Using PowerShell to Create, Publish, Read and Remove NuGet packages

I’ve created some simple functions to do these actions using the nuget.exe executable and put in a module. These can be also used to hook it up with the TFS build process as post-build scripts to publish the packages directly to NuGet server after a successful build.

Function Get-NugetPackages

{   

    param

    (

        [String] $Source = "http://prajeeshnuget.azurewebsites.net/nuget",

        [switch] $IncludePreRelease,

        [switch] $AllVersions,

        [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -PathType Leaf -Include "nuget.exe"})]

        [String] $NugetLocation = (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot "nuget.exe")

    )

    $command = $NugetLocation + " list "

    if(-not ([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($Source)))

    {

        $command += " -s "  + $Source

    }

    if($IncludePreRelease)

    {

        $command += " -Prerelease"

    }

    if($AllVersions)

    {

        $command += " -AllVersions"

    }

    Invoke-Expression $command

}

Function UnPublish-NugetPackage

{

    param

    (

        [string] $Source = "http://prajeeshnuget.azurewebsites.net",

        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)]

        [ValidateNotNull()]

        [switch] $PackageId,

        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 1)]

        [ValidateNotNull()]

        [switch] $Version,

        [string] $APIKey = "MYKEY",

        [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -PathType Leaf -Include "nuget.exe"})]

        [String] $NugetLocation = (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot "nuget.exe")

    )

    $command = $NugetLocation + " delete $($PackageId) $($Version) $($APIKey) -NoPrompt"

    if(-not ([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($Source)))

    {

        $command += " -s "  + $Source

    }

    Invoke-Expression $command

}

Function Publish-NugetPackage

{

    param

    (

        [string] $Source = "http://prajeeshnuget.azurewebsites.net",

        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)]

        [ValidateNotNull()]

        [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_})]

        [switch] $PackagePath,

       

        [string] $APIKey = "MYKEY",

        [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -PathType Leaf -Include "nuget.exe"})]

        [String] $NugetLocation = (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot "nuget.exe")

    )

    $command = $NugetLocation + " push $($PackagePath) $($APIKey)"

    if(-not ([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($Source)))

    {

        $command += " -s "  + $Source

    }

    Invoke-Expression $command

}

Function New-NugetPackage

{

    param

    (

        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)]

        [ValidateNotNull()]

        [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_})]

        [switch] $NuspecPath,

        [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -PathType Leaf -Include "nuget.exe"})]

        [String] $NugetLocation = (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot "nuget.exe"),

        [string] $OutputDirectory

    )

    $command = $NugetLocation + " pack $($NuspecPath)"

    if(-not ([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($OutputDirectory)))

    {

        $command += " -OutputDirectory "  + $OutputDirectory

    }

    Invoke-Expression $command

}
