NuGetPackager@0 - NuGet packager v0 task

NuGetPackager@0 is deprecated. Use the NuGet task instead. It works with the new Tool Installer framework so you can easily use new versions of NuGet without waiting for a task update, provides better support for authenticated feeds outside this account/collection, and uses NuGet 4 by default.

Inputs

searchPattern - Path to csproj or nuspec file(s) to pack
string. Required. Default value: **\*.csproj.

The pattern that the task uses to search for csproj or nuspec files to pack.

You can separate multiple patterns with a semicolon, and you can make a pattern negative by prefixing it with -:. Example: **\*.csproj;-:**\*.Tests.csproj.


outputdir - Package Folder
string.

The folder where the task creates packages. If this string is empty, packages will be created in the folder where the csproj or nuspec file is located.


includeReferencedProjects - Include referenced projects
boolean. Default value: false.

Includes referenced projects either as dependencies or as part of the package. Cannot be used with automatic package versioning. If a referenced project has a corresponding nuspec file that has the same name as the project, then that referenced project is added as a dependency. Otherwise, the referenced project is added as part of the package. Learn more about using the pack command for NuGet CLI to create NuGet packages.


versionByBuild - Automatic package versioning
string. Required. Allowed values: false (Off), byPrereleaseNumber (Use the date and time), byEnvVar (Use an environment variable), true (Use the build number). Default value: false.

Applies automatic package versioning depending on the specified value. This string cannot be used with includeReferencedProjects. The allowed values are:

  • byPrereleaseNumber - Use the date and time: The task will generate a SemVer-compliant version formatted as X.Y.Z-ci-datetime, where you specify the values of X, Y, and Z.
  • byEnvVar- Use an environment variable: The task will use an environment variable that you specify and contains the version number you want to use.
  • true - Use the build number: The task will use the build number to version the package.

Note

Under General, set the build format to be $(BuildDefinitionName)_$(Year:yyyy).$(Month).$(DayOfMonth)$(Rev:.r).


versionEnvVar - Environment variable
string. Required when versionByBuild = byEnvVar.

Specifies the variable name without $, $env, or %.


requestedMajorVersion - Major
string. Required when versionByBuild = byPrereleaseNumber. Default value: 1.

requestedMinorVersion - Minor
