How to build NuGet client tools

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2017 with following workloads:
  • .NET desktop development
  • Visual Studio extension development.
  • .NET Core Cross Platform Development
• Windows 10 SDK
• Git
• Windows Powershell v3.0+

Steps to build NuGet client tools

1. Clone NuGet/NuGet.Client repository

   git clone https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client

2. Start PowerShell. CD into the cloned repository directory.

3. Run configuration script

   .\configure.ps1

4. Build with

   .\build.ps1 -SkipUnitTest

   Or Build and Unit test with

   .\build.ps1

5. Run all test-suites if inside Microsoft corpnet

   .\runTests.ps1

In case you have build issues try cleaning the local repository using git clean -xdf and retry steps 3 and 4.

Notable build.ps1 switches

• -SkipUnitTest - skips running unit tests.
• -Fast - runs minimal incremental build. Skips end-to-end packaging step.

Reveal all script parameters and switches by running

Get-Help .\build.ps1 -detailed

Build artifacts location

• $(NuGetClientRoot)\artifacts\VS15 - this folder will contain the Package Manager extension (NuGet.Tools.vsix) and NuGet command-line client application (nuget.exe)
• $(NuGetClientRoot)\artifacts\nupkgs - this folder will contain all our projects packages
