Unable to Push GitHub Package for Nuget

Question

I followed all guidance so as to be able to push a nuget package of my class library into my private GitHub repository.

I added the following to my csproj

<PropertyGroup>
       <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
       <PackageId>NextWareProductPortalClientServices</PackageId>
       <Version>1.0.1</Version>
       <Authors>CodeGenerator</Authors>
       <Company>NextWare</Company>
       <PackageDescription>This package adds gRPC client library for the NextWare ProductPortal 
       </PackageDescription>
       <RepositoryUrl>https://github.com/NextWareGroup/PPD</RepositoryUrl>
 </PropertyGroup>

I added the following nuget.config file to the root of the project..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <packageSources>
        <clear />
        <add key="github" value="https://nuget.pkg.github.com/jkears/index.json" />
    </packageSources>
    <packageSourceCredentials>
        <github>
            <add key="Username" value="jkears" />
            <add key="ClearTextPassword" value="******6d5a57b7527dfcc646b62ca7d1*****" />
        </github>
    </packageSourceCredentials>
</configuration>

The Personal Token has all permissions applied.

After running the dotnet cli to create the package I see the package in the bin\release folder. Then I attempt to run the following command...

dotnet nuget push "bin/Release/NextWareProductPortalClientServices.1.0.1.nupkg" --source "github"

The output is as follows;

warn : No API Key was provided and no API Key could be found for 'https://nuget.pkg.github.com/jkears'. To save an API Key for a source use the 'setApiKey' command.

I have researched this issue but none of the reported fixes work for me, including running directly from Nuget CLI.

Answer 1

While not the answer I was able to push the nuget package using the following curl command..

curl -vX PUT -u "[OwnerName]:[PersonalToken]" -F [email protected] https://nuget.pkg.github.com/jkears/

I am not sure why the DotNet CLI does not work, but the above does which is all I need.

Answer 2

I encountered this issue as well and it happens consistently with relatively large packages (in my case about 3.4MB). I conclude it's an issue with dotnet nuget. Strangely the problem does NOT happen to the standalone Nuget client (downloaded at https://www.nuget.org/downloads), or as you already knew, crafting a PUT request using curl or a HTTP client.

This is the nuget command that successfully upload the package:

nuget push -Source "github" -SkipDuplicate $file.FullName

I reported the issue here.
