as a GitHub App in the repo. Does that entirely replace webhooks?

    Yes, with GitHub app a centralized webhook is used instead of specific ones being placed in any added repo.

    Here is the blog post about GH app integration.

    Ok, thanks. That really helps.

    Might I suggest that you try to make that distinction clearer in your intro/getting started docs? I spent the better part of a day flailing around this, only to give up and switch to CircleCi - which then revealed there was some new magic at play.

    The convenience is nice, but the opaqueness makes it difficult to asses the security implications.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Revising the docs are actually somewhat of a top priority at the moment.
