Suggestion: Add AppVeyor test suite to check for Windows support

[swernerx]

I am the author of asset hash where I chose metrohash as the default hashing algorithm. Right now I experience some issues in my package as it does not seem to correctly compile on appveyor. This seems to be related to Metrohash. This is the output I am currently seeing:

..\src\metrohash128crc.cpp(55): error C3861: '_mm_crc32_u64': identifier not found [C:\projects\rollup-plugin-rebase\node_modules\metrohash\build\metrohash.vcxproj]
...

Full log output: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/swernerx/rollup-plugin-rebase/build/136/job/rw5qlf48amcmb9s9

Do have any hint of fixing this? Would it be feasible for you to add appveyor testing?

A good initial appveyor.yml could be this one:

# http://www.appveyor.com/docs/appveyor-yml

clone_depth: 10

environment:
  matrix:
    - nodejs_version: 6
    - nodejs_version: 8
    - nodejs_version: 10

version: "{build}"
build: off
deploy: off

install:
  - ps: Install-Product node $env:nodejs_version
  - npm install

test_script:
  - npm test

cache:
  # global npm cache
  - '%APPDATA%\npm-cache'

_mm_crc32_u64 is an SSE4 instruction for 64-bit environments.

If I understand the log output correctly, the tests are using a 32-bit Node.js version, which is causing the error.

There's some info about how to install a 64-bit version of Node using AppVeyor here: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/lang/nodejs-iojs/#selecting-nodejs-or-iojs-version

It looks like you have to install the 64-bit versions explicitly:

install:
  - ps: Install-Product node $env:nodejs_version x64

Let me know if that solves your problem, in which case I'm happy to add AppVeyor support.

Thanks for the quick reply! This indeed seems to be the cause.

Looks good now: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/swernerx/asset-hash/build/45

This is the config I am using right now:

clone_depth: 10

environment:
  matrix:
    - nodejs_version: 6
    - nodejs_version: 8
    - nodejs_version: 10

matrix:
  fast_finish: true

platform:
  - x64

version: "{build}"
build: off
deploy: off

install:
  - ps: Install-Product node $env:nodejs_version $env:platform
  - npm install

test_script:
  - npm test

cache:
  # global npm cache
  - '%APPDATA%\npm-cache'

Awesome, thanks for testing! I'll try to add support for it ASAP.

Just pushed metrohash@2.4.2 with AppVeyor support.

Thanks!
