How can i create a manual VSTS release to NuGet? - nuget

Possible related, but seems outdated: VSTS Release Task - Push to Nuget
I have a open-source project on GitHub, which is setup to do a build on VSTS.
Now, i would like to have a VSTS Release definition, which publishes my package to NuGet. I would like to do this manually..so don't want it part of my VSTS build.
Can someone point me to the best resource on how to do this?
Here's my Release Definition:

How to run nuget package (tool) from artifact feed

I'm begginer to devops. And I got a task to create 2 pipelines. One for building project and publishing it to artifact feed. And another pipeline is to run that tool.
First one I have created (created nuget as a tool and placed in my feed).
How can I now create pipeline that will do dotnet run but from my feed?
I just need guidance a big picture.
I'm trying something like this:
pool:
vmImage: windows-latest
jobs:
- job: RunTool
displayName: Run Tool
steps:
- task: DotNetCoreCLI#2
inputs:
command: 'custom'

I'm getting:

The tool package could not be restored.
Tool 'migrationapp' failed to install. This failure may have been caused by:
* You are attempting to install a preview release and did not use the --version option to specify the version.
* A package by this name was found, but it was not a .NET tool.
* The required NuGet feed cannot be accessed, perhaps because of an Internet connection problem.
* You mistyped the name of the tool.

##[error]Dotnet command failed with non-zero exit code on the following projects :

On Artifacts I have MigrationApp nuget package. I can download it and run it localy.
Since you are creating Nuget as tool and need to use it in pipeline, you can use dotnet tool install command to install the Nuget tool and define the feed source.
For example: Add a command line task/ Bash task/ PowerShell
dotnet tool install -g --add-source=https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/<org-name>/<projectname>/_packaging/<feedname>/nuget/v3/index.json toolname
Then you can use the nuget tool in next tasks.
On the other hand, if you need to download the Nuget Package, you can use the task: Download package task to download the nuget package from feed and do next actions.

Publish prerelease (alpha) version using VSTS

I try to pack and publish a package as prelease on VSTS.
In the build step: dotnet (2* preview) pack I set a custom build number:
Automatic package versioning: use the build number.
Options:
$(BuildDefinitionName)_$(Year:yyyy).$(Month).$(DayOfMonth)$(Rev:.r)-alpha
It seems to build correctly:
Build #aspcore-repository (sqlserver)_2018.1.29.5-alpha has been
queued.
But in the pack step it loses the -alpha in the version and it is not published as a prelease package:
[command]"C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" pack
d:\a\1\s\SqlServer\Citolab.Repository.SqlServer.csproj --output
d:\a\1\a /p:PackageVersion=2018.1.29.3 --verbosity Detailed
What should I do to publish the package as prelease version?
This is a bug/feature of using the BuildNumber as your version source. I've submitted a pull request, but it hasn't been taken into the Nuget tasks yet. as a workaround use Environment Variable instead of Build Number and set the value to: BUILD_BUILDNUMBER.

VSTS Release Task - Push to Nuget

I'm trying to set up CI for my Core projects and wrappers to our vsts nuget feed.
I've followed the Zen of Package Management tutorial here.
It's a little out of date, but I believe I managed to translate the changes.
My Build seems to work fine, it builds and packages the dll's into several nuget packages.
The release seems to work also, but the Nuget Feed is not updated with the latest packages.
My Release task is only one task as shown in the image below.
The log shows that it found and downloaded the packages, but it does not show any success on the actual push to nuget.
This is the log that shows the packages being found, and successful completion.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I've been doing a bit of trial and error to find the issue with no success. I'm now a bit stuck with no error messages and no feedback on the outcome for the push.
It's caused by the configuration of Path to NuGet package(s) to publish option for NuGet Push task in your release definition.
Please change the Path to NuGet package(s) to publish as:
$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/packed/*.nupkg
Then the nuget package should be published to your feed correctly.

In order to understand what was happening, I tried to create the package in my development box, using NuGet version 3.3, and got a similar message. So, I've updated NuGet to version 3.5, tried to pack in my machine and it worked just fine.So, my questions are:
Is there any kind of configuration in Team Services Build Definition
that can be done to solve this issue?
How can I force the Hosted build agent to use version 3.5 in the
NuGet Packager task?
To use nuget3.5 for nugget packager task, you can add nugget.exe to source control, and then use $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\nuget.exe as path to nugget.exe.
For Nuget Restore and Nuget Publisher Tasks, they define 3.3 and 3.5 in their tasks. You can view task.json for all tasks definitions in VSTS task.
If you want Nuget Packager also can choose nugget version, you should develop your own task same as Nuget Packager function and with nuget version to choose.

Nuget.exe Install — Microsoft.CSharp already has a dependency for System.Dynamic.Runtime

We install some packages via a PowerShell pre-build script in our CI build. Recently, we're been receiving Partially Successful email notifications with the following information provided:
'Microsoft.CSharp' already has a dependency defined for 'System.Dynamic.Runtime'
Here is the command from the PowerShell script that generates the information:
cd $source\MyNet\MyWeb\MyComp.WebViewer\packages
&"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Tools\Nuget.exe" install newtonsoft.json
I would like to be able to handle/ignore this message so that fully Successful build notifications are received.
It doesn't seem to be causing any problems otherwise.
Does anyone have any nuget.exe command line parameters that might bypass such an error?
The error message already has a dependency defined for usually indicates that the version of NuGet you are using is too old. So you should look at updating it.
This particular error can happen when the NuGet packages being used are using a group dependency with a target framework which the version of NuGet you are using does not know about.
In my case, I get a message when install some Nuget Package:
'PackageA' already has a dependency defined for 'PackageB'
.
And I search PackageB in Nuget Package Manager online, and click install button to install it again,
then ran into a problem:
The package requires NuGet client version '2.12' or above, but the current NuGet version is '2.7.40911.287'.
and I do as this solution Nuget version not correct?
after I upgrade the version of Nuget Package Manager, I can install PackageB, and then I can install PackageA.
I had a similar problem using NuGet to load the Google.Apis.Sheets.v4.
Upgrading my VS.NET 2013 from NuGet 2.8.60723.765 to 2.12.0.817 resolved it.
To see your NuGet version number, go to the Package Manager Console prompt (PM>) with Tools / NuGet Package Manager / Package Manager Console. Then, enter "$host" at the PM> prompt.

To update NuGet, select Tools / Extensions and Updates... . Then, select "Updates" followed by clicking on the "Update" button of the "NuGet Package Manager".
