Automatically promote a nuget packge using a relese definition
Edit: Now I see you are with on-prem server so the extension will not work for you, so you must use the Update Package Version Rest API.
Add a PowerShell task to execute the API, something like this (it's for update work item, just change the body and the URL to the correct Rest API):
Don't forget to check the checkbox on the agent job options: Allow scripts to access the OAuth token.
If you use Azure DevOps you can install the Promote package to Release View extension and add it to your pipeline:
The following powershell script you can use to promote multiple packages. This script assumes that all packages have the same version (one product consisting of several packages). It is working fine with our "DevOps Server 2019".
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$tfsCollectionUri,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$feedName,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$packageVersion,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$packageQuality
)
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
[regex]$nameExpression = "(?<name>[^0-9]*)\."
$json = '{ "views": { "op":"add", "path":"/views/-", "value":"' + $packageQuality + '" } }'
Write-Verbose -Message $json
Get-ChildItem . -Filter *.nupkg | Foreach-Object {
$matches = $nameExpression.Match($_.Name)
$packageName = $matches.groups['name']
$requestUri = $tfsCollectionUri + "/_apis/packaging/feeds/$feedName/nuget/packages/$packageName/versions/$packageVersion" + "?api-version=5.0-preview.1"
Write-Verbose -Message $requestUri
$reponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $requestUri -UseDefaultCredentials -ContentType "application/json" -Method Patch -Body $json
Write-Verbose -Message "Response: '$reponse'"
}
The parameter packageQuality
should be e.g. "Release" or "Prerelease", without leading "@".
Many thanks to Shayki Abramczyk for the tip in the right direction.
