Produce nuget package on build

[jma...@microsoft.com]

In our SDK we are shipping we have a project template that produces a nuget package on build.  To accomplish this we take a dependency on the Nuget.CommandLine package and have this line in the csproj file

 

<PostBuildEvent>if exist Diagnostic.nuspec if exist "$(SolutionDir)\packages\NuGet.CommandLine.2.8.3\tools\NuGet.exe" "$(SolutionDir)\packages\NuGet.CommandLine.2.8.3\tools\NuGet.exe" pack Diagnostic.nuspec -OutputDirectory .</PostBuildEvent>

 

Downsides to this approach are

• If the user updates the version of NuGet package then it will silently no longer build

• If the user renames Diagnostic.nuspec then it will silently no longer build

• If the user removes NuGet.CommandLine package then it will silently no longer build

 

We can remove the if-clauses so the user get a build error in these cases, but I was wondering if there is any supported way to produce a nuget package on build?

 

Thanks,

Enable download packages on build and use "$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\NuGet.exe" as executable.

Or you can install nuget at developer machine and add it`s bin to %PATH%

Or u can create your package containing with fixed nuget.cml version in dependencies.

and install this package in your projects. 

also u can add build task to project on package install (i do not how but it posible, i think...)
