InstallPackageAsync not using DependencyBehavior

[ReinoutW]

When installing a package through the NuGet api, the DependencyBehavior doesn't seem to be applied on dependent packages.

On our private NuGet repository, we have a component with the following version numbers:

• 3.0.0-a0637958946
• 3.0.0-a0638256777
• 3.0.0-a0638871234

Another component has a dependency on this component, but always installs pre-release version 3.0.0-a0637958946 instead of using the highest version (or highest patch version).

We might do something wrong, but we can't find it.

        public async Task<PackageIdentity> InstallPackage(string packageId, string packageVersion, bool includePrerelease = true)
        {
            PackageIdentity identity = new PackageIdentity(packageId, NuGetVersion.Parse(packageVersion));
            if (identity != null && identity.HasVersion)
            {
                List<Lazy<INuGetResourceProvider>> resourceProviders = CreateResourceProviders();

                NuGetPackageManager packageManager = InitializeNuGetPackageManager(resourceProviders);

                ResolutionContext resolutionContext = new ResolutionContext(DependencyBehavior.Highest, includePrerelease, false, VersionConstraints.None);
                INuGetProjectContext projectContext = new ProjectContext();

                IEnumerable<SourceRepository> sourceRepositories = new List<SourceRepository>
                {
                    new SourceRepository(_packageSource, resourceProviders)
                };

                await packageManager.InstallPackageAsync(packageManager.PackagesFolderNuGetProject, identity, resolutionContext, projectContext, sourceRepositories,
                     Array.Empty<SourceRepository>(), CancellationToken.None);
            }
            return identity;
        }
