I have a project where we need to integrate nuget packages from local and remote sources in to Jfrog Artifactory. The problem im having is with Visual studio team services as it does not pull the local nuget packages, and it shows a login error. although it does get the nuget.org from our remote repository.
Any suggestions?
You'll need to set up a Personal Access Token and store that in Artifactory before it can access VSTS feeds. See the docs here.

Due to the usage of Babel, that require us to host ourself the package manager on a private repository, we are using Azure Devop as a source of our packages.
But now when we look for any package that is not yet somewhere in the solution, we end up with a "No packages found":
Here we were looking for "roslynator"
If I do this same request in a brand new project. No issues at all, I find the packages.
but we have nuget.org correctly specified in the upstream sources:
And the whole team is listed as contributor. I cannot find any error anywhere when we are fetching the packages. I tried to execute the command Install-package Roslynator. The commands succeed, and then I'm able to see the package in the GUI of visual studio(and in the web console of visual studio).
Seems to be an issue on Visual studio level, but I cannot understand what is causing it?
According to the steps in the Consume NuGet packages in Visual Studio document:
If you're using upstream sources, any packages from upstream sources that haven't been saved to your feed yet (by using them at least once) won't appear in the Package Manager search result. To install those packages:
Copy the Install-Package command from the public registry (NuGet.org).
Select Tools then NuGet Package Manager to open the NuGet package
manager.
Paste the command into the Package Manager Console and select run.
So this is the expected behavior and your steps are correct.
Update:
If you want to find all packages in nuget.org, you need to choose nuget.org as source and search packages instead of using your Azure DevOps sources:
According to this document:The nuget.org upstream source allows you to merge the contents of nuget.org into your feed such that the NuGet client can install packages from both locations without making multiple search queries. Enabling upstream sources also automatically enables saving of packages you use from the upstream source.
If you dislike this behavior (and who wouldn't) you can up-vote this Visual Studio Developer Community issue: Allow search upstream sources on Azure Artifacts
And I can confirm as of 12/28/2022 this is still an issue. :-(
I am attempting to restore packages that I've uploaded to my AppVeyor account NuGet feed, yet it is failing to connect to the feed during the build.
In my appveyor.yml file I have:-
nuget:
account_feed: true
And I have confirmed that the account feed mentioned in the logs is the correct URL for my account feed.
I have also opened that feed by connecting to it using Visual Studio and entering my account credentials. When doing that, I have confirmed that the packages I'm trying to restore exist as expected.
However the build fails with this in the logs:-
https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/xxxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyyyyy: Unable to load the service index for source https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/xxxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyyyyy.
The HTTP request to 'GET https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/xxxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyyyyy' has timed out after 100000ms.
NuGet Config files used:
C:\projects\MyProjectName\Source\NuGet.Config
C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\NuGet.Config
C:\ProgramData\nuget\Config\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Offline.config
C:\ProgramData\nuget\Config\ServiceFabricSDK.config
Feeds used:
C:\Users\appveyor\.nuget\packages\
https://www.nuget.org/api/v2
https://A-CUSTOM-EXTERNAL-NUGET-FEED-I-ALSO-ACCESS/nuget
https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/xxxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyyyyy
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Service Fabric\packages\
Note: The custom external NuGet feed should be unrelated. I have other packages that successfully restore from there before my build breaks with the private account repo attempt.
Is there something I'm missing that will allow me to connect to my AppVeyor account NuGet repo for the restoring of a package?
Could it have anything to do with the package itself?
AppVeyor has made some changes not allowing you to implicitly include your private account NuGet repository for public code respositories.
As in #ilyaf's answer, the discussion here confirms this, and says the following is the reason.
In previous implementation having this enabled and working for public
project was a vulnerability rather than a feature because on your
account feed you can have NuGet packages from both public and private
projects and anyone submitting PR to public build would have been able
to grab private packages from your account feed. It's fixed now.
So to still get this working, as mentioned in #Feodor Fitsner's comment, you need to configure a new nuget source mentioning your account's NuGet repo.
Here's what you need to do.
Go to the Project in AppVeyor that you're trying to build and select the Settings for that project. On the 'Environments' settings tab, add two new Environment Variables:-
'nuget_user'
'nuget_password'
...placing your AppVeyor credentials in the values for each of those.
In your appveyor.yml, add a new NuGet source under the install node.
install:
- nuget sources add -Name MyAccountFeed -Source <feed-url> -UserName %nuget_user% -Password %nuget_password%
...where <feed-url> is your NuGet feed URL.
Note: These two steps are defined in steps 2 and 3 or this doc.
https://www.appveyor.com/docs/nuget/#configuring-external-private-nuget-feed-for-your-builds
Now, ensure that you have account_feed and project_feed off for your build (otherwise the build will complain that there are duplicate feeds).
Do this by either deleting the following:-
nuget: account_feed:
OR ensure you have
nuget:
account_feed: false
project_feed: false
Your project should now build correctly, retrieving your NuGet packages from your NuGet account.
This, however, may be a workaround to what AppVeyor were trying to initially block with their change.
Please take a look at this discussion.
I have a working Octopus Deploy server which has a library of packages I built.
I have an assembly which depends on one of the assemblies which I have deployed in Octopus Deploy and which is currently in that repository. I tried adding it as a package source in NuGet Package Manager, with my repository's URL (something like:
http://myoctoserver/app#/library
).
It will not populate the list Manage NuGet Packages of Visual Studio 2013, although the Microsoft and .NET and the nugget.org will populate.
Documentation doesn't appear to address this at OctopusDeploy.com. Is this something that can be done, or does my organization need to make an external NuGet feed?
Octopus Server provides a write-only repository and it can't be consumed by other NuGet clients.
There are many options available to you depending on your budget / hardware
ProGet
MyGet
NuGet.Lucene
NuGet Gallery
Octopus built in package repository is not mean't to be consumed by others.
The nuget packages there, are built specifically for Octopus. They have different structure. These packages are meant to be unpacked directly to a specific location, and run by either Windows service or IIS.
Also, from docs:
It is important to understand that the Octopus server provides a
write-only repository; intended for hosting application packages only
. Packages that are pushed to the Octopus server can't be consumed by
other NuGet clients like Visual Studio. If you need a NuGet feed for
sharing libraries between your development projects, a separate NuGet
repository is required.
http://docs.octopusdeploy.com/display/OD/Package+repositories
We host internal nuget server ourselves, which works very nicely.
I'm trying to migrate from running Team Foundation Server locally to Visual Studio Team Services. I need to set up a build that will publish a nuget package to our local feed. Is this possible? I assume I need to set up VPN or something. I'm not even sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
In order to get access to local resources you either need to make it available online or use a local build server.
You can create private AAD integrated nugget servers with MyGet.
I just started to use Artifactory Pro (trial) and I have a problem to set virtual repository. I added a new virtual repository which contains one local and one remote repositories. The problem is there is no item on the feed.
Document on the website does not help me either. Any idea how to do it?
I wouldn't say that Nuget Explorer is the problem.
Using artifactory to aggregate feeds fails for me using Nuget Explorer, however
Visual Studio 2013 works.
Using ProGet to aggregate feeds works for me using Nuget Explorer, as well with Visual Studio 2013.
I would say this is an Artifactory problem.
