How does one retrigger CI testing for a PR on Github without having to artificially update the PR ? I tried to find the answer to this in Github Help with no success. Maybe you have to retrigger tests within the testing environment somehow but I could not see how in either Appveyor or Travis CI.

Close the PR, then reopen it.

Not the answer I expected, but if it works it is a brilliant solution. I assume since it comes from Peter that it works. Now why did not I think of trying that <g>.

For Travis, you can restart the build jobs from Travis web UI. For AppVeyor, I don't think you can, unless you have admin rights to the CI project (i.e. if it is your CI project). In this case you can amend the last commit with no changes and force-push the branch. This will trigger all CIs.

Hmm, do you mean no push permissions needed to be able to cancel Travis job? https://travis-ci.community/t/open-the-cancel-button-permission-to-allow-con... Mateusz Loskot, mateusz@loskot.net (Sent from mobile, may suffer from top-posting)

Hmm, it seems you do need push permissions to restart Travis jobs. I thought all members of boostorg could do that. In that case altering the PR somehow seems to be the only way.
