We are using a remote webdriver to simply the acceptance test running environment.

How could we get artifacts from the remotewebdriver even in the case of failure? As we want to debug the acceptance tests easily.

Our code;

using System;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;

namespace Acceptance_Test.Tools
{
    public static class Config
    {
        public static TimeSpan WaitSeconds = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20);
        public static IWebDriver DefaultDriver
        {
            get
            {
                var caps = DesiredCapabilities.Firefox();

                caps.SetCapability("browserstack.debug", "true");
                caps.SetCapability("browserstack.user", "xxxxx");
                caps.SetCapability("browserstack.key", "yyyyyyyyyyyy");

                caps.SetCapability("browser", "Firefox");
                caps.SetCapability("browser_version", "32.0");
                caps.SetCapability("os", "Windows");
                caps.SetCapability("os_version", "8.1");
                caps.SetCapability("resolution", "1024x768");

                IWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://hub.browserstack.com/wd/hub/"), caps);
      
                return driver;
            }
        }
    }
}

   Great resource I will try that.

   But the question remains how can I put those results to the Appveyor artifacts part when the tests fail?*

   * I would like to see why tests fail in Appveyor UI

   it works :)

   This was great news .

   Now when the systems fail we get a nice screenshot in the artifacts and see why it failed.
