Description
When using a combination of Paket (for wix), and regular NuGet (for c#), I am noticing paket does not respect the minimum version run of the nuspec dependency versions. What ends up happening is it downloads the highest it can find.
Repro steps
Paket.dependencies file that looks like this:
source https://www.nuget.org/api/v2
source http://teamcity/guestAuth/app/nuget/v1/FeedService.svc
nuget PackageA 3.10.0
nuget PackageB ~> 1.0.0.0
nuget PackageC ~> 1.0.0.0
nuget PackagedD ~> 1.0.0.0
nuget PackageE ~> 2.11.997.0`
Nuspec that looks like this:
<id>PackageE</id>
<version>2.11.997.5</version>
<title>PackageE</title>
<authors>CompanyABC</authors>
<owners>CompanyABC</owners>
<requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>
<description>This is packageE</description>
<copyright>CopyrightInfo</copyright>
<dependencies>
<dependency id="PackageZ" version="1.0.0.11" />
<dependency id="PackageY" version="2.11.997.23" />
<dependency id="PackageX" version="2.11.997.23" />
<dependency id="PackageW" version="2.11.997.23" />
<dependency id="PackageV" version="1.5.997.94" />
</dependencies>
</metadata>
</package>`Expected behavior
I expect for paket.dependencies to find the highest version of PackageE within 2.11.997 as noted nuget PackageE ~> 2.11.997.0. This functions properly, however when it is pulling the dependencies from PackageE it does not respect the nuspec philosophy of Minimum version, inclusive with the notation provided.
Actual behavior
Paket pulls PackageE down with version 2.11.997.5 (correct).
Paket then tries to pull PackageE dependencies but pulls 2.11.998.276 (completely separate branch of code). It does that for the all of the dependencies.
LOG example:
Trying to resolve PackageZ >= 2.11.997.23 (from PackageE 2.11.997.5) 1> - fetching versions for PackageZ 1> getAllVersionsFromNugetODataFindById from url 'http://teamcity/guestAuth/app/nuget/v1/FeedService.svc/FindPackagesById()?id='PackageZ'' 1> - PackageZ 2.11.998.277 1> 6 packages in resolution. 8 requirements left 1> PackageX >= 2.11.997.23 (from PackageE 2.11.997.5) 1> - fetching versions for PackageX 1> getAllVersionsFromNugetODataFindById from url 'http://teamcity/guestAuth/app/nuget/v1/FeedService.svc/FindPackagesById()?id='PackageX'' 1> - PackageX 2.11.998.277
NOTE:
Above it's stating it's trying to resolve a package >= 2.11.997.23, however according to NuGet documentation Paket should resolve Less than or equal when no surrounding information is given. Ie. "2.11.997.23" means less than or equal and "[2.11.997.23]" exact match.
Known workarounds
Working on this, but I'm going to attempt to use the "[2.11.997.23]" notation to force an exact match, but I'm not sure how paket will treat that either.
