closes #13504

  • prerelease.nuget.org.yml writes the Bit.SourceGenerators package next to the others, so nupkg-files carries every package.
  • A new use-prerelease-packages action takes nupkg-files from the Prerelease nuget packages run that finished last and makes the project restore every Bit.* package from it. It adds the folder to the project's nuget.config, creating the file where there is none, and maps Bit.* to that folder only, since nuget.org has the same ids and versions. The folder is named through %BIT_PRERELEASE_PACKAGES% because the template renames "Boilerplate" wherever it appears in a file, paths included. The run's branch and commit go to the job summary and to a "Bit packages" notice.
  • All CD and the AdminPanel, Sales, Todo and platform website workflows get a prerelease_packages input, off by default. For the Boilerplate demos the action runs on the template before dotnet new, which restores the new project right away.

To try a library change on the demos, run Prerelease nuget packages on its branch, then All CD with prerelease_packages checked. Both branches have to be on the same version in Bit.Build.props; otherwise the action stops before it changes anything and names both versions.

Checked locally against the latest prerelease artifact: a project without nuget.config, one with bit11's nuget.config and one whose NuGet cache already had the nuget.org copy all restore Bit.Besql and Bit.Butil from the artifact and the rest from their usual sources. The packed template carries the nuget.config into a new project, whose first restore takes Bit.* from the artifact only. actionlint passes on the changed workflows.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Build workflows can now optionally use prerelease NuGet packages for the platform website, sales module demo, admin sample, and todo sample.
    • The option is available for manual and reusable workflow runs and is disabled by default, so existing builds continue using their current package sources unless enabled.
    • Prerelease package versions are reported in the workflow run summary when available.

Walkthrough

The change adds an action that configures projects to use packages from a successful prerelease NuGet workflow artifact. CD workflows can opt in to this setup. The prerelease workflow also outputs the SourceGenerators package to the artifact’s collection directory.

Changes

Prerelease package resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Publish and configure prerelease packages
.github/actions/use-prerelease-packages/*, .github/workflows/prerelease.nuget.org.yml
The SourceGenerators package is output to the workspace. The composite action selects the most recently updated successful run from up to 20 runs, downloads its nupkg-files artifact, removes matching cached package versions, and configures the artifact as the source for Bit.* packages. It reports package versions and run details in a GitHub notice and, when available, the step summary.

CD workflow integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expose the prerelease option in CD workflows
.github/workflows/all.cd.yml, .github/workflows/admin-sample.cd.yml, .github/workflows/platform.website.cd.yml, .github/workflows/sales-module-demo.cd.yml, .github/workflows/todo-sample.cd.yml
The workflows add a prerelease_packages input, defaulting to false. The top-level workflow forwards the option to reusable workflows. When enabled, build jobs run the action; the workflows add actions: read permission for artifact access.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6e4c8

The new prerelease option is off by default, so normal deployments are unaffected. When enabled, it can fail or still restore Bit packages from nuget.org in three cases: the latest prerelease packages come from a different branch, no successful run appears among the 20 most recent runs, or an existing NuGet source mapping takes precedence. It can merge with follow-up on these cases.

Review details

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/actions/use-prerelease-packages/action.yml: Added a composite action with project-folder and github-token inputs. It runs use-prerelease-packages.ps1, supplying the input folder, repository, and runner temporary package directory, with the token exposed as GH_TOKEN.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/actions/use-prerelease-packages/use-prerelease-packages.ps1: Adds a PowerShell 7.4 script with mandatory project-folder, repository, and package-folder parameters; terminating errors are enabled for PowerShell and native commands.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/actions/use-prerelease-packages/use-prerelease-packages.ps1: Selects the successful run with the greatest updatedAt among up to 20 listed runs. Throws if none exists, creates the package directory, and downloads that run’s nupkg-files artifact; download failures are rethrown with the run URL and error details.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/actions/use-prerelease-packages/use-prerelease-packages.ps1: Reads each downloaded nupkg’s top-level nuspec to obtain its ID and version, disposing the reader and archive afterward. Removes each package’s matching ID/version directory from NUGET_PACKAGES, or the default user NuGet cache when that variable is unset.

Check artifact versions against the CD checkout.

This selection uses the latest successful run across branches and commits. The script itself notes that package versions come from the selected run’s branch. If the CD checkout pins a different Bit.* version, the exclusive mapping added below prevents NuGet from obtaining that version from nuget.org. The opt-in build then fails; matching version numbers from different commits can instead select unintended binaries. Check the artifact IDs and versions against the checkout before changing its sources, or select a compatible run.

Search beyond the first 20 runs.

If the workflow has 20 recent unsuccessful runs, this query returns no successful run even when an older successful run has a usable artifact. The opt-in CD job then stops at Line 35. Filter for successful runs before applying a limit, and account for an older rerun if completion time must determine which run is latest. The CLI supports a success-status filter. (cli.github.com)

Remove competing mappings for Bit.*.

If nuget.config already maps a Bit package to another source, this branch keeps that mapping and adds Bit.* for bit-prerelease. An existing exact ID or longer prefix takes precedence; an equal pattern permits either source. Thus, a valid existing config can still restore Bit packages from nuget.org after this action reports that prerelease packages are active. Replace conflicting Bit mappings while retaining mappings for other packages. NuGet documents both pattern precedence and multi-source matches. (learn.microsoft.com)
