Canonical way to use MikTeX via appveyor

I'm trying to use continuous integration with appveyor but I'm unable to run pdflatex. I considered myself reasonably competent with MikTeX up until now, though perhaps this is more a powershell problem.

I was able to install and run TeX Live through appveyor but I'd like to test MikTeX.

Attempt 1: docker

I attempted to use MikTeX's docker image (https://miktex.org/howto/miktex-docker) but it appears to be only usable for GNU/Linux:

build_script:

  - docker pull miktex/miktex

  - docker volume create --name miktex

  - docker run -ti 

      -v miktex:/miktex/.miktex 

      -v `pwd`:/miktex/work 

      miktex/miktex 

      pdflatex Report.tex

Results in:

>    docker pull miktex/miktex

>    Using default tag: latest

>    latest: Pulling from miktex/miktex

>    image operating system "linux" cannot be used on this platform

>    Command exited with code 1

>    7z a failure.zip *.Rcheck*

Attempt 2: via chocolatey

init:

    ps:

       choco install miktex.portable

       refreshenv



script:

  - pdflatex Report.tex

Result:

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

You can assume that Report.tex compiles.

I myself have only used Travis CI, but there seem a few repositories to install MiKTeX on AppVeyor (e.g., github.com/thomasjo/appveyor-miktex)

I'm not sure what you mean by 'canonical'. But this should work:

version: 1.0.{build}

image: Visual Studio 2017

install:

  - ps: choco install -y miktex

  - cmd:  refreshenv



build_script:

  - cmd: pdflatex .Report.tex
