Hello,
In the last two commits of our project, the AppVeyor tests work perfectly for Linux and Windows. However, for macOS, nothing happens (the tests don't even seem to start - https://ci.appveyor.com/project/populse/populse-mia/builds/53336482 ). After trying to fix it, I still don't understand what's going on. Could you please help me? Here's what I see for the events:
