Can you create an account at AppVeyor and enable automatic builds for this repository, please?

This way we should see what AppVeyor is doing on Windows, with the configuration in this PR.

AppVeyor has a horr^H^H^H^H^H user interface that is not meant to be loved. I have suffered this morning, too. 😒

I think the users depend on what you have configured on GitHub (you grant the CI access to your GitHub organizations, and they allow access to accounts listed there; that's how CI services usually do it).

I'll try to push a change, then we maybe see something moving. Or can you trigger a build manually in your account?

It doesn't look like a build on AppVeyor was triggered. Can you check in the project settings of this repository on GitHub whether you have granted access to AppVeyor?

"Can you check in the project settings of this repository on GitHub whether you have granted access to AppVeyor?" I confirmed it's granted. (It was that way from before I made the check.)

"can you trigger a build manually in your account?" Did that now.

Can you share the link to the AppVeyor project? Please, also try whether the URL is accessible when you're not logged in into your AppVeyor account (i.e. anonymous access is allowed).

AppVeyor builds are not triggered. There should be another link next to Travis CI here in the UI. Can you check what's wrong? Maybe AppVeyor has support tickets, or infos that help pinning the problem in their knowledge base.

Can you please also create an OAuth Token on GitHub via travis setup releases? (see Travis docs)

I let Travis build a Linux bundle and upload it to GitHub. That's where we need the encrypted OAuth Token. I have the code already prepared, only the token is now missing.

If AppVeyor proves to be too cumbersome we can try Shippable. They provide Windows builds since recently. Do you want to try to create an account?

I created an account, and enabled this project: https://app.shippable.com/github/cool-RR/PythonTurtle/dashboard

I'll do the oauth token later.

Could you tell me which commands to run for the oauth token?

The travis command and a link to the related docs are in the comment above. 😃

The builds on AppVeyor seem to work now! Awesome! 🎉

Can you try downloading and running the .EXE file that was built? The build spits out warnings all the way down, but who knows? Maybe it's working anyway.

Cool! You need to make sure you have Windows builds enabled (as of the link in the comment above). I've been told by their support that, currently, we can only run Linux builds or Windows builds (for free) from the same account or GitHub organization.

I think, we could merge this PR now. I've packed more into it than originally planned.

This would also trigger an upload to PyPI (and we could see if it works or why it fails).

Great job! I downloaded the exe and it worked! It crashed after exiting the program, but that's probably because of a bug we have.

Do you still have interest in Shippable?

Do you still have interest in Shippable?

Yes, I'd like to get it running. Just to verify that there's a working alternative to AppVeyor. This will also give us a feeling which of the two is easier to handle, has a nicer UI, etc.

What's still missing now with both Travis and AppVeyor (and Shippable of course) is the automatic upload of created application bundles (executables) to GitHub when a tag is pushed. We need to work on that. ☝️

P.S.: Have you bought your space suit, now that we're getting ready to fly to mars? 😄

Re Shippable: Can you verify you have done all steps from Section 1 in Shippable's instructions for Windows builds?

I added you as an administrator on AppVeyor, let me know whether that worked.

I've added you as a collaborator on GitHub, I believe that'll make you a collaborator on Shippable, let me know if it doesn't.

I haven't done anything from the Shippable instructions. Looking at it now it says I need to "Purchase the on-demand WindowsServer 2016 SKU". So, that costs money?

Weren't you made an administrator on the Shippable project? https://app.shippable.com/github/cool-RR/PythonTurtle/settings I hope I can make you an administrator so you could do it.

If not let me know and I'll contact their support.
