Creating a NuGet package programmatically

Question

I am trying to create a basic NuGet package programmatically using Nuget.core API.

Firstly I populate Metadata and Files field of NuSpec manifest file:

Manifest nuspec = new Manifest(); //creating a nuspec

ManifestMetadata metaDataLocal = new ManifestMetadata()
{
    Authors = "mauvo",
    Version = "1.0.0.0",
    Id = "myPackageIdentifier",
    Description = "A description",
};

nuspec.Metadata = metaDataLocal; //populating nuspec's metadata

ManifestFile mf = new ManifestFile();
mf.Source = "bin\\Debug\\DX11VideoRenderer.dll";
mf.Target = "lib";

List<ManifestFile> listManifestFile = new List<ManifestFile>();

listManifestFile.Add(mf);
nuspec.Files = listManifestFile; //populating nuspec's Files field

Then I use package builder class to create the package and save it to the debug folder of my project:

PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder() 
{
    Id = "1",
    Description = "Some test package"
};

builder.Populate(nuspec.Metadata);

foreach (ManifestFile value in nuspec.Files)
{
    builder.PopulateFiles(value.Target, nuspec.Files);
    builder.Files.Add(new PhysicalPackageFile()
    {
        SourcePath = value.Target,
        TargetPath = @"lib\" 
    });
}

using (FileStream stream = File.Open("bin\\Debug", FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{
    builder.Save(stream);
}

I have hardcoded all the source paths, destination path, package info and metadata. But for some reason the package is not being created. Code runs without any errors.

Is is problem solved ?

I would guess it is probably being saved, but the file's name is Debug rather than x.nupkg.

using (FileStream stream = File.Open("bin\\Debug", FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
    builder.Save(stream);
}

Hi, sorry but that's not the problem. I tried both debug and dubug/a.nupkg
