appveyor.yml is not executed

[ibardarov-fms]

I want to run a build locally on my machine. I have installed a blank new server. Created a new project, and added a local path as git source. Environment -> Build cloud -> Process

I have tried with empty appveyor.yml and the project appveyor.yml but I constantly get some error message which doesn't make any sense to me.

Build started
git clone -q --branch=MC-399-some-ticket-description file:///home/guda/projects/someproject /tmp/z-y21tojlkqjuw48qd
Running "build" phase
The build phase is set to "MSBuild" mode (default), but no Visual Studio project or solution files were found in the root directory. If you are not building Visual Studio project switch build mode to "Script" and provide your custom build command.
Running "test" phase
Build completed

If I change the run mode to script and use only ls -la, the I can see that the appveyor.yml is there.

sample appveyor.yml

image:
  - Ubuntu
build_script:
  - pwsh: ./Publish-App.ps1

What am I doing wrong?

Yep, appveyor.yml are not working with regular Git repositories. However, you can host appveyor.yml somewhere, for example GitHub gists and then paste a URL to a raw content to "Custom configuration .yml file name" field on General project settings.

It worked. Thanks!

I have run a local http server in my project home folder.
