Azure Pipelines: "No packages matched the search pattern."

Question

I am writing a YAML pipeline that should publish a NuGet package.

When coming to the deployment job I get a warning: "No packages matched the search pattern." The package is there and it is confirmed by the log

Downloaded drop/PackageName.1.0.0.nupkg to d:\a\1\drop\PackageName.1.0.0.nupkg

and the variable packagesToPush is set to **/*.nupkg;!**/*.symbols.nupkg.

What am I missing here?

I also tried with different folders like $(Build.ArtifactgDirectory)/**/*.nupkg;!$(Build.ArtifactDirectory)/**/*.symbols.nupkg

Answer 1

After multiple attempts, this works:

'$(Pipeline.Workspace)/**/drop/*.nupkg'

Answer 2

You should use $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) instead of $(Build.ArtifactgDirectory).

$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/*.nupkg;!$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/*.symbols.nupkg

Answer 3

you have a typo in ArtifactgDirectory.

This answer isn't helpful because it doesn't point out the typo. Also, this question already has a satisfactory answer, so we should leave it alone unless there is something new to add (e.g. based on a new technology that changes the solution). – Whodunit

Answer 4

We are running on Windows agents and had to use backward slashes:

$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\**\*.nupkg

Answer 5

Today I checked and this is the only one that worked for me:

$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_ArtifactSourceAlias/drop/*.nupkg

Change _ArtifactSourceAlias with your project name.

Or see the below image to see where to find it. Source Alias Textbox

happy testing!!!

Answer 6

Pay attention to you back or forward slashes if you work with a linux vmImage

For me the problem was back slashes (Wrong path: '<path>\<project name>.csproj' for ubuntu-latest)

...
      vmImage: ubuntu-latest #Part of the problem

  - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
      inputs:
        command: 'restore'
        projects: '<path>/<project name>.csproj' #Correct! path for ubuntu-latest

I had this issue, but none of the above suggestions fixed it. In the end, my Copy Files step had Clean Target Folder = true.

Setting to False fixed it
