The tests are now successful (apart from the AppVeyor one, but it is not passing because of a missing package). Should I submit a new pull request with a cleaner commit history and close this one ?

@LeCodeurDuDimanche awesome! :tada: :balloon: don't worry about AppVeyor, probably that package was renamed, i gotta sort that out. No need to clean up the commit history, I'll try to set aside some time this weekend to play around with your changes. Thank you so much for addressing that issue, it was sitting there for almost one year. Let's hope I don't take another year to merge your PR :rofl: :heart: :green_heart: :yellow_heart: :blue_heart: :purple_heart: :black_heart:
