How to push an update to a NuGet feed for .NET Framework and .NET Core libraries

I have my own NuGet feed in Azure Artefacts. Currently, there are two packages in the feed:

The top one is a .NET Core library and the bottom one is a .NET Framework library.

I need to push an update to the NuGet feed for both versions to be 1.0.1 - but I'm having some trouble doing this. I packed 'INTLConfiguration.Client' and renamed the .nukpg from INTLConfiguration.Client.1.0.0.nupkg to INTLConfiguration.Client.1.0.1.nupkg and tried to push the nuget to my source feed but it errored with a conflict message saying v1.0.0 already exists.

How do I go about updating both of these nuget packages into my source feed?

Thank you.

I packed 'INTLConfiguration.Client' and renamed the .nukpg from INTLConfiguration.Client.1.0.0.nupkg to INTLConfiguration.Client.1.0.1.nupkg

It seems that your update is just to rename the output xxx.nupkg. It's not the valid way to create updated .nupkg. A xx.nupkg is something like a .zip. Renaming it from Name.nupkg to Name.zip and then you can unzip it and see its content. Open the ProjectName.nuspec and you can find the version defined in it is still 1.0.0.

My guess:

Maybe the way you use to pack is something like creating a .net core project and right-click the pack button which outputs a ProjectName.1.0.0.nupkg.

1# If so, the easiest way to resolve it is right-click Project name in Solution Explorer=>Properties and change the Package version there:

enter image description here

Change the version to 1.0.1 and pack it again.

2# Also we can use .nuspec file defined by us for this option.

  1. Add a text file to the project and rename it to xxx.nuspec. Change its build action in property window to content.
  2. Right-click the project=>unload the project=>edit the xxx.csproj file.

Add a script like below into it:

<PropertyGroup>
  <NuspecFile>NuspecName.nuspec</NuspecFile>
</PropertyGroup>

Then reload the project, every time when we use Pack option it will call NuspecName.nuspec file.

To create a nuget package by command-line, I suggest you use dotnet.exe or nuget.exe.

For your .net core project, you can use dotnet pack command.Some details about it see here.

3# To create a .net core package with version 1.0.2 without using a .nuspec file:

  1. Open cmd.exe, and type command: cd C:\PathToProjectFolder to navigate to ProjectDir(where exists xx.csproj)

  2. Then type command like dotnet pack -p:PackageVersion=1.0.1 to create a really version-1.0.1 nuget package. (If you only have one .csproj in the dir)

Or you need to specify the .csproj like: dotnet pack ~/projects/app1/project.csproj -p:PackageVersion=1.0.1

4# To create a .net core package with version 1.0.2 using a .nuspec file:

  1. Create a .nuspec file and modify its content to meet your needs(Version, AuthorName...).

  2. Open cmd.exe and use a command like:dotnet pack ~/projects/app1/project.csproj /p:NuspecFile=~/projects/app1/project.nuspec /p:NuspecBasePath=~/projects/app1/nuget

If you use the Pack option(Right-click project=>Pack button) in VS, check 1# or 2#.

If you use command-line, you can check 3# or 4#. Hope it helps:)

Update:

How do I go about updating both of these nuget packages into my source feed?

You can check this tutorial to create a package which targets .net framework.And update the version in .nuspec before you pack it. Also, if you want to get an updated nuget package, I suggest you update the assembly version and file version for the dll itself also.
