MyGet 不显示 nuget package 自包含图标

Question

I've been migrating our nuget packages to using Self-contained icons support. When I publish them to MyGet, we're not seeing the icon image in Visual Studio package manager UI.

Is this a bug? Has anyone else published a nuget package to MyGet using self-contained icons and they show in the VS package manager UI?

Answer 1

Sure. It is an issue and check this link . Self-contained icons which is packed into the nupkg cannot be used on the local nuget package source.

So my suggestions are that:

Suggestions

One suggestion is that you could upload your nuget package into nuget.org.

Second is to use icon Url. Unload your icon on a website.

New-sdk format lib pack:

<PackageIconUrl> https://company.com/icon.png </PackageIconUrl>

nuspec file with this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2012/06/nuspec.xsd">
  <metadata minClientVersion="3.3">
    <icon>images\icon.png</icon>
    <iconUrl>https://company.com/icon.png</iconUrl>
  </metadata>
  <files>
    <file src="..\..\icon.png" target="images\icon.png" />
  </files>
</package>

Update 1

Actually , PackageIconUrl and iconUrl are removed. And thanks for your guidance.

But when I tested in a new-sdk style(net core or net standard) lib project, I can use these on csproj file:

 <PropertyGroup>
        <PackageId>moqq</PackageId>
        <Version>1.0.0</Version>
        <Authors>me</Authors>
        <PackageIcon>images\test.png</PackageIcon>              
 </PropertyGroup>
 <ItemGroup>
        <None Include="mysql.png" Pack="true" PackagePath="images"></None>
 </ItemGroup>

That use the PackageIcon node seems to work. And for new-sdk project, use dotnet pack command line or just right-click on the project on the Solution Explorer--> Pack .

Note : My VS is VS2019 Community 16.8.6 and if your VS2019 is too old, please update it first.

Also , PackageSources5 is local feed.

Besides , if you used a non-sdk style net framework project, it actually can be done. You should use msbuild -t:pack rather than traditional nuget pack with custom nuspec file.

1) install a nuget package called NuGet.Build.Tasks.Pack on the lib project and remember that you should use PackageReference format to install it. If not, you should right-click on the packages.config file--> Migrate packages.config into PackageReference .

2) delete bin and obj file and also nuspec file in your project folder, the file is redundant and if it exists, it will affect the msbuild -t:pack .

3) add these on the csproj file at the bottom of the csproj file:

<PropertyGroup>
        <PackageId>moqqq</PackageId>
        <Version>1.0.0</Version>
        <Authors>me</Authors>
        <PackageIcon>images\test.png</PackageIcon>
        <PackageIconUrl></PackageIconUrl> 
         
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
        <None Include="test.png" Pack="true" PackagePath="images"></None> 
</ItemGroup>

You could also add on csproj file:

<PropertyGroup>
<GeneratePackageOnBuild>true</GeneratePackageOnBuild>
</PropertyGroup>

After that , click Rebuild button and it could generate the nupkg file under project folder\Debug or Release\ .
