I am creating a NuGet package for a C# class library, and I would like to include generated Xml Documentation with the library. This is my nuspec file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><package><metadata><id>MyLibrary</id><version>1.0.0.0</version><authors>John Nelson</authors><language>en-US</language><description>A C# class library</description></metadata><files><file src="..\..\build\MyLibrary.dll" target="lib\Net40" /><file src="..\..\build\MyLibrary.xml" target="lib\Net40" /></files></package>
When I build the package with this command:
nuget pack MyLibrary.nuspec
It generates an error. If I remove the line:
<file src="..\..\build\MyLibrary.xml" target="lib\Net40" />
NuGet.exe successfully creates the nupkg. I can even unzip the package, and verify that the contents are correct. What am I doing wrong? Should the xml file go into a different target directory?
