I am trying to configure to cancel a scheduled build if the Commit ID is equal as the previous build, something similar as the post:
https://help.appveyor.com/discussions/questions/5016-skip-scheduled-build-with-same-commit-id-as-previous-build

but I don't know how to implement it.

I want to define it directly on the UI in the "init script" without the need of calling any external file.

Is there any way to do it?

   What I have configured so far is in AppVeyor UI / Environment / init script:
   

   $headers = @{
     "Authorization" = "Bearer $token"
     "Content-type" = "application/json"
   }
   $apiURL = "$env:APPVEYOR_URL/project/$env:APPVEYOR_ACCOUNT_NAME/$env:APPVEYOR_PROJECT_SLUG"
   $history = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$apiURL/history?recordsNumber=2" -Headers $headers  -Method Get
   Write-host $apiURL
   Write-Host $history.builds.Count
   if ($history.builds.Count -eq 2)
   {
     $CurrentCommitID = $history.builds[0].commitId
     Write-host $CurrentCommitID
     $PreviousCommitID = $history.builds[1].commitId
     Write-host $PreviousCommitID
     $history.builds[1].commitId
     if ($CurrentCommitID -eq $PreviousCommitID)
     {
       Write-host "Current Commit ID is the same as previous, exiting build."
       Exit-AppveyorBuild
     }
   }
   

   defining the AppVeyor Token as a secure variable and the outcome that I get so far is:

   • API URL: http://localhost/project/AppVeyor/appveyor-t2

   • History Build Count: 0

   As History Build Count is 0, it does not enter into the if statement.

   It seems that the history records are not being get properly. Any idea why?
