So I have an Azure Artifacts feed. This feed has some packages. One if it is Newtonsoft.Json lets say 10.0.4 version. The feed is set up with an upstream source for Nuget.
When I add this feed to my project, my expectation is that when I want to get NewtonSoft latest, I would be able to get it. However, in Visual Studio or Nuget Restore, it fails to see any other version. The only version it can see is 10.0.4. I am expecting that since I specified an upstream source, it would get the packages from upstream.
I tried unlisting the 10.0.4 version, now it says newton soft is not even found.
What am I missing? What could be going on here?
For me that was a problem with permissions to the Azure Artifacts package repo.
If you are part of a group which has "Reader" access to the Azure Artifacts package repository, your nuget restores or npm installs (for JavaScript packages) WILL NOT be able to add packages to the Azure Artifacts package repository mirror/proxy.
Set the permissions of your teams/people with access to the Azure Artifacts package repository one level higher than "Reader" - set them to "Collaborator":
This is an error that's easy to miss since if you are the Artifacts package repo creator, you won't get any access errors other people might be having because you're the owner of the repo (in the picture below I'm Artur)
Once you've enabled an upstream source, any user connected to your feed can install a package from the remote feed, and your feed will save a copy.
If you add your Artifacts feed in the Package sources in Visual Studio. When you search for package NewtonSoft within your artifact feed in Visual Studio. It is the default behavior that you can only see the saved copy of package NewtonSoft.
To install the NewtonSoft latest, you can search and install it in the nuget.org package source(You need to add nuget.org to Package sources if it is not listed in the package source list )
Or you can use command line to install the NewtonSoft latest by specifying the version parameter. See below:
Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json -Version 12.0.3
You can also directly add NewtonSoft latest version as package dependency to your project by editting .csproj or package.config file. When you restore your packages. if the NewtonSoft latest is not found in your Artifacts feed, it will be downloaded from the upstream source.

We recently moved up to TFS 2017 and I'm trying to get our existing builds transitioned from XAML based ones to the new build system. This is all behind the corporate firewall.
My test project (dotNet Core) was failing with the error...
Assets file '<snip>project.assets.json' not found. Run a NuGet package restore to generate this file.
...so I added a Nuget Restore step to the build. This resulted in the following error appearing in the build log...

Finishing: NuGet restore
<snip>
However, checking with both Fiddler and the network people, there is no (relevant) network activity from the box at the point that it waits about 30 seconds, at the point shown.
Clearly the Nuget Restore step is attempting to access the internet but is unable to due to it being unable to access the proxy (we had a similar issue initially setting up the build server) rather than it being blocked which would show in the network logs.
If I remote to the build server and login using the same credentials as the build service I can successfully use VS to build the test project on the box, but it is obviously using the IDE config file(s) to get to the proxy. I have configured the proxy in both the devenv.exe.config and the %appdata%\NuGet\NuGet.Config .
Can anyone suggest where else I can set it so that the Nuget Restore step can find it and use it, please?
Try the steps below on your build agent machine:
download the command line version of nuget
add it to the path env var
nuget.exe config -set http_proxy=http://proxy:port
nuget.exe config -set http_proxy.user=Domain\Username
nuget.exe config -set http_proxy.password=myPassword
Update:
The project.assets.json file maintains a project's dependency graph when using the PackageReference management format, which is used to make sure that all necessary packages are installed on the computer. Because this file is generated dynamically through package restore, it's typically not added to source control. As a result, this error occurs when building a project with a tool such as msbuild that does not automatically restore packages.
In this case, run msbuild /t:restore followed by msbuild, or use dotnet build (which restores packages automatically).

I have a solution building as part of continuous integration, with a step to push a class library out to my VSTS package feed. This worked the first time the CI build ran and created the package. The second time it shows it was successful, but a new version doesn't exist or any sign of a new package.
Prior to the second build, I promoted the package to #release, if that makes a difference?
Output of the CI build for NuGet push is below:

UPDATE
The Nuget Pack option was to use automatic package versioning based on date & time.
The package doesn't appear in the NuGet gallery along side the others, which is also odd.
I don't know why this was happening, but what now works is:
Remove package from feed
Change the Nuget Pack Automatic package versioning from date & time to build number, using the Build Number Format (under Options): '$(BuildDefinitionName)_$(Year:yyyy).$(Month).$(DayOfMonth)$(Rev:.r)'
On NuGet Push, I also had to check the box Allow duplicates to be skipped
Packages now publish every time and also appear in the NuGet gallery.
It seems you have publish the package WAGR2.DAL.1.0.0-CI-20170724-104834.nupkg successful to your VSTS feed. So please find the package with below steps：
In you VSTS feed, set Release view to All.
Find the package WAGR2.DAL and click it.
If you have the package version as WAGR2.DAL.1.0.0, it will be treated as the latest version. And you can find the version 1.0.0-CI-20170724-104834 in drop down list.
I was wondering if there is a way to create one nuget package for multiple version of an assembly (i.e. dll v1.0.0 and dll v1.0.1), so that each version will show in the version drop down option in nuget? Or will I have to create separate packages for each version?(which is what I've have so far)
Thank you
How to set up nuget versions for multiple environment. Guess the nuget versions in your question stands for the package version not the version of nuget.exe such 3.3, 3.5 , 4.0. If it stands for nuget.exe version, have no idea why you need to use different nuget.exe versions for multiple environment.
You could version the packages as you need. A way to cross multiple environments is setting up 3 different NuGet repositories such as:
Development repository: A file share that all developers have read-only access to. The file share has a space for NuGet packages
and one for the matching NuGet symbol packages. Only the build server
(and the build engineers) have write access to this repository.
QA repository: Another file share similar to the Development repository.
Production repository: A private instance of the Klondike NuGet server which serves as the NuGet and symbol server for all NuGet
packages (and their sources) which are allowed to be used in
production builds.
More details please refer this similar question: NuGet Server for multiple enviornments?
I used NuGet to add CastleWindsor to a project. Eveything works ok.
When I check it into tfs, I get the following message.
Unable to find version '3.3.3' of package 'Castle.Core'.
Any idea how I can get the build server to get the new version of Castle.Core?
First just as Dave commented, please check if you have add the nuget install task in your build definition and before your build task.
Also make sure you are using the right version of Nuget. For example, if you already use V3.0 and the config file are still point to V2.0. You will get this error.
Moreover, double check if the packages can be restored successfully on you dev PC and build agent manually, you can also compare the nuget.config file on your TFS server and dev PCs to see if there is any difference between them. The nuget.config file locates at "%APPDATA%\NuGet\NuGet.Config".
TFS2012 does not restore the nuget packages automatically, you need to add a build step to call the nuget command to restore the nuget packages. Refer to this link for details: Package Restore with Team Foundation Build.
With TFS 2013 and later, packages are automatically restored by
default during build, provided that you're using a Team Build Template
for Team Foundation Server 2013 or later.
If you're using a previous version of build templates (such as in a
project that's been migrated from earlier versions of TFS), you'll
need to also migrate those build templates to TFS 2013. This
essentially means recreating the custom parts of the Build Templates
using the appropriate template for your source control (TFVC or Git).
For earlier version of TFS, you can simply include a build step to
invoke command-line restore as described earlier.
We have a large number of solutions in our source control, which all use NuGet packages from a custom source (http://nugetserver/nuget). All solutions restore and build successfully locally within Visual Studio.
Using the new TFS 2015, our build definition looks like this:
The NuGet Installer step is there for us to restore our packages from a custom resource:
There is however no NuGet.exe file in the custom NuGet server directory. As suggested here tried just setting the -source to "https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/". We receive the same error at build whichever source we use:
You're specifying a command line argument in the "Path to NuGet.exe" field. That field should be used if you want to use a different version of NuGet than the one that's baked into the build agent.
What you need to do to solve your problem is:
Add your custom NuGet server to the machine's NuGet.config
or
Add your custom NuGet server to the application's NuGet.config.
See the NuGet docs for more info.
You're specifying the command line in the wrong field. That field is to use different version of NuGet.exe. You need to put your command in the NuGet Arguments field.
Additionally you might want to also add the default NuGet Feed to the available sources like this:
-source "https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/;http://nugetserver/nuget"
