For SBT Native Packager we rely on travis-ci to run our tests. However travis has not yet windows support, so we have to run these tests manually, which is not nice. Lucky there’s another free-for-opensource continous integration server for windows name AppVeyor.

Setup your appveyor.yml

The tricky part is to install sbt and let it run your tests. There is an awesome blogpost on how to do it with maven. I took the script and changed it to work with sbt instead.
