Publish generated NuGet Packages with TFS 2015 RC

I am trying to set up an automatic build.vnext process for TFS 2015. This build process contains one Visual Studio Build build step, in which a .nupkg package file is created in the build agent's bin/Debug and bin/Release directories.

I have a private NuGet-Server installed on the same server as the build agents are running on. I want to copy the generated .nupkg files from the bin-directories to my NuGet-Server's package-source-folder (say C:\Packages).

How can I do this with TFS 2015 Build.Vnext/Preview?

Edit: I can easily copy all build output from the agents to the package folder by configuring the Visual Studio Build options "Copy to Staging Folder" Search Pattern to **/bin/*. This copies the folders myProject\bin\Debug and myProject\bin\Release folders and their contents to the package folder.

If I specify e.g. **/bin/**/*.nupkg or similar, nothing is copied, even though a respective *.nupkg file exists.

I found a solution to this problem:

  1. Under Options set Copy to Staging Folder of the Visual Studio Build-Configuration to true.
  2. Use the search pattern **\bin*
  3. Add a Command Line utility definition.
  4. Let it execute C:\YourPathTo\nuget.exe with the arguments push C:\YourStagingPath**\bin***.nupkg -s [YourServer] [YourAPIKey]

Done.
