Modify contents of output folder before artifact is packaged
In short, I have a PS script executed after_build which I use to create/modify files in MSBuild's output folder.
However, these files are not included in the resulting artifact. It seems the artifact is created before the after_build event.
I'm copying the new files using PowerShell to the output folder using a path like:
"$env:APPVEYOR_BUILD_FOLDER\name-of-project-built\obj\$env:CONFIGURATION\Package\PackageTmp\
However, since the artifact zip file seems to have already been created at this point, the new files do not appear in it.
Is there a recommended approach to modifying the output of the build before the artifact is created?
Or do I have to add the files manually to the artifact zip file in after_build? I've looked into that, but the $artifacts variable seems to be null in after_build, even though the artifact has obviously been created.
I've also looked at the $artifacts property in before_deploy, but I can't figure out how to resolve the path to the artifact zip in order to be able to add files to it.
Not sure how well I'm phrasing this question... :)

Just noticed there's a before_package event, I'll try that one. :)
Edit: Nope, that does not appear to work. Tried copying to the output directory like before, but the files are still not included in the artifact.
