✨ Publish NuGet

GitHub action to build, pack & publish nuget packages automatically when a project version is updated

Usage

Create new .github/workflows/publish.yml file:

name: publish to nuget
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master # Default release branch
jobs:
  publish:
    name: build, pack & publish
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/[email protected]

      # - name: Setup dotnet
      #   uses: actions/[email protected]
      #   with:
      #     dotnet-version: 3.1.200

      # Publish
      - name: publish on version change
        id: publish_nuget
        uses: rohith/[email protected]
        with:
          # Filepath of the project to be packaged, relative to root of repository
          PROJECT_FILE_PATH: Core/Core.csproj
          
          # NuGet package id, used for version detection & defaults to project name
          # PACKAGE_NAME: Core
          
          # Filepath with version info, relative to root of repository & defaults to PROJECT_FILE_PATH
          # VERSION_FILE_PATH: Directory.Build.props

          # Regex pattern to extract version info in a capturing group
          # VERSION_REGEX: ^\s*<Version>(.*)<\/Version>\s*$
          
          # Useful with external providers like Nerdbank.GitVersioning, ignores VERSION_FILE_PATH & VERSION_REGEX
          # VERSION_STATIC: 1.0.0

          # Flag to toggle git tagging, enabled by default
          # TAG_COMMIT: true

          # Format of the git tag, [*] gets replaced with actual version
          # TAG_FORMAT: v*

          # API key to authenticate with NuGet server
          # NUGET_KEY: ${{secrets.NUGET_API_KEY}}

          # NuGet server uri hosting the packages, defaults to https://api.nuget.org
          # NUGET_SOURCE: https://api.nuget.org

          # Flag to toggle pushing symbols along with nuget package to the server, disabled by default
          # INCLUDE_SYMBOLS: false

• Project gets published only if there's a NUGET_KEY configured in the repository

Inputs

Outputs

FYI:

• Outputs may or may not be set depending on the action inputs or if the action failed
• NUGET_SOURCE must support /v3-flatcontainer/PACKAGE_NAME/index.json for version change detection to work
• Multiple projects can make use of steps to configure each project individually, common inputs between steps can be given as env for job / workflow
