Sonatype Nexus Support for NuGet packages with Semantic Versioning

I am trying to use semantic versioning with the new 'Class Library (Package)' project types using the .xproj file extension. The version numbers look like this:

1.0.0-54

Is this supported in Sonatype Nexus? I am currently getting this error when I try to do a nuget push to the Sonatype Nexus repository:

'1.0.0-54' is not a valid version string.

It should be noted that semantic versioning is a requirement for using these new project types and appending a build number to the end of the version number as outlined here.

Solution

  • This error is coming from nuget, not nexus. The pre-release string (the part after the dash) needs to start with a-z.

    See here.
