'dotnet nuget push ...' doesn't seem to be pushing the symbols

Question

dotnet clean --configuration Debug
dotnet build --configuration Debug --version-suffix beta.12
dotnet pack --include-symbols --include-source --configuration Debug --version-suffix beta.12

So far so good - the above three commands produce two nice packages: xyz.2.1.2-beta.12.nupkg and xyz.2.1.2-beta.12.symbols.nupkg. But when I run the last command:

dotnet nuget push bin\Debug\ --source https://www.nuget.org

fails with these messages:

info : Pushing xyz.2.1.2-beta.12.nupkg to the NuGet gallery (https://www.nuget.org)...

info : PUT https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/

warn : This package will only be available to download with SemVer 2.0.0 compatible NuGet clients,such as Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.3) and above or NuGet client 4.3 and above. For more information,see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=852248.

So, it is obvious that pushing of the symbol package fails. This is happening with both dotnet nuget push... or nuget push... What seems to be the problem?

Answer 1

I've just had this issue and fixed it few minutes ago.

There is a new format for Symbols package which is .snupkg extension.

If you're using dotnet cli or nuget cli you can do the following:

Pack:

DOTNET CLI

dotnet pack MyAwesomeLib.csproj --include-symbols -p:SymbolPackageFormat=snupkg -c release

NUGET CLI

nuget pack MyAwesomeLib.nuspec -Symbols -SymbolPackageFormat snupkg

Publish:

DOTNET CLI

 dotnet nuget push MyAwesomeLib.1.0.0.nupkg -s https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -k ~~your API key here~~

NUGET CLI

nuget push MyAwesomeLib.1.0.1.nupkg -Source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -apikey ~~your API key here~~
