Nuget version resolution bug?

Legacy Uncategorised

I had a situation where the SemVer number of my nuget package for octopack went from 1.6.x back to 1.0.x. Even though my TeamCity build supplied Octopus with a 1.0.x package, Octopus disregarded this version and resolved using the ‘latest’ version it could find in the repo i.e. 1.6.x. Is this a bug? See log below:

basically, Octopus has used the "Latest available in NuGet repository ", but I didn’t want it to do that, I provided the version I wanted it to resolve.

Hi,

You need to specify --package=1.0.43.5 in addition to --version.

--version tells us the number to use for the release in Octopus, while --package is for the NuGet package version. Note that when using the TeamCity plugin, you pass --package in the “Additional command-line arguments” setting.

great, many thanks Paul.
I ended up using --packageversion as per a previous post of yours I found http://help.octopusdeploy.com/discussions/problems/9804-octopus-step-in-teamcity-select-latest-package-instead-of-by-version-given
