![]() ![]() Do not use tabs to indent configuration sections. YAML format is sensitive to indentations that must be spaces. ![]() While working with YAML there are few important points to be aware of: If you are using any other git source control provider, you will need to use Alternative YAML file location described above. At the moment those supported are: GitHub (hosted and on-premise), Bitbucket (hosted and on-premise), GitLab (hosted and on-premise), Azure DevOps, Kiln and Gitea. Generic git does not have an option to check out an individual file, therefore we are using the APIs of source control providers who support this directly (like “Get contents” from GitHub). At that moment AppVeyor only needs the content of that one configuration file and so a full clone would be too expensive on central servers which are scheduling thousands of builds. This happens on central servers (not build workers) before any git clone happens. Generic Git repositories and YAMLĪppveyor attempts to acquire appveyor.yml (or custom YAML name) from the repository before starting the build. Needless to say that secure variables should be used for secrets in YAML file. After that place URL to YAML file to Custom configuration. However better option is to use to GitHub gist raw file, and take advantage of keeping file change history on GitHub. txt extension for it to get correct content type. For that place YAML file as a plain text (Content-Type: text/plain) and anonymously accessible at some HTTP (or HTTPS) location. It is possible to keep YAML file outside of repository. Another custom name like experimental.yml is also possible, and can be specified in Custom configuration. Do not build on “Pull request” events YAML file alternative namingĪppVeyor supports dot-file-style YAML named.Enable deployments in Pull Requests (available for private repos).Enable secure variables in Pull Requests from the same repository only.Build timeout for private build cloud, minutes.Those settings are in projects settings General tab. It is possible to have both appveyor.yml and any of those UI setting. They are not exposed with appveyor.yml for security reasons. Some build configuration settings can be configured only with UI. Build version format is taken from UI if it is not set in appveyor.yml.Notification settings defined on UI are getting merged with those ones defined in appveyor.yml.Variable values with the same names are getting overridden with values from UI. Variables defined on UI are getting merged with those ones defined in appveyor.yml. If you have appveyor.yml in your repo it will override all settings made on the UI unless explicitly disabled by Ignore appveyor.yml. It’s always either YAML or UI - the settings from each are not merged. It’s worth noticing that both appveyor.yml and UI configuration are mutually exclusive. Another thing to consider is that when you fork/clone a project with its configuration stored in appveyor.yml, you simply add a new project in AppVeyor referencing repo and you are good to go. On the other hand, YAML may seem more sophisticated and familiar for those coming from a Linux platform. Via the User interface one can control every aspect of the build process without ever touching the repository. At a minimum appveyor.yml is just an empty file.Įach method has pros and cons. Project builds can be configured by either appveyor.yml or on the user interface.Īppveyor.yml is a project configuration file in YAML format that should be placed in the root of your repository. Time limitationsĪll plans have 60 minutes quota per build job. If you need to can forcibly terminate build with failure you can run any command with non-zero exit code, for example exit 1 cmd command or throw PS command. This can be done from any script except Finalize ones ( on_success, on_failure and on_finish). Note that you can forcibly terminate build with success from script with appveyor exit cmd command or Exit-AppVeyorBuild PS command. Finalize both successful and failed builds:.Discover and run tests (or test_script).Setting environment variables in build scriptĮvery build goes through the following steps:.Semantic versioning with version suffixes. ![]()
