We need to be able to see the screenshots of our failing acceptance tests. How can we achieve that ? Should we use Appveyor Artifacts?

   Sure, this is how you can generate screenshot: https://github.com/FeodorFitsner/selenium-tests/blob/master/Seleniu...

   and YML settings to collect produced images: https://github.com/FeodorFitsner/selenium-tests/blob/master/appveyo...

   I tried it without the Yml but from the Appveyor UI without success.

   Ok I got it work but the thing is, it only works is the tests pass. *

   * there could be a logic behind this.

   But I would like to get my artifacts even though the tests are failing.

   I am getting "The build job does not contain any artifacts." when the tests fail.

   The thing is I need the screenshots when the tests fail.

   You can collect artifacts using script on "On build finish script" (General tab of project settings) on in YAML:

   on_finish:
     - ps: Push-AppveyorArtifact <path-to-png>
   

   Take a look at some examples how to push a list of files: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/packaging-artifacts

   > The thing is I would like to collect the artifacts after the failure. I added after the failure but I can not see the artifacts.*

   *I need to artifacts to debug the system.

   You don't get artifacts because they are probably not in build root folder. Add -Recurse:

   on_finish:
   - ps: Get-ChildItem .\*.png -Recurse | % { Push-AppveyorArtifact $_.FullName -FileName $_.Name }
   

   Results with artifacts uploaded: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/selenium-tests/build/...
