Need integration with AppVeyor CI

[bsommardahl]

I've used TC's integration in the past and being able to read test results in TeamCity has been great. Now, I'm using AppVeyor CI and need something similar. I'm willing to contribute this, but thought it would be a good idea to start a conversation about it here first.

I think I need to modify two and create two classes:

• = Machine.Specifications.ConsoleRunner/Program.cs (around this line)
• = Machine.Specifications.ConsoleRunner / Options.cs (around this line and this line)
• + AppVeyorReporter (patterned after TeamCityReporter)
• + AppVeyorServiceMessageWriter (patterned after TeamCityServiceMessageWriter)

This is how it's made for xUnit: xunit/xunit#117

[bsommardahl]

Thanks @FeodorFitsner

AppVeyor CI has an API that receives information about tests so that they will appear in the build results. I plan on creating a new reporter patterned after @FeodorFitsner's visitor in the pull request for xUnit he mentioned above. It uses an http web client to send messages to AppVeyor CI at different stages of the test lifecycle.

@agross I'm writing a listener for AppVeyor similar to the TeamCityReporter listener. I have a question. Does the listener need to worry about normal console output (test results, etc)? If not, I'm done.

Go ahead. Just make sure that everything is speced out properly ;) Awesome feature!

[bsommardahl]

@danielmarbach I'm noticing a lot of inconsistency in spacing and style. How can I make sure I'm formatting things like you guys want it?

[danielmarbach]

That is still a task in the issue tracker. Go for normal indentation (4 spaces) and if possible stylecop complaint (except documentation rules)

@bsommardahl In TeamCity interleaved output with service messages and test output is not an issue. I don't know about AppVeyor, though.

[bsommardahl]

I added some basic console feedback just to show progress. One of the cool things about AppVeyor is that the console output is a first class citizen and is front-and-center. So some form of console output is important, even if the test results are also going to the AppVeyor API.

I’ll review it next weekend ok? Bevor I have no time because I go with my company to an education camp
