Description

Steps

  1. Create a .nuspec on disk.
  2. Make sure there are some files to pack (nuget.exe pack won't make an empty package).
  3. Run nuget.exe pack path\to\my.nuspec -symbols -suffix beta

Expected

Two nupkgs, one ending in beta.nupkg and the other ending in beta.symbols.nupkg.

Actual

The symbols package's file name has the version number without the suffix. The .nuspec inside the package seems fine though.

Example

nuget.exe pack VS.Redist.NuGet_VS15.nuspec -symbols -suffix BETA

Attempting to build package from 'VS.Redist.NuGet_VS15.nuspec'.
Successfully created package 'C:\Users\jver\Desktop\foo\VS.Redist.NuGet_VS15.3.5.160923.1438-BETA.nupkg'.
Successfully created package 'C:\Users\jver\Desktop\foo\VS.Redist.NuGet_VS15.3.5.160923.1438-bar.symbols.nupkg'.

Tried on latest dev and 3.5.0-rc1.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided nuget.exe pack ... -symbols -suffix BETA command and compare the two generated filenames. Trace the pack and symbols-package naming path used by this command; done means both output packages retain the suffix, including the .symbols.nupkg file.
