OctoPack with in TFS build not finding .nuspec for the .csproj

Legacy Execution

We have added our .nuspec file for the same name as our .csproj in the same folder. It does copy over to the folders within the build, but then it seems like the final Added File, is a Octopack generated file not the file we have in our TFS source control.

_CopyOutOfDateSourceItemsToOutputDirectoryAlways:
Copying file from “D:\Sources\etc\src\xxxx.Note\xxxx.SvcHost.Note\App.OctoDeploy.transform” to “D:\Dev\Binaries\xxxx.SvcHost.Note\App.OctoDeploy.transform”.
Copying file from “D:\Sources\Deploy\ConnectionStrings.SaaSDEV.transform” to “D:\Binaries\xxxx.SvcHost.Note\ConnectionStrings.SaaSDEV.transform”.
Copying file from “D:\Sources\etc\src\xxxx.Note\xxxx.SvcHost.Note\xxxx.SvcHost.Note.nuspec” to “D:\Binaries\xxxx.SvcHost.Note\xxxx.SvcHost.Note.nuspec”.
_CopyAppConfigFile:
Copying file from “app.config” to “D:\Binaries\xxxx.SvcHost.Note\xxxx.SvcHost.Note.exe.config”.
CopyFilesToOutputDirectory:
Copying file from “obj\Release\xxxx.SvcHost.Note.exe” to “D:\Binaries\xxxx.SvcHost.Note\xxxx.SvcHost.Note.exe”.
xxxx.SvcHost.Note -> D:\Binaries\xxxx.SvcHost.Note\xxxx.SvcHost.Note.exe
Copying file from “obj\Release\xxxx.SvcHost.Note.pdb” to “D:\Binaries\xxxx.SvcHost.Note\xxxx.SvcHost.Note.pdb”.

the issue was that having /p:OctoPackEnforceAddingFiles=true was adding all the files from the folder into the .nuspec after the exclude. So if you are using exclude, you need to make sure in the TFS build definition this is /p:OctoPackEnforceAddingFiles=false

Hi Rick,

That’s correct. Actually this should work without passing the `/p:OctoPackEnforceAddingFiles=false parameter at all.
