Azure DevOps 构建管道不包括所有 NuGet 包内容文件

Question

I'm busy creating a Azure Devops build pipeline for a ASP.NET MVC application, but I'm stuck on restoring some NuGet packages.

I decided to add all folders to the .gitignore file that are added by NuGet package installs. Because pipelines will reproduce this files when doing a NuGet restore.

Unfortunately , for one of my installed NuGet-packages this doesn't work: the expected files were not added to my artifact.

When I install this package manually in Visual Studio, NuGet will add an assembly and some files inside the App_Plugins/uSync folder, but the NuGet restore step in Pipelines does not: it only added the assembly to the final artifact. The App_Plugins files are missing.

Below my YAML representation of the build pipeline:

steps:
- task: NuGetToolInstaller@1

- task: NuGetCommand@2
  inputs:
    restoreSolution: '$(solution)'

- task: VSBuild@1
  inputs:
    solution: '$(solution)'
    msbuildArgs: '/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:PackageLocation="$(build.artifactStagingDirectory)"'
    platform: '$(buildPlatform)'
    configuration: '$(buildConfiguration)'

- task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
  inputs:
    PathtoPublish: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
    ArtifactName: 'artifact'
    publishLocation: 'Container'

Any help much appreciated!

Just curious, what NuGet version is used in your build pipeline.As per doc , This version of the NuGet task uses NuGet 4.1.0 by default. To select a different version of NuGet, use the Tool Installer .
