L⚠️ ◾ Add GitHub Actions workflow for package updates by neilr81 · Pull Request #794 · microsoft/Omex

neilr81 · 2026-02-07T14:08:37Z

This pull request introduces a new automated workflow for keeping NuGet package versions up to date. It adds a PowerShell script to scan and update package versions in the Directory.Packages.props file and a GitHub Actions workflow to run this script weekly and on pull requests to the main branch. The workflow commits any changes and opens a pull request automatically if updates are found.

Automation for NuGet package updates:

Added .github/scripts/Update-NuGetPackageVersions.ps1, a PowerShell script that:
- Scans Directory.Packages.props for PackageVersion entries in ItemGroups labeled AutoUpdate
- Checks for the latest available versions using dotnet package search
- Updates versions, respecting the PreserveMajor attribute and pre-release versions
- Supports verbose logging and error handling suitable for CI environments

GitHub Actions workflow for scheduled and PR-based updates:

Added .github/workflows/package-update.yml to:
- Run weekly (every Monday at 6:00 UTC)
- Temporarily for checkout code to test the new workflow, install dependencies, run the update script, and create a new branch/commit if changes are detected
- Open a pull request automatically with the updates and assign it to the triggering user

…in dotnet args (#833) * Initial plan * Fix Get-LatestPackageVersion to correctly use prerelease and configfile args Co-authored-by: neilr81 <49037171+neilr81@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: neilr81 <49037171+neilr81@users.noreply.github.com>

.github/scripts/Update-DotNetSdkVersions.ps1

.github/scripts/Update-NuGetPackageVersions.ps1

Introduce an optional NugetConfigPath parameter to Update-NuGetPackageVersions.ps1 and Update-DotNetSdkVersions.ps1 so the scripts can use a configurable NuGet config file (default: NuGet.Config). Update verbose messages and warnings to reference the chosen config path and simplify config selection logic to prefer the provided config name. Update the package-update GitHub Actions workflow to pass NuGet-GitHub.Config to both scripts and switch actions/setup-dotnet to use the repository global.json (global-json-file) instead of a hardcoded dotnet-version.
