Possible to install as NuGet package?

jonathanpmast opened this issue 5 years ago · 5 comments

Rather than have this be deployed via an exe/vsix, would it be possible to deploy this as a nuget package, similar to how the Monogame.Content.Builder nuget works?

I believe the package would just need an exe/dll and a targets file, very similar to how the monogame nuget files work

Curious if this has been explored at all? If not, maybe I'll take a shot at submitting a PR.

This seems to me like it would be a much simpler integration/installation story...

I've looked into that briefly. The main issue is that nuget needs to install .targets entry into .csproj BEFORE Pipeline tool's entry. Otherwise Nopipeline will not work properly. If you'll be able to somehow do it -- go ahead.

@jonathanpmast Just released v1.1. If you're gonna do anything, update your fork, I've changed pretty much the whole codebase.

Is it possible to use a .props file instead? .props files are imported before .target files https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/customize-your-build?view=vs-2019#choose-between-adding-properties-to-a-props-or-targets-file

Now Nopipeline is distributed entirely via nuget. It's not available right now, but will be in a couple of days.
