After Build step runs after nuget

I am using the publish_nuget setting to automatically create my nuget packages. I also have an after_build command. That command runs after the nuget pack commands. I would think that after_build would happen after the solution is compiled and before the nuget pack commands are run. I am trying to run the GitLink command before the nuget packages get built. Is there some way to run a command before the nuget packages get built and after the project is compiled without having to run all the build commands manually?

   Hi guys,

   There is no hook between building the solution and packaging nuget package, but you can just copy nuget package command and put it into aftre_build along with GitLink command. Then configure artifact to collect nuget package: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/packaging-artifacts

   Is there any chance that you could add support for this? You may even want to add 1st class support for GitLink. Being able to just say "publish_nuget" is really nice especially when we have like 10 nuget packages.

   We could really use this. It would really make GitLink support a lot easier.. Especially since we are having a ton of issues with deployments failing right now due to symbolsource (I thought you added the support to ignore symbols and to keep publishing nuget pakages)

   So, something like before_package step running after the project is built and before nuget or WAP are packaged would solve your needs? We won't be doing seamless integration with GitLink for now, so you have to provide your own command.

   Regarding SymbolSource (how is this related to GitLink?) - looks like they changed publishing endpoint while AppVeyor and nuget.exe use old one: http://tripleemcoder.com/2015/10/04/moving-to-the-new-symbolsource-.... Try specifying https://nuget.smbsrc.net as "Symbol server URL" on nuget deployment settings.

   Yes! before_package would be a huge help.

   Do you think you would be willing to add the before_package step?
