Description

Details

At the moment we have a dependencies field in the ISSUES TEMPLATES but we are not using it in the automation. To automate it we need to:

  • Modify the code in create_package_template.py to add the dependencies received as optional argument to the nuspec
  • Modify all the ISSUE TEMPLATES to improve the description of the dependencies field to ensure the format the user needs to use is clear

Research direction

Start with create_package_template.py and inspect how package arguments are passed into the nuspec. Then review all ISSUE TEMPLATES to identify the dependencies field descriptions. Done means the optional dependencies argument is included in the nuspec and each template clearly documents the required format.
