Unable to deploy artifact from Appveyor to Github

Question

I am getting this message:

"GitHub" deployment has been skipped as environment variable has not matched ("appveyor_repo_tag" is "false", should be "true")

But, as can be seen in my Appveyor.yml:

https://github.com/GrokImageCompression/grok/blob/master/appveyor.yml

appveyor_repo_tag is actually set to true

Answer 1

• remove skip_tags: true
• add tag: $(APPVEYOR_REPO_TAG_NAME) in GitHub deployment setting (to prevent AppVeyor from creating a new tag, and endless build loop)
• optionally add force_update: true (to update release details, not only files)
