Nuget push to vso not listed

Question

I'm trying to push some historical packages to a nuget feed on visualstudio.com (vsts, vso) using Powershell.

The command is:

PS D:\> nuget.exe push -Source "VDS AppCore on VSO" -ApiKey VSTS d:\ActApps\Prescient\Source-Workflow\Prescient.RView\pa
ckages\VDS.AppCore.Core.1.5.3.142\VDS.AppCore.core.1.5.3.142.nupkg

The system claims this is working. This is the feedback I get:

Your package was pushed.

The first time I ran this there was a popup for login which succeeded. All subsequent calls claim the package was pushed.

I've pushed about 12 packages so far but none of them show in the list of packages on the vsts website.

Why are the packages pushed from the command not showing in the list of packages for the feed provided?

Answer 1

It is expected behavior if the pushed package version is older than the one already exist in the feed since VSTS only list the latest version of the package. If you want to check the historical versions, click on the package to open the package overview page and then click on the version, it will list the older packages.
