AzureDevOps/VSTS Build - Could not find version number data in BUILD_BUILDNUMBER

Question

Setting up a simple class library to build and publish to VSTS\'s own feed, I see this error when the NuGet package runs.

Could not find version number da

Answer 1

If what you want is the major.minor.patch.unique-to-build then you use the Use the date and time option.

In yaml, the equivalent is

- task: NuGetCommand@2
  displayName: Pack
  inputs:
    command: 'pack'
    packagesToPack: '**/*.csproj'
    versioningScheme: 'byPrereleaseNumber'
    majorVersion: '1'
    minorVersion: '0'
    patchVersion: '0'
