将 nuget 包从 VSTS 推送到 nuget.org 时忽略重复项

Question

I got a build in VSTS that are triggered on every commit in the repository. Everything works great with one exception.

We do not release a new version of the nuget package on every commit. So our nuget push build step fails with http status code 409. I've configured that step so that it can continue anyway.

Due to the error the build is just "partially successful". I'm using the a build badge which also states the same (without context).

How can I tell VSTS to ignore 409 or just replace the existing package (on nuget.org)?

Answer 1

You can't ignore 409 error in VSTS build and can't replace the existing package in server.

I recommend that you can push the package in the release and fail the release if package is existing.

Another way is that, you can check the package in server before push package (eg PowerShell, REST API) during the build and set the condition for push package task (Custom Condition).

For example:

1. Add a variable to build definition (eg hasPackage true)
2. Check packages (PowerShell, Rest API etc…)
3. If the package is existing, set the variable to false ( "##vso[task.setvariable variable=hasPackage;]false" )
4. Set Custom condition for push package task (eg eq(variables['hasPackage'],'false'))

Update:

Allow duplicates to be skipped is supported in NuGet Push Task now! (Just check Allow duplicates to be skipped option in NuGet Push task.

Answer 2

Use -skipDuplicate flag (available since NuGet 5.1):

(5.1+) If a package and version already exists, skip it and continue with the next package in the push, if any.

Answer 3

We had the same problem with duplicated packages on Azure Pipelines.

Solution proposed by starian chen-MSFT is cool but it requires some scripting.

We came to solution which requires less efforts. You can create command line step and invoke dotnet nuget push with the following parameters:

dotnet nuget push $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/*.nupkg --skip-duplicate --api-key $(Config.NuGetApiKey) --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

The key is parameter --skip-duplicate which just skips the packages if they already exist.

In variable $(Config.NuGetApiKey) define your API key for NuGet.org. You should make it secret variable, so that it does not appear anywhere in the logs.

Here is the YAML for this command:

steps:
- script: |
   dotnet nuget push $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/*.nupkg --skip-duplicate --api-key $(Config.NuGetApiKey) --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
   
  failOnStderr: true
  displayName: 'Publish NuGet Package'
