NuGet package has no symbols - No symbols in this package have been indexed.

Command to build the NuGet package:

"C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" pack Q:\MyPackage\src\MyPackage.csproj --configuration Release --no-build --no-restore --no-dependencies --property:SymbolPackageFormat=snupkg --output Q:\MyPackage\result\nuget

Output:

15:52:05 [DBG]   Successfully created package 'Q:\MyPackage\result\nuget\MyPackage.9.2.4.183.nupkg'.
15:52:05 [DBG]   Successfully created package 'Q:\MyPackage\result\nuget\MyPackage.9.2.4.183.snupkg'.

Command to push the package to ProGet

15:52:05 [INF] > "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" nuget push Q:\MyPackage\result\nuget\MyPackage.9.2.4.183.nupkg --source https://proget:8624/nuget/MyFeed/

Output:

15:52:05 [DBG] warn : No API Key was provided and no API Key could be found for 'https://proget:8624/nuget/MyFeed/'. To save an API Key for a source use the 'setApiKey' command.

15:52:06 [DBG]   Created https://proget:8624/nuget/MyFeed/ 189ms
15:52:06 [DBG] Your package was pushed.

Command to push the symbols of the package (snupkg )

15:52:06 [INF] > "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" nuget push Q:\MyPackage\result\nuget\MyPackage.9.2.4.183.snupkg --source https://proget:8624/nuget/MyFeed/

ProGet shows No symbols in this package have been indexed. in the details of the package version under Symbols.
The symbol server for the feed is configured and set to Standard (.snupkg format)

I tried to change the order of the push commands => no change, still no symbols.
I tried to re-index the feed => no change, still no symbols.

ProGet shows no errors in the Diagnostic Center.

What can I do to troubleshoot this issue?

Hi @ds_6782 ,

If you haven't already ,I would make sure to check out the docs here:
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/feeds/nuget/symbol-and-source-server

The NuGet client will automatically push both packages when you issue the dotnet nuget push command. You do not need to push then separately.

It looks like, for whatever reason ,your NuGet client isn't doing that? We don't see this problem very often - it "just works" - and I'm not really an expert at troubleshooting NuGet client configuration.

But that's where I would start. It looks like the issue is on the client end, and somehow your clientis misconfigured to not push the source packages.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve

Thanks for your response.

I've read the documentation and for the client part I followed the Microsoft documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/create-packages/symbol-packages-snupkg

After some testing, I've found the problem:
I had to add /v3/index.json to the URL. Now the package and the symbols are pushed to the server.
The ProGet UI shows the correct URL under API endpoint URL:. I'm not sure why my build script was using the URL without v3. Maybe it was different in an older version of ProGet or I just made a mistake somewhere?

Interesting is that pushing "worked" when using the URL without v3 and v2 API disabled for the feed.
Maybe the client NuGet client contains some logic to only push the snupkg file when it detects a v3 source?
