I would like to use functionality contained in a nuget package in one of my octopus scriptcs deploy scripts. Is this possible, and if so, how?

If you want to invoke some code from dll contained in deployed NuGet packages, you can it in the following way: 1. Add your Octopus packages destination folder as a local NuGet repository to scriptcs. For that place in scriptcs folder nuget.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="LocalFeed"
         value="C:\Octopus\Packages\" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

  1. Run (from PowerShell for example) scriptsc -install <package_name>

  2. Then you can use libraries in your C# script:

    using MyLib;
Console.WriteLine("Hello");

  • I don't need to use a nuget package I've created, but one hosted on nuget in an octopus deploy script, is this still valid? – Chazt3n Mar 09 '16 at 15:07

There are a number of standard scripts you can add to your package, which will be executed during deployment:

  1. PreDeploy.<ext>
  2. Deploy.<ext>
  3. PostDeploy.<ext>
  4. DeployFailed.<ext>

These can be either PowerShell, ScriptCS, or Bash (subject to them running on the appropriate environment - Windows for PowerShell and ScriptCS or Linux for Bash).

You can read more about Custom Scripts on the Octopus Deploy website.

  • Right so here's what I'm doing now, In a ps script, I install chocolatey, cinst scriptcs, scriptcs -install ; Then I run a C# script attempting to use that package, to an explosion – Chazt3n Mar 09 '16 at 15:06
