Redoing release after release publish failed to build [Cake.Recipe]

[MihaMarkic]

I've tried to publish a release using standard Cake.Recipe procedure (creating draft release and then publish it) but the (appveyor) build failed for some reason.
How would I trigger publish again? Or do I have to increase the version?

If you delete the tag from the remote repository, the GitHub release will go back to draft, and then you should be able to Publish the release again.

Do you have a link to the failed build? What was the reason for the failure?

So, I am not entirely sure how this is happening, or why it is allowed to happen, but looking at the contents of the nupkg file, there is indeed multiple icon.png files:

This must be something that nuget.org is checking for, and it is preventing the upload of the file because of it.

To resolve this, you will need to remove the explicit reference to the icon.png file in the csproj file, and delete the file from disk:

Then, the CakeContrib.Guidelines package will do some magic (you would need to confirm with @nils-a about exactly how this works), and put the icon.png file into the package.

That should hopefully allow you to release.

This is strange, "normally" CakeContrib.Guidelines should not add a "second" icon. My first gut feeling is that PackagePath="\" throws off my detection logic, but I'll investigate.

As a quick workaround, you have two options:

use your icon

• Add <CakeContribGuidelinesIconOmitImport>True</CakeContribGuidelinesIconOmitImport> to a <PropertyGroup>
• This will manually disable the icon "magic" of CakeContrib.Guidelines.

use the CakeContrib.Guidelines icon

• remove the existing icon
• remove the Include of the icon from the project-file
• remove the PackageIcon from the project-file
• remove the PackageIconUrl from the project-file

@nils-a @gep13 Thanks guys, I went with the second approach and it published.

Glad to hear that you got it working! Let me know if you have any further questions!
