Build Private Application Insights Profiler NuGet Package
Overview
This skill builds private NuGet packages for the Application Insights Profiler SDK.
Two package flavors are available:
| Flavor | Package(s) | Script |
|---|
| Classic (ASP.NET Core / App Insights SDK) | Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Profiler.Core, Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Profiler.AspNetCore | src/ServiceProfiler.EventPipe/tools/PackNugetPackage.cmd |
| OTel (OpenTelemetry / Azure Monitor distro) | Azure.Monitor.OpenTelemetry.Profiler | src/ServiceProfiler.EventPipe.Otel/tools/PackSolution.ps1 |
Steps
- Ask the user which package to build if not specified:
- Classic (Application Insights Profiler ASP.NET Core)
- OTel (Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Profiler)
- Ask the user which configuration to use if not specified. Default to
Debug.
- Run the appropriate build script (see below).
- Check output for
Package succeeded :-) to confirm success.
- List the generated
.nupkg files by running Get-ChildItem on the output directories. Report the actual full paths from the listing. Do NOT infer filenames from build log timestamps — OTel and Classic builds may have different timestamps even when built together.
Classic Package
Run the build script:
cmd /c "C:\AIR\fork-otel-profiler\src\ServiceProfiler.EventPipe\tools\PackNugetPackage.cmd <Config>"
- First arg (required):
Debug or Release
- Second arg (optional): package type suffix, defaults to
private
- Third arg (optional): rebuild,
TRUE (default) or FALSE
OTel Package
Run the build script (requires PowerShell 7+):
& "C:\AIR\fork-otel-profiler\src\ServiceProfiler.EventPipe.Otel\tools\PackSolution.ps1" -Configuration <Config>
-Configuration: Debug or Release (default: Release)-PackageType: package type suffix (default: private)-Rebuild: switch to force a rebuild-VersionSuffix: optional custom version suffix
Output Locations
Classic
- With symbols:
src/ServiceProfiler.EventPipe/Out/Nuget/
- Without symbols:
src/ServiceProfiler.EventPipe/Out/NugetNoSymbols/
OTel
- NuGet packages:
Out/NuGets/
Version Format
99.YYYY.MMDD.HHmm-<packageType>YYMMDDHHMM
Troubleshooting
- If
PackUploader.cmd fails (Classic), check that the uploader projects build successfully.
- If NuGet pack fails with missing properties, verify
NuspecProperties in the csproj
include all variables referenced in the .nuspec files.
- OTel pack requires PowerShell 7+. Run
pwsh --version to verify.
