how version is created

[asulwer]

@RenanCarlosPereira

the version is created manually. i would like to change how it is generated. example 7.0.(build date)

[RenanCarlosPereira]

Once you push a tag it creates the version automatically. We can change it in the workflows

[asulwer]

i meant in the project file

Hi @asulwer, need more information on this requirement, do you wish to use the project version below and append the build date as the package version?

[asulwer]

@samabos i have a solution to this, just have not implemented it yet. i created a separate project which sets the version number automatically.

namespace VersionTask
{
    public class VersionTask : Task
    {
        [Required]
        public string FileName { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public string Version { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public string Attributes { get; set; }

        public override bool Execute()
        {
            bool bFlag = false;

            try
            {
                if (File.Exists(FileName) && Attributes.Contains(':'))
                {
                    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
                    doc.Load(FileName);
                    Log.LogMessage($"Loaded File: {FileName}");

                    XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;

                    foreach (string attr in Attributes.Split(':'))
                    {
                        root.SelectSingleNode($"/Project/PropertyGroup/{attr}").InnerText = Version;
                        Log.LogMessage($"Edited Node: {attr}");
                    }

                    doc.Save(FileName);
                    Log.LogMessage($"Saved File: {FileName}");

                    bFlag = true;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Log.LogErrorFromException(ex, true);
            }

            return bFlag;
        }
    }
}

You don’t need to create a side project just to handle versioning in GitHub Actions for your .csproj and NuGet package. You can integrate versioning directly into your existing project by updating the .csproj file dynamically during your CI/CD pipeline.

actually its already like that, check the pipeline

we could remove the version from the csproj if needed

@RenanCarlosPereira another project of mine, not on github, i use a separate project to adjust the version number. i provided the code here from that project
