Probably something dumb but hoping someone can help. I cannot get the reference to $configuration below to work I have tried

$(configuration) $(CONFIGURATION) $CONFIGURATION

I am no expert on Powershell interpolation so any help...thanks

configuration: Release

before_build:
  - ps: Import-Module .\tools\psake.psm1

build_script:
  - ps: Invoke-psake .\default.ps1 Compile -parameters @{}

after_build:
  - ps: Push-AppveyorArtifact src\myproject\obj\$configuration\Package\myproject.zip

   Should be:

   after_build:
     - ps: Push-AppveyorArtifact "src\myproject\obj\$env:configuration\Package\myproject.zip"
   

   1 - double quotes to interpolate string and 2 - $env: to access environment variable.

   Firstly, Feodor world class service as usual thank you. Apologies for the daft essentially powershell question.

   I took my lead from http://www.appveyor.com/docs/packaging-artifacts which states

   myproject\bin\$(configuration)\*.dll
   

   given
   

   $artifacts
   

   will give you artifacts I assumed the access method was the same. Might be an opportunity to tweak the documentation or the way my brain is wired up, either will suffice ;)

   Ah, that style is MSBuild-like one.
