Nuspec not being built

I have a valid nuspec file in the root of my GitHub repository and I've checked the "Package NuGet projects" option, however no matter what I try I can't seem to get a nupkg artifact to appear. What am I missing?

   Hi Nathan,

   Automatic NuGet packaging is built around VS project and the idea is that you have .nuspec file (with the same name as project) in the root of your project, not repo. This way AppVeyor could call nuget pack your-project.csproj to build a package.

   Otherwise, you can call nuget pack your-package.nuspec as a build script (or as part of after build scripts) to build a package.

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks, it sounds like I need to move to the scripting approach.

   When I moved my nuspec file into the directory with my project files, AppVeyor tried to build separate packages for all my projects rather than just building the single nuspec project. This is a problem because I have one project file for each target framework (eg, Net20, Net40, Portable, WinFX, etc, see here) that I need bundled into a single NuGet package. Right now my AppVeyor project builds are failing because all these separate NuGet packages files have the same file name.

   Anyway, there definitely needs to be more documentation around this functionality.

   Yeah, I agree it might be better using script approach to build multiple packages.
   ...and yes AV docs will be improved.
