Raw Blame History

Spec Name

  • Status: In Review
  • Author(s): Martin Ruiz
  • Issue: 4699 dotnet add package - support for NuGet "Pre" version

Problem Background

Customers want to add the latest version of a package to their project, even if the latest version is prerelease.

Who are the customers

All dotnet.exe customers

Goals

Allow dotnet CLI users to install the latest version of a NuGet package, including prerelease versions. This can be accomplished by adding an option to the existing command add package that enables installing the last version, including prerelease versions.

Non-Goals

Solution

Add the option --prerelease in the command add package. This command will get the latest version of the package available even if it is not a stable version.

When searching for the latest version available, only listed packages will be considered.

Scenarios

Command Available Versions Output Version Description
dotnet.exe add Contoso.Library Contoso.Library 2.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.3.1-preview.3
3.0.0 latest stable version of package
dotnet.exe add Contoso.Library --prerelease Contoso.Library 2.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.3.1-preview.3
3.3.1-preview.3 latest version of package
dotnet.exe add Contoso.Library --prerelease --version 3.0.0 Contoso.Library 2.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.3.1-preview.3
error The user cannot use the --prerelease and --version commands at the same time
dotnet.exe add Contoso.Library Contoso.Library 2.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.3.1-preview.3
Contoso.Library 3.4.0
3.4.0 latest stable version of package
dotnet.exe add Contoso.Library --prerelease Contoso.Library 2.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.0.0
Contoso.Library 3.3.1-preview.3
Contoso.Library 3.4.0
3.4.0 latest version of package

Future Work

  • When the design has been approved, we will create an issue with the dotnet.exe team

Open Questions

  • Do we need to add a shorthand version for prerelease? --p

Considerations
