#TC.NuGet.Pack

Utilities for automating the creation of NuGet packages. The NuGet.exe used is the bootstrapper version.

Installation

After cloning this solution you'll need to run TC.NuGet.Pack\NuGetPack.bat to push packges to your local package source.

##TC.NuGet.Pack.All

This utility runs through all the .nuspec files in your project folder then packs and pushes each one. All .nupkg files left in the root of the project are deleted.

http://www.nuget.org/packages/TC.NuGet.Pack.All/

This utility runs with -NoDefaultExcludes on the assumption all files are manually added to .nuspec.

##TC.NuGet.Pack.Project

This utility inspects your project to pack the .nupkg file. If you haven't added a correctly named .nuspec file one will be created which will need default settings changed. The .nupkg is then pushed and deleted.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/TC.NuGet.Pack.Project/

To stop this utility appearing as a dependancy the following will be added to your packages.config file automatically.

<package id="TC.NuGet.Pack.Project" version="1.0.0.0" targetFramework="net45" developmentDependency="true" />

##Pushing Local

Given these utilities push a package after every build it is often easier to work with a local Package Source. Add a NuGet.Config to the solution root to set DefaultPushSource and your local feed. Don't forget to add NuGetLocalFeed\ to your .gitignore or equivilant.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <config>
    <add key="DefaultPushSource" value="NuGetLocalFeed" />
  </config>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="NuGetLocalFeed" value="NuGetLocalFeed" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

Project References Error

This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Enable NuGet Package Restore to download them.

When a message like this appears in build process then you'll need to delete the following. This appears to happen when two versions of the package are installed at the same time.

  <Import Project="..\packages\TC.NuGetPack.All.1.0.1.4\build\TC.NuGetPack.All.targets" Condition="Exists('..\packages\TC.NuGetPack.All.1.0.1.4\build\TC.NuGetPack.All.targets')" />
  <Target Name="EnsureNuGetPackageBuildImports" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild">
    <PropertyGroup>
      <ErrorText>This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Enable NuGet Package Restore to download them.  For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is {0}.</ErrorText>
    </PropertyGroup>
    <Error Condition="!Exists('..\packages\TC.NuGetPack.All.1.0.1.4\build\TC.NuGetPack.All.targets')" Text="$([System.String]::Format('$(ErrorText)', '..\packages\TC.NuGetPack.All.1.0.1.4\build\TC.NuGetPack.All.targets'))" />
