Gradle NuGet Plugin

This plugin allows to execute NuGet.exe from a gradle build. It also supports pack & push commands through built-in tasks, nugetPack, nugetPush & nugetRestore.

nugetPack

You can see this plugin being used for real on il-repack project. (together with msbuild one)

nugetSpec

The task is to generate nuspec file by custom configuration

- Sample usage:

buildscript {
    repositories {
      mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "com.ullink.gradle:gradle-nuget-plugin:2.5"
    }
}

apply plugin:'nuget'

nuget {
    // nuget.exe version to use, defaults to 3.2.0
    // available versions can be found [here](https://dist.nuget.org/index.html)
    version = '3.2.0'
}

nugetSpec {
    // Array, Map and Closure could be used to generate nuspec XML, for details please check NuGetSpecTest 
    nuspec = [
        metadata: [
            title:          'project title',
            authors:        'Francois Valdy',
            // id:          default is project.name
            // version:     default is project.version
            // description: default is project.description
            // ...
        ]
        files: [
            { file (src: 'somefile1', target: 'tools') },
            { file (src: 'somefile2', target: 'tools') }
        ]
    ]
}

nugetRestore

Nuget restore is used to retrieve missing packages before starting the build

- Sample usage:

nugetRestore {
    solutionDirectory = path\to\project
    packagesDirectory = location\for\package\restore
}

Where
 - solutionDirectory - could either contain the .sln file or the repositories.config file
 - packagesDirectory - used only if a folder with repositories.config is used
