Modify nuget package version before build

We are using Selenium and Chromedriver for unit testing and locally have the latest Chrome installed, currently 78, but the appveyor build images only support up to 77. I am trying to find a way to have the Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver nuget package downgraded before the build process so that we don't have to worry about the package versions locally.

Microsoft has the Update-Package powershell cmdlet but its only available from the nuget console. Is there a way to run nuget console commands in the build process? Or another way to accomplish what I am trying to do? Preferably without doing like a manual string replace on the packages.config and .csproj.

    Sure, you can use nuget command line client which is pre-installed on build VMs. Also, you can upgrade Chrome to the latest version with Chocolatey: choco install googlechrome.

    Btw, we've just deployed updated build VM images with the latest Chrome 78 installed.

    Thanks!

    Where can those commands be run from? The "before build script" as Cmd or?

    Yep...and as I previously noted we've updated build images with the latest Chrome.
