❔ Git Hub Actions Dot Net Push keeps trying to use 1.0.0.nupkg but that file should not exist

I have an established GitHub workflow I have been using for a while that builds, tests and pushes NuGet packages for a large C# library solution.

name: Build and Publish Nuget Packages

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]
    
jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: windows-latest

    steps:          
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    
    - name: Install .NET 7
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: 7.x
        
    - name: Restore
      run: dotnet restore
      
    - name: Build
      run: dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore /p:VersionPrefix=7.0.$env:GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER

    - name: Test
      run: dotnet test --verbosity normal

    - name: Push
      run: dotnet nuget push */**/*.nupkg --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --api-key ${{ secrets.NUGET_API_KEY }}

name: Build and Publish Nuget Packages

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]
    
jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: windows-latest

    steps:          
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    
    - name: Install .NET 7
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: 7.x
        
    - name: Restore
      run: dotnet restore
      
    - name: Build
      run: dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore /p:VersionPrefix=7.0.$env:GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER

    - name: Test
      run: dotnet test --verbosity normal

    - name: Push
      run: dotnet nuget push */**/*.nupkg --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --api-key ${{ secrets.NUGET_API_KEY }}

This workflow has been working for ages doing exactly what I want which is to package all the projects into NuGet packages for me, where the version of those packages is 7.0.[run number]. However I just recently added a new C# class library project to the solution, and I am getting a frustrating issue with this workflow. Now even though the new project is set up identically to all the others it keeps trying to push a myproject.1.0.0.nupkg file instead of one with the 7.0.[run number].

Pushing MyProject.1.0.0.nupkg to 'https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package'...

Pushing MyProject.1.0.0.nupkg to 'https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package'...

Whats odd is that this file should not even exist since as you saw in the workflow, I specify that the version prefix should end with the GitHub run number and start with 7.0.

/p:VersionPrefix=7.0.$env:GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER

/p:VersionPrefix=7.0.$env:GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER

I cant figure out why this new project doesn’t work like the rest and is not correctly pushed as a 7.0.[run number] version. I can even see in the build logs of the workflow that the correct nupkg file is being created.

MyProject -> D:\a\MyRepo\MyRepo\MyProject\bin\Release\net7.0\MyProject.dll
Successfully created package 'D:\a\MyRepo\MyRepo\MyProject\bin\Release\MyProject.7.0.49.nupkg'.

MyProject -> D:\a\MyRepo\MyRepo\MyProject\bin\Release\net7.0\MyProject.dll
Successfully created package 'D:\a\MyRepo\MyRepo\MyProject\bin\Release\MyProject.7.0.49.nupkg'.

The project’s csproj file looks like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net7.0</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>

  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

I also thought maybe the 1.0.0.nupkg file was pushed in a commit by accident but it does not exist in the git repo and is correctly part of the .gitignore anyway. The only other new thing that I did was add an x-unit test project and the dot net test part of the workflow but that should not cause any issues I wouldn't think. It’s been impossible to google this specific issue since everything just takes me to how to push NuGet packages which I already know how to do. If you need the concrete details, you can view this on the actual GitHub page since this repo is public: https://github.com/AlexLexicon/Lexicom/actions/runs/6701136141/job/18208104259

I have to assume that I have missed something but at this point I feel like I have looked over everything and nothing seems incorrect or different than what I had before.

@TeBeClone if I run a simple dotnet build locally like the following:

dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore /p:VersionPrefix=7.0.12345

dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore /p:VersionPrefix=7.0.12345

I do see the correct package being generated

Successfully created package 'C:\Users\alexr\source\repos\Lexicom\Lexicom.Maths\bin\Release\Lexicom.Maths.7.0.12345.n
  upkg'.

Successfully created package 'C:\Users\alexr\source\repos\Lexicom\Lexicom.Maths\bin\Release\Lexicom.Maths.7.0.12345.n
  upkg'.

and the release folder on my file system only contains the 'Lexicom.Maths.7.0.12345.nupkg' file and not a 'Lexicom.Maths.1.0.0.nupkg'. In your screenshot I can see that the package that was created was in the debug folder but my yml pipeline builds for release configuration and shouldnt generate any debug output I wouldn't think

oh sorry the nuspec was a mistake on my part, they are nupkg files not nuspec. I will edit my response accordingly

Maybe I am confused about something, where did you take that screenshot exactly?

Wow, I should have thought of that. You were correct, the test was re-building the solution causing it to generate packages again, I guess. To fix it all I had to change was the dotnet test to the following:

run: dotnet test --no-build --configuration Release --verbosity normal

run: dotnet test --no-build --configuration Release --verbosity normal

Which makes complete sense now that I look at it. Thanks for helping me with this! /close

I can see the value in that format but to be honest I will probably leave it as is since I prefer this setup for what I need from it.

Was this issue resolved? If so, run /close - otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
