Why can't PowerShell match $env:image in AppVeyor?
I'm trying to integrate CMake builds into AppVeyor. Our project is Visual Studio based for Windows, but we try to support CMake for users who prefer it.
Our .appveyor.yml script is shown below (and available online). The problem is, PowerShell does not match $env:image and eventually the else is executed. The else is a MSBuild path, and not a CMake path.
The result is shown in the image (and available online). In the image below, notice the Visual Studio, MSBuild on line 107. That's echo'd from the script.
I also checked-in a try with $image -eq "Visual Studio 2017", too. But still no match.
I could be doing something awfully wrong. I'm not an AppVeyor expert, and today is my first day of PowerShell scripting (though I have scripting experience in other environments).
Why can't PowerShell match $env:image in AppVeyor?

image is not environment variable, but only YAML tag, which understood by AppVeyor. List of environment variables are here: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/environment-variables/.
What you are looking for is APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE. Note that this variable is "double edged". You can use it just to display current image, but also you can use it to set image in build matrix (it is useful when you have tricky combinations of images and other variables).
