| The DotNet Pack action in Continua CI is a wrapper around the .Net Core command line tools. If you're having trouble using the DotNet Pack action, please refer to the .NET Core Command Line Tools documentation. |
The DotNet Pack action is used to create NuGet packages from .Net Core projects.
DotNet Pack
Name
A friendly name for this action (will be displayed in the actions workflow area).

Using
The Using drop down is populated with any property collector whose namespace matches the pattern defined by the DotNet CLI Actions. The pattern for this action is ^DotNet.Cli.*
If you create a property collector for this action, make sure you select the Path Finder PlugIn type and give it a name that will match the pattern above in blue. Example names listed here, search the table's Plugin column for "DotNet Pack".
For more in-depth explanations on property collectors see Property Collectors.
Alternatively, you can select the Custom option from the Using drop down list and specify a path in the resulting input field that will be displayed. Please read Why it's a good idea to use a property collector before using this option.
