Use environment variable in version

I would like to bump versions only through AssemblyInfo.cs, therefore I would like to get AssemblyVersion with a PowerShell script and use it for both build version and NuGet package version.
Is it possible?

Here is my appveyor.yml:
version: $(PACKAGE_VERSION).{build}
configuration: Release
platform: Any CPU
before_build:
- cmd: nuget restore src/MySolution.sln -DisableParallelProcessing - ps: .\tools\setPackageVersionEnvVar.ps1 build:
project: src/MySolution.sln verbosity: minimal after_build:
- cmd: nuget pack src/MySolution/MyProject.csproj -Prop Configuration=Release -Prop Platform=AnyCPU artifacts:
- path: NLog.Targets.Syslog*.nupkg

   Hi Luigi,

   This is possible, however not exactly this way. Please see my notes/comments

   • Not sure where value of PACKAGE_VERSION variable is coming from.

   • In any case version: $(PACKAGE_VERSION).{build} will not work, because it is being set before build started and PACKAGE_VERSION variable at this moment does not even exist. To update build version, please use build worker API. Specifically command like Update-AppveyorBuild -Version "$env:PACKAGE_VERSION.$env.APPVEYOR_BUILD_NUMBER" should work.

   • To do AssemblyInfo patching you don't have to invent your own script, we have this feature fro you.

   • Side note: double check that your AssemblyInfo.cs contains AssemblyInformationalVersion tag, otherwise nuget versioning may not work as expected.

   Thanks!
   Ilya.
