YAML Nuget restore

Question

Trying to create a build configuration in Azure DevOps, using the new YAML build feature, however I can't seem to get NuGet restore to work when referring to a NuGet.config file (places in the root of my projectfolder)

In my YAML build file I have:

- task: NuGetCommand@2
  displayName: 'NuGet restore'
  inputs:
    restoreSolution: '$(Parameters.solution)'

    feedsToUse: config

    nugetConfigPath: 'NuGet.config'

In my log I get the following:

I've tried using

    nugetConfigPath: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)\\NuGet.config'

instead, with the same result

Any ideas on how to get NuGet restore to work with a NuGet.config file?

Answer 1

I've figured it out, the NuGet task needs to be changed to:

- task: NuGetCommand@2
  displayName: 'NuGet restore'
  inputs:
    restoreSolution: '**\*.sln'

    feedsToUse: config

    nugetConfigPath: 'NuGet.config'

(The only thing which needed changing is restoreSolution.)

Answer 2

I also ran into this. I added the nuget.config to the solution(like any other class or interface) and it needed to be added where the .sln file was located.

e.g. If you didn't click the "Place solution and project in same directory" check box on project creation. Move the nuget.config one level up in your project.
