Block package from download

[itadmin_9894]

Hi folks.
I would like to prevent the download of a package in one version or more. It does not work via the connector filter.
How do I do it correctly in version 24.0.27?
Best regards
Paddy

Hi @itadmin_9894 ,

Can you give us a few more details of what you're trying to do? A connector filter is intended to allow or block a package by name; it does not filter out versions.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi @stevedennis
THX for your feedback. I am happy to describe my problem in more detail. As you can see in the screenshot, I have created a filter that is supposed to block the nuget “FluentAssertion” from version 8.0.0.

In the package view you can see that no version >= 8.0.0 of FluentAssertions is stored in the cache:

Despite the filter, it is possible to obtain this package in VisualStudio:

I would like to prevent this. How is this possible?
Cheers Paddy

Hi Paddy,

Connector Filters allow/block packages by name (not version filters). The package name is FluentAssertions not FluentAssertions:>=8.0.0. So that's why it's not behaving as you expect.

Please see Dealing with Fluent Assertions License Changes in ProGet to learn more how to address this particular issue.

Thanks,
Steve
