Change NuGet feed in step template

Legacy Uncategorised

Hi,

I’m putting together a step template based on the ‘Deploy Nuget a NuGet Package’ step. As part of creating the step template you can specify a NuGet feed and NuGet package ID. However as this is a template I would like to distribute to other users through the Step Template Library I was wondering if there is a way to enable the end-user to specify these variables when using the step as they would for standard parameters?

I understand that the user can edit the step template themselves through the UI after importing it but just wanted to check if there is a way to make the step behave more like the standard ‘Deploy a NuGet Package’ step where you can select the feed and package ID when editing the process.

For the package ID you could refer to a variable and let the user set the value through a parameter. This works but you lose tab completion which is a shame. I can’t see what a similar workaround would look like for the NuGet feed though.

Thanks in advance.

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’m afraid that is the only way around this one. Its inevitable to lose the auto completion of those fields.

It wouldn’t be a bad suggestion at all if you’d like to submit it in Uservoice. If enough users vote for it, we might consider adding it as a feature.
