This PR was created automatically by the workflow run 21805884507.

This script updates NuGet package versions in the Directory.Packages.props file by querying the latest available versions and updating the Version attributes accordingly, while respecting the PreserveMajor attribute and pre-release version detection.

Pull request overview

Adds GitHub-based automation to update centrally-managed NuGet package versions, including a new workflow + PowerShell updater script, and applies the latest automated package updates in the repo’s Directory.Packages.props.

Changes:

Add a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow to run a package-version update script and open an automated PR.
Add a PowerShell script that scans Directory.Packages.props AutoUpdate groups and updates package versions via dotnet package search.
Update Directory.Packages.props (notably MSTest packages) and apply formatting/encoding changes produced by the script.

File	Description
Directory.Packages.props	Applies automated package version updates and rewrites formatting/encoding.
.github/workflows/package-update.yml	Introduces the scheduled workflow that runs the updater, commits, pushes, and opens a PR.
.github/scripts/Update-NuGetPackageVersions.ps1	Adds the updater implementation that searches and updates versions in the props file.

+    Write-Host "##[section]Saving $updateCount package updates to $propsFile"
+    $xml.Save($propsFile)
+    Write-Host "Successfully updated $updateCount packages"


Saving via XmlDocument.Save() is reformatting the props file (BOM, attribute spacing, etc.), which makes automated PRs much noisier than necessary. Consider updating only the Version attribute values in-place without reserializing the full XML (or use an XML writer/settings approach that preserves the original formatting/encoding).

+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


The file now starts with a UTF-8 BOM (the invisible character before <?xml ...?>) and the automation also rewrote many self-closing tags (spacing before />). This creates noisy diffs that are unrelated to the actual version bump; consider keeping the original encoding/formatting stable (e.g., ensure the update script preserves formatting and encoding).

+            echo "has-changes=false" >> $env:GITHUB_OUTPUT
+            exit 0
+          }


git diff --cached --quiet doesn’t produce output; in PowerShell the if (git diff --cached --quiet) condition won’t reflect the exit code, so this block won’t correctly detect the no-change case (and the workflow will attempt git commit and fail when there are no changes). Capture and check $LASTEXITCODE (0 = no changes, 1 = changes) instead.

+permissions:
+  contents: write
+  pull-requests: write
+


This workflow runs on pull_request but also creates and pushes branches and opens PRs. That combination can cause PR-triggered runs to create additional automation branches/PRs (or fail due to token restrictions) and adds unnecessary write permissions to PR runs. Consider limiting PR creation/push steps to schedule/manual triggers (e.g., remove pull_request trigger or add if: github.event_name == 'schedule' guards).

+            --label automation `
+            --assignee "${{ github.actor }}"


On schedule runs, github.actor is typically github-actions[bot], so --assignee "${{ github.actor }}" will assign the PR to the bot rather than a maintainer. Consider omitting the assignee, using a fixed assignee, or deriving it from CODEOWNERS/team config.

+        $nugetConfigPath = Join-Path $SourcesDirectory "NuGet.config"
+        $configSourceFlag = ""


The repo root contains NuGet.Config (capital C). This script falls back to NuGet.config, which will fail on case-sensitive filesystems (and won’t match the repo’s actual filename). Update the fallback path/message to use NuGet.Config.

+
+        Write-Host ("Searching for package: {0} {1}" -f $PackageId, ($MajorVersion ? ('(major version {0}.*)' -f $MajorVersion) : ''))


This uses the PowerShell 7+ ternary operator ($MajorVersion ? ... : ...). If this script is intended to be runnable from Windows PowerShell 5.1 as well (the examples imply it might), it will fail to parse. Either add a #requires -Version 7.0 (or #requires -PSEdition Core) to make the requirement explicit, or rewrite this expression using if/else.

Suggested change

Write-Host ("Searching for package: {0} {1}" -f $PackageId, ($MajorVersion ? ('(major version {0}.*)' -f $MajorVersion) : ''))

$majorVersionSuffix = ""

if ($MajorVersion) {

$majorVersionSuffix = '(major version {0}.*)' -f $MajorVersion

}

Write-Host ("Searching for package: {0} {1}" -f $PackageId, $majorVersionSuffix)
