I do not know why the the AppVeyor stage is failing everywhere:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/matplotlib/matplotlib/builds/54613753

Command exited with code 1
python tools/visualize_tests.py --no-browser
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\projects\matplotlib\tools\visualize_tests.py", line 160, in <module>
    run(show_browser=not args.no_browser)
  File "C:\projects\matplotlib\tools\visualize_tests.py", line 64, in run
    for name in os.listdir(image_dir)
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'result_images'
Command exited with code 1

HI @clin1234 , you still haven't updated the PR description as requested.

You should likely rebase for AppVeyor to pass here (see #32096 (comment))
