Not able to disable caching of package versions from a NuGet feed. The default cache time is set to 30 minutes and I see no way to change this. I cannot find a setting for this and not really able to change it with a module given the way the existing implementation is written.
What is Expected?
I would expect to be able to immediately consume a package I am actively developing once I push it to my NuGet feed. As a work around, I have to explicitly specify the latest version number on the "load" directive, or wait up to 30 minutes.
What version of Cake are you using?
v0.30.0
Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?
64 bit
What environment are you running on? Windows? Linux? Mac?
Windows
Are you running on a CI Server? If so, which one?
No
How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)
Happens by default.
The problem occurs here:
In the Cake.NuGet.Install.NuGetPackageInstaller class. There is a field called "_sourceCacheContext" of type "NuGet.Protocol.Core.Types.SourceCacheContext" which sets a default cache time of 30 minutes.
In the NuGetPackageInstaller.GetNuGetVersion() method on line 195, the call to dependencyInfoResource.ResolvePackages() will returned a cached response within the 30 minute window. I can't find a way to make that not cache the response.
I tried to go down the path of creating a module with my own implementation of the "INuGetPackageInstaller" interface, but I still can't get to the setting in the _sourceCacheContext field to change the cache settings. No matter if I am extending or wrapping the default implementation of "NuGetPackageInstaller", I can't get to the code I would need to change. If at least the "GetNuGetVersion()" method wasn't private static, and was virtual, then I could extend the class to override that method and modify the "sourceCacheContext" parameter before passing it into the base call.

As a feature request
Could there be a setting added to set or disable the cache time?
Or could the code in the "NuGetPackageInstaller" class be modified to allow for more extensibility as I described above in the problem section?
