Detailed repro steps so we can see the same problem

Running the following action:

name: Publish pre-release

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  publish-lib:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Publish OpenAPI Diff Action tool to nuget
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0 # avoid shallow clone so nbgv can do its work.
      - name: Setup nbgv
        uses: aarnott/[email protected]
      - name: Create the package
        run: dotnet pack --configuration Release
      - name: Add GPR Source
        run: dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.pkg.github.com/yaos/index.json --name GPR --username fabich --password ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} --store-password-in-clear-text
      - name: Publish the package
        run: dotnet nuget push *.nupkg --skip-duplicate --source GPR
        working-directory: ./src/yaos.OpenAPI.Diff/nupkg

Workaround

- name: Publish the package
        run: |
          until dotnet nuget push *.nupkg --skip-duplicate --source GPR; do echo "Retrying"; sleep 1; done
        working-directory: ./src/yaos.OpenAPI.Diff/nupkg

There is a similar issue #8580 that has been closed but I don't think that the suggested workaround works.

Please refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57889719/how-to-push-nuget-package-in-github-actions for how to configure this.

I have a similar issue where push to GPR seems to be randomly failing. Our authentication is defined in a nuget.config file in the root of the project repository. Our build only runs on Windows.

lang=xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <packageSources> <add key="github" value="https://nuget.pkg.github.com/<org>/index.json" /> </packageSources> <packageSourceCredentials> <github> <add key="Username" value="Github CI" /> <add key="ClearTextPassword" value="%GITHUB_TOKEN%" /> </github> </packageSourceCredentials> </configuration>

@zkat I'm still running into the same issue with the solution you suggested.

warn : Your request could not be authenticated by the GitHub Packages service. Please ensure your access token is valid and has the appropriate scopes configured. Unauthorized https://nuget.pkg.github.com/<corp>/ 451ms error: Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Unauthorized).

may I kindly ask you to reopen this issue?

@ZEisinger maybe this is something you know more about?

I am having this same problem. I spent a good chunk of yesterday afternoon trying to get my nuget package to push to GPR. I followed all the instructions and set the parameters for the setup-dotnet action task as seen in all the documentation. I finally got one successful push this morning, but the only thing I changed between success and the previous failure was adding a step to list the directory contents. (That was just an attempt on my part to make sure I was understanding the working directory correctly since github actions are new to me.)
When it fails, the error message I receive is:

An error was encountered when fetching 'PUT https://nuget.pkg.github.com/d2asolutions/'. The request will now be retried.
An error occurred while sending the request.
  The response ended prematurely.

I see this three times.
This is just a simple dotnet library package build that I'm trying to move from Azure pipelines to github actions. I've been wondering if I should try to use Azure artifacts instead of GPR to eliminate this pain point. Any suggestions as to what might be going on?

Hi @egeyer
sorry, only saw your answers just now.

GitHub Developer Support suggested using the following .net core tool:

See my response from GitHub Enterprise Support on how they're recommending we navigate this issue!

Hi @fabich,

You should find the following will publish consistently:

dotnet nuget push *.nupkg --skip-duplicate --api-key ${{ github.token }} --source https://nuget.pkg.github.com/yaos

Support for the dotnet nuget push --api-key option has now been added to GitHub Packages. For some reason this works consistently, but using basic auth (password in nuget.config file) fails randomly!
