Integration testing with Local deployment

Local deployment provider deploys artifacts containing web and Windows application packages to build server locally for integration testing.

Provider settings

Local deployment provider has exactly the same behavior and configuration settings as Agent Deployment provider with the only difference is that applications are being installed locally on the build server.

Installing self-signed SSL certificate to a website

Add InstallSelfSignedCert.ps1 PowerShell script into your repository:

$cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName ("localtest.me","*.localtest.me") -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My
$rootStore = Get-Item cert:\LocalMachine\Root
$rootStore.Open("ReadWrite")
$rootStore.Add($cert)
$rootStore.Close();
Import-Module WebAdministration
Set-Location IIS:\SslBindings
New-WebBinding -Name "Default Web Site" -IP "*" -Port 443 -Protocol https
$cert | New-Item 0.0.0.0!443

Then if using appveyor.yml call it like that (provided the script is in root of repo):

before_deploy:
  - PowerShell .\InstallSelfSignedCert.ps1
