Update specific nugets to desired version using Cake

Question

I have a cake build which I am using to update Nugets like this

Task("Update-NuGet-Packages")
.Does(() =>
{
    NuGetUpdate(@"D:\FooBar\FooBar.sln");
});

This does update nuget to latest version in all solution projects but is there an option to pass package name and version, much like we do through package console

Update-Package NLog -Version 3.5.0

Answer 1

You can pass in a NuGetUpdateSettings into the second argument, this has a list of Ids to update:

Task("Update-NuGet-Packages")
.Does(() =>
{
    NuGetUpdate(@"D:\FooBar\FooBar.sln",
                new NuGetUpdateSettings(){
                       Id = new [] { "Newtonsoft.Json", "HumbleConfig" }
                     });
});

However, looking at NuGetUpdater there doesn't seem to be a way to pass in the version numbers. Doesn't look that hard to extend and I'm sure they'd be happy to accept a PR.
