Project refuses to build as release
I'm having an issue with richardszalay/mockhttp whereby I can't seem to get it to build the solution as Release.
I have:
* Updated all projects to default to Release if $(Configuration) is
not defined * Explicitly specified the configuration as "Release"
and the solution filename in the "Build" tab of the Appveyor
project
No matter what I do, Appveyor never passes in a Configuration to the msbuild command line and the solution always outputs 'Building solution configuration "Debug|Any CPU".'
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard,
It passes
$(configuration)through environment variable when it's set on Build tab of project settings. If the property is not defined on msbuild command line then msbuild is looking for environment variable with the same name first.2 Posted by richard on 25 Jun, 2014 01:18 AM
Hi Feodor,
That sounds logical, but it doesn't seem to apply in practise:
a) I have explicitly specified a Configuration in Appveyor Settings, so I would expect it to be explicitly passed to msbuild
b) If it only sets an environment variable, it should be picked up by my solution (as you say), but it's not.
The project in question is public. Can you take a look? https://ci.appveyor.com/project/richardszalay/mockhttp
Cheers,
Richard

I see. You should add "configuration" into appveyor.yml, UI setting is ignored when yml is used.

That would explain a lot. Thanks!
