Continue after a failing command in appveyor

In appveyor I use the statement: - initexmf --admin --force --mklinks but due to a problem it gives the message:

initexmf --admin --force --mklinks
Sorry, but "MiKTeX Configuration Utility" did not succeed for the following reason:
  Script configuration file not found.
The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:
  C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\initexmf_admin.log
The system cannot find the path specified.
Command exited with code 1

due to the error code the process terminates and I cannot type the C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\initexmf_admin.log anymore, so a bit hard to debug ...

questions:

  • How to continue after an error
  • How to stop after the outputting the file (exit 1 ?)
Solution

  • To run a script on failure use on_failure section, for example to push initexmf_admin.log to artifacts:

    on_failure:
- appveyor PushArtifact C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\initexmf_admin.log
