curl.exe removed form curl, not just libcurl about curl-feedstock HOT 8 CLOSED

Closed in #83.

from curl-feedstock.

I have been working for many hours trying to figure out why I'm getting:

'curl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

in builds of
conda-forge/leptonica-feedstock#22
and finally figured out that curl.exe just isn't there.

Ouch! I wonder if we are even testing that properly. Let me try to fix it but we should send a PR to admin to remove those packages too.

I wondered as well why the tests passed. My guess is that curl.exe is maybe being found somewhere else by accident during testing.

It is probably in the image. In AppVeyor we had a workaround for it. I'm sending a PR to test it.

@xylar, we already remove a lot of directories from PATH in https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-ci-setup-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/run_conda_forge_build_setup_win.bat#L28. Can you figure out the directory where curl is coming from in Azure and remove it?

Can somebody send a PR to https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-ci-setup-feedstock to remove curl from PATH? (Or create an issue?)

Historically we have used curl to bootstrap CI with enough things to get started as it is on all platforms. So if we do opt to remove it on Windows, it would be good to double check we are not using it anywhere for this purpose still.
