Jenkins Nuget Package Build Script

Here is a powershell build script for creating NUGET packages on a Jenkins Server.

I recently had to rewrite these due to moving Jenkins from one server to the next and went all out using variables defined.

Write-Host "This Script is for Compiling Nuget Packages"

# Print environment details
Write-Host "VERSION                : $env:VERSION"
Write-Host "WORK SPACE PATH        : $ENV:WORKSPACE"

$solutionName = $env:SLN_NAME
Write-Host "SOLUTION NAME          : $solutionName"
$solutionDir = $ENV:WORKSPACE
Write-Host "SOLUTION DIRECTORY     : $solutionDir"
$projectDir = "$ENV:WORKSPACE\$ENV:JOB_NAME"
Write-Host "PROJECT DIRECTORY      : $projectDir"

Write-Host "PROJECT NAME           : $ENV:JOB_NAME"

# Define flags for nuget operations (not currently utilized properly except for display)
$nugetPack = $true
Write-Host "NUGET PACK             : $nugetPack"

$framework = "net8.0"
Write-Host "TARGET FRAMEWORK       : $framework"

# Change to the $ENV:Workspace (ensure that we are in the workspace directory)
cd $ENV:Workspace
Write-Host "CURRENT DIRECTORY           : $ENV:Workspace"

# Define NUGET paths, csproject name and directory, and NUGET Server URL and API Key
$nugetEXE = D:\build_tools\"your nuget location"\nuget.exe
$csprojectPath = "$projectDir\$ENV:JOB_NAME.csproj"

Write-Host "Solution Path         : $slnPath"
