Team Services: Nuget Packager task failing - azure-devops

I have a Build definition in Team Services that includes a Nuget Packager task. I'm using Hosted build agents.In the last couple of builds this task began to fail, with the following message:

In order to understand what was happening, I tried to create the package in my development box, using NuGet version 3.3, and got a similar message. So, I've updated NuGet to version 3.5, tried to pack in my machine and it worked just fine.So, my questions are:
Is there any kind of configuration in Team Services Build Definition
that can be done to solve this issue?
How can I force the Hosted build agent to use version 3.5 in the
NuGet Packager task?

To use nuget3.5 for nugget packager task, you can add nugget.exe to source control, and then use $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\nuget.exe as path to nugget.exe.
For Nuget Restore and Nuget Publisher Tasks, they define 3.3 and 3.5 in their tasks. You can view task.json for all tasks definitions in VSTS task.
If you want Nuget Packager also can choose nugget version, you should develop your own task same as Nuget Packager function and with nuget version to choose.

How can i create a manual VSTS release to NuGet?

Possible related, but seems outdated: VSTS Release Task - Push to Nuget
I have a open-source project on GitHub, which is setup to do a build on VSTS.
Now, i would like to have a VSTS Release definition, which publishes my package to NuGet. I would like to do this manually..so don't want it part of my VSTS build.
Can someone point me to the best resource on how to do this?
Here's my Release Definition:

VSTS Release Task - Push to Nuget

I'm trying to set up CI for my Core projects and wrappers to our vsts nuget feed.
I've followed the Zen of Package Management tutorial here.
It's a little out of date, but I believe I managed to translate the changes.
My Build seems to work fine, it builds and packages the dll's into several nuget packages.
The release seems to work also, but the Nuget Feed is not updated with the latest packages.
My Release task is only one task as shown in the image below.
The log shows that it found and downloaded the packages, but it does not show any success on the actual push to nuget.
This is the log that shows the packages being found, and successful completion.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I've been doing a bit of trial and error to find the issue with no success. I'm now a bit stuck with no error messages and no feedback on the outcome for the push.
It's caused by the configuration of Path to NuGet package(s) to publish option for NuGet Push task in your release definition.
Please change the Path to NuGet package(s) to publish as:
$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/packed/*.nupkg
Then the nuget package should be published to your feed correctly.

CakeBuild: Get failed to install tool 'NUnit.ConsoleRunner'

I used CakeBuild to build and test my Xamarin Portable Class Library.
In the build.cake script I defined that I want to use the NUnit-Console to run my testcases. So I do
#tool nuget:?package=NUnit.ConsoleRunner
Unfortunatelly I get the following error when I run the Cake script.
Preparing to run build script...
VERBOSE: Restoring tools from NuGet...

When I add a specific version I want to use like below then everything works fine.
#tool nuget:?package=NUnit.ConsoleRunner&version=3.7.0
Can someone tell me why it is not working without the version stuff?
With ".\build.ps1 -Verbosity Diagnostic" I get the following output:

Now I found my problem and solved it.
The problem was that the NuGet.exe did not has a source feed which points to a public nuget source like "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json".
This was because my default NuGet.conf in under "C:\Users\YOUR_USER_HOME\AppData\Roaming\NuGet" had no packageSource defined. So Nuget just knows the local nuget package cache under "C:\Users\YOUR_USER_HOME.nuget\packages" and this did not include the specified package.
So after I added a packageSource in "C:\Users\YOUR_USER_HOME\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\NuGet.Conf" everything works fine.
Another way can be to add a new NuGet.Conf beside your build.ps1 file which contains all package sources you need for CakeBuild and your Xamarin project.
The following page explains how Nuget finds its configuration. Maybe this is helpful to understand the mechanism NuGet uses to find its configuration:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/consume-packages/configuring-nuget-behavior

NuGet restore works if old version 0.*, but fails with version 2.*

I've got a VSTS build, starting from a blank, originally with just Node.js bits, but now adding some C# bits.
Added the NuGet restore, build sln and vstest tasks as part of the update to the build.
Build fails on the NuGet restore task with the error around the MSTest TestAdapter ...
Restoring NuGet package MSTest.TestAdapter.1.1.11.
Restoring NuGet package MSTest.TestFramework.1.1.11.
WARNING: Unable to find version '1.1.11' of package 'MSTest.TestFramework'.

Why doesn't it pick up the MSTest package?
And even more puzzling to me ??? ...
I spotted the task was version 2.*
tried setting it to version 0.* ...
and the build works !! ... runs tests, etc.
Why does version 0.* work, yet the latest version 2.* fails?

When running the NuGet pack command I get the error: 'AutoMapper' already has a dependency defined for 'NETStandard.Library'

I'm having an issue packaging my own nuget package, which includes AutoMapper 5.0.2. This is only producing an error within the Visual Studio Team Services (VSTeam) Build servers.
My project is using .NET 4.6.1
Any ideas on how to fix?

You need to install new Nuget version for your visual studio version.
Get it from here
Nuget gallery
I was able to fix/workaround the issue by putting a PowerShell script in to download the latest NuGet. Then I pointed all of the NuGet tasks to this new nuget.exe. Pros: builds are working again, Cons: each build downloads NuGet again, causing unnecessary load on NuGet.org.
Here is my PowerShell:
$sourceNugetExe = "https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe"
$targetNugetExe = "$(build.sourcesdirectory)/nuget.exe"
Invoke-WebRequest $sourceNugetExe -OutFile $targetNugetExe
Set-Alias nuget $targetNugetExe -Scope Global -Verbose
nuget
If someone using Team City you also need to use / install newer version of Nuget.
