TeamCity only publishing 1 package to NuGet feed when it should be publishing 4

Question

We have a build configuration that contains four NuGet Pack build steps. Each step creates a nuget package as an artifact, in which each package should get published to the nuget feed hosted by TeamCity.

For up to 59 versions of these files, this has worked fine, however suddenly, on the 60th build, its now only publishing 1 of the 4 packages.

Below is a screenshot of the 'Nuget Packages' tab on the latest succesful build:

Unfortunately the build history only shows the latest 5 builds, so I'm unable to show the result of the build that did produce the 4 packages.

Below is a partial of the build log for the build configuration - it contains the log for the package that does get published and another for one that doesn't:

When I looked at the build log for the successful build, it looked exactly the same.

Note: Not sure why it's warning about the the dll not being inside the 'lib' folder, because it's in lib\net45\, and the dll does get referenced when the package is installed.

Any ideas why TeamCity might suddenly only publish the one package rather than all four?

We're using TeamCity Professional 2018.1 (build 58245)

I'm seeing the same issues since 2018.1 (build 58245). I have spent ages investigating as to why my build were misbehaving.

For now I have had do condense all separate Pack steps into one.

The other workaround is to deselect the 'Publish created packages to build artifacts' tick box for each Pack step and then put all the publishing rules into the General Settings' 'Artifact paths' like so:

[publish output directory]/[my package].nupkg [publish output directory]/[my other package].nupkg

Hope this helps in the meantime until a fix is available.

TeamCity only publishing 1 package to NuGet feed when it should be publishing 4
