Hi,

Is there a way to skip a scheduled build if the commit id is the same commit id as the previous build?

Thanks,
Manny

   It looks like I can use
   GET /api/projects/{accountName}/{projectSlug} to get the last build in a before_build and cancel the build build with DELETE /api/builds/{accountName}/{projectSlug}/{buildVersion} if the commit id is the same.

   Right, also you can exit build with success with appveyor exit or Exit-AppveyorBuild as described here

   Thanks for the quick response. I'll use those exit commands.

   Any chance you could post the snippet for that before_build script? I'm trying to achieve the same thing and haven't figured a way to do it properly.

   Here you go:

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

   UPDATE: you can add this as early as init stage.
   UPDATE2: $token is AppVeyor API token, add it as a secure variable
