Hi, also thanks Tuukka, who include an appveyor.yml file in the reviewCursorCopier add-on.
As the --egg flag is deprecated, I found this and modified slightly your appveyor.yml file to install scons:

https://github.com/anholt/mesa/blob/master/appveyor.yml

I think we should include these two pages in references, and a section with aknowledgements to Derek, Tuukka and you (Abdel).

I will do it later or tomorrow.

Cheers

Hi Noelia,

Thank you very much.

I just read the page, I think it describes well the concept of using the Appveyor tool in creating and updating add-on.

Thanks to Derek for being the first person to tell us about this fabulous tool on the nvda-addons mailing list.

When using the appveyor.yml example provided in Derek's nvda-notepadPlusPlus repository, I could not upload the add-on to Github after build.

That's why I inquired about the Appveyor forum and got the following answer:

I think that Derek was the first person on the add-ons list to suggest

wouldn't provide too much benefit, but especially if we mantain
various add-ons, even from different computers, where we perhaps don't
have the necessary dependencies installed, is really useful.
I will upload the appveyor file with the explanation when I can,
perhaps the next weekend, if nobody can do it befor.

Hi Noelia,

Thanks.

I agree.

For the instructions of use of the Appveyor service, for those who
start, I think it would be also interesting to add a small explanation
in the Wiki, as well as on the obtaining of a personal token for the use
of the Github API.

A link to the Github help page for example.

Otherwise, the version of Python used in the appveyor.yml file is 2.7 32
bits, but it is not really useful to adapt it for Python 3, since the
goal is just to build the add-on.

Cheers,
Abdel.

Hi:

I've seen that several authors have included an appveyor.yml file in
their repos. Personally, I failed to do this until I found Abdels
configuration file. I use it for several add-ons and it's comfortable
for me when posting releases.
Should we upload it to the nvdaaddons organization, like Addons
Wizzard, Potluck or Addon Template?
It could be just a gist instead of a full repo. If so, I will do it
during this week, if Abdel agrees and people is interested.
Comments are appreciated

Hi Noelia,

Thanks.

You're right, the --egg option is deprecated, it was used in the Tuukka and Derek examples too.

In the example of Tuukka, there is another mistake.

He uses the branch section and the appveyor_repo_tag environment variable that are incompatible with each other.

We can use either one or the other, but not both at the same time.

Cheers,
Abdel.

Hi Derek,

Interesting question.

In fact, according to this article in the Appveyor documentation, the branch section and the tag are mutually exclusive.

We can use either one or the other, but not both at the same time.

If we want to have them in the same configuration file, we have to put a condition.

In the example of Tuukka, he put both of them unconditionally.

Here is the paragraph that talks about this in the documentation:

However please note that branch and appveyor_repo_tag are mutually exclusive. This is because in case of tag, it replaces branch in webhook content and there are no practically reliable way to recognize from what branch tag was created. Therefore with this setting deployment will happen only for master branch:
- provider: Environment
  name: production
  on:
    branch: master # only this will work
    appveyor_repo_tag: true # condition will never be evaluated
So if you need to deploy on both branch and tag, please create two provider sections under deploy like this:
deploy:
  - provider: Environment
    name: production
    on:
      branch: master

  - provider: Environment
    name: production
    on:
      appveyor_repo_tag: true

skip_tags: true

Thanks.

Cheers,
Abdel.

Wait, how come? Doesn't branch take on the name of the tag if it's a tag?

Actually, I wrote that code, we coauthored the notepad-++ addon together. Yeah, that's a problem.
