Can't reference environment variables on AppVeyor with GitVersion 5.1.3 #1938
Description
Hi, I have a YAML script for building application on AppVeyor. GitVersion is used to calculate the version. It used to work fine in 4.0.0, but doesn't seem to in the new version. I tested this with 5.1.3-beta1-29 (although the behavior is the same on previous 5.x.x releases, basically everything more recent than 4.0.0).
Here's the log when using GitVersion 4.0.0. First I'm outputting GitVersion's version (4.0.0) for debugging. Then GitVersion is executed with gitversion /verbosity warn /l console /output buildserver /nofetch /b %APPVEYOR_REPO_BRANCH%. As the last thing, on the bottom of the log, I'm doing echo $Env:GitVersion_SemVer which outputs the calculated sem-ver correctly.
gitversion /version

echo $Env:GitVersion_SemVer
The last echo command does not output anything. Further on (not included above) when I'm trying to use GitVersion_SemVer variable I'm getting
GitVersion_SemVer : The term 'GitVersion_SemVer' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct
and try again.
which indicates that AppVeyor is not able to resolve the variable when using GitVersion 5.1.3.
So it seems GitVersion can calculate the version number correctly, but fails to add the variables to environment?
Couple of extra details. We're running "Visual Studio 2019" image on AppVeyor, and the application is developed in .NET Core 3.0, although I observed similar problems for .NET Framework 4.7.2 project, if that's relevant.
