How to use nuget packages in azure devops?

Question

Im trying to setup a selenium testproject in azure devops, so i can run it in a pipeline.

I created a project in Visual Studio 2017 and everything works fine. When i try to publish my local code into the azure repository, it doesnt upload my nuget packages and selenium doesnt run without them. How can i solve this? I dont have access to Azure Artifacts btw

Im following these tutorials:

Answer 1

You need to either manually(via command line) or automatically (a pipeline) publish your Nuget package to Azure Artifacts. Checkout Publish a NuGet package.

Once you publish your Nuget package, you won't be able to change its version, or overwrite. Just take in mind.

As a workaround, you can set up self-hosted agent and use it to run the pipeline.

Then set the path to install the package to the path where the local package is located in the nuget.config file.

nuget.config reference
