I have project that references a nuget package. Here is a snippet from .csproj file:
<RestorePackagesWithLockFile>true</RestorePackagesWithLockFile>
...
<PackageReference Include="MyPackage" Version="1.*" />
Now after the restore the lock file is created and a version is locked, e.g. 1.0.1. What I want to do now is to force to reevaluate floating version after I publish a new package. I did not manage to achieve that, whatever I call, the version stays the same. This is what I tried, but to no avail:
dotnet restore -f --force-evaluate --no-cache
I use Rider and tried to do that in the GUI by clicking restore there. It does work but not at once, I have to wait some time before a new version is detected until it's getting restored. I did not manage to figure out what command Rider issues to do the update or why it does not work at once.
Apparently deleting of the packages.lock.json works just fine, but it's hardly a very good solution, so I still hope for a better answer.
