Hi,

We are developing software that makes use of Service Fabric ( see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-get-started ). In order to run tests against a SF it is very convenient to run a local cluster on the test agent. Setting up a local cluster requires having the Service Fabric SDK installed. It is possible to install it on an appveyor agent, but it takes something like 7 minutes to do so.

Would it be possible to include it in the agent image ( i see you already have the normal Azure SDK for example) ?

   Hi Peter,

   Service Fabric SDK 3.0 (Runtime 6.1) is already installed on build workers: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-environment
   Related issue: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/2058

   Hi Feodor,

   So i tested it now, and i think the upgrade from 2.7 to 3.0 was not clean
   (see https://github.com/Azure/service-fabric-issues/issues/566 )

   If i run:
   ."$ENV:ProgramFiles\Microsoft SDKs\Service
   Fabric\ClusterSetup\DevClusterSetup.ps1"

   It will fail. But if i run
   ."$ENV:ProgramFiles\Microsoft SDKs\Service
   Fabric\ClusterSetup\CleanCluster.ps1"

   first, then it works fine, however that takes additional time.

   I also tried connecting to the cluster immediately without setting anything
   up, but that also doesn't work. Perhaps there is some leftover data from an
   older versions local cluster?

   Hi Peter,

   What build worker image is that: VS 2015 or VS 2017?

   OK, I see. Running CleanCluster.ps1 was necessary before DevClusterSetup.ps1.

   We'll do that cleanup in the image: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/2301
