cyg-get fails about ci HOT 7 CLOSED

Apparently, you need to set PATH=%PATH%;C:\tools\cygwin;C:\tools\cygwin\bin.

@larsbrinkhoff this sounds like an issue with the Chocolatey Package, not AppVeyor or Chocolatey directly.

Can I ask that you use this form:

http://chocolatey.org/packages/cyg-get/ContactOwners

To contact the owners of this package, perhaps directing them back to this issue.

Thanks, already did.

Also, instead of setting the path, you can use Chocolatey to update the path on command line with RefreshEnv - it will update all environment variables for you, not just path. Very handy.

@ferventcoder RefreshEnv didn't seem to work in this case: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/larsbrinkhoff/appveyor-test/build/35
I guess it's because I save the installed packages in the build cache.

@larsbrinkhoff yes, this is exactly why you are having a problem :-(

When installing packages, there are a number of things that can be done, i.e. registry keys changed, environment variables set, files placed on file system, etc.

By using the build cache, you have taken care of one of these items, but not the potential other ones.

@FeodorFitsner is there anything that can be done here, i.e. remembering the entire state of the VM? I suspect not. In which case the best option would be to NOT use the build cache.
