Private NuGet gallery not publishing - nuget

I have set up a NuGet Gallery for use inside my company as per the lengthy instructions at http://docs.nuget.org/docs/contribute/setting-up-a-local-gallery. However I when I push a package to the server it doesn't seem to recognize it even though nuget.exe reports no errors
NuGet.exe push -source http://myserver/NuGet-services/FeedService.svc/ publish\mypackage.0.1.nupkg
Pushing MyPackage 0.1 to 'http://myserver/NuGet-services/FeedService.svc/'...
Pushing: 100%
The API key is set to what my user has listed on its profile page. I have turned up the logging in the service to DEBUG but nothing at all is printed to the log. I have checked that the service has the ability to write to its data directory and to the database. The packages table in the database is empty as is the directory to which the packages look like they should be published (App_Data/Packages). If anybody has a suggestion short of attaching a debugger to this thing I would be most interested in your help.

You're pushing to the wrong url. You don't push to the feedservice.svc. The source should be the root (so http://myserver/NuGet-services/ in your case).

Automate the process of uploading a new build to a website. i.e. npm run build -> cpanel upload

I am managing a mostly static site through GoDaddy.
The site is a React single page application, that is still currently under development, and that occasionally needs content updating. The project folder is hosted as a public git repository.
My goal is to be able to automate the process of updating the site. Currently I need to:
npm run build
navigate to the build folder in windows file explorer
navigate to the public html folder in cpanel, in my web browser
delete the current build files
upload the contents of the build files into cpanel, folder by folder (cpanel will not allow me to upload subfolders)
I have looked through countless forum posts, and blogs, etc to find a way to automate this, but I always end up doing it manually.
You need to investigate using continuous deployment (CD/CI) and using a different hosting setup. Unfortunately, the type of platform that you use (with CPanel) is limiting and is not really oriented at your use case.
However, CPanel does have an option to use Git version control to manage the files and folders in your account. Go into this option and say "Clone repository", where you'll have to link a repo and say where it should install. Note: It is possible that your hosting provider has disabled this feature.
I suspect that this CPanel feature does not automatically pull in changes when you update the repo, so you would probably still need to manually clone the repo again when you make changes (which is still easier than copying files over). Also note that any data you store may be removed when cloning again.

"You are testing actions that you created in project: [[ another project ]]"

I'm struggling to get a Google sample working.
I think I'm following the instructions correctly but now, when testing (in project-y), I receive a warning:
You are testing the Actions that you have created in project: project-x
I had previously used project-x but it has since been deleted. I've tried deleting the project and recreating, redeploy etc. but I'm entirely unable to avoid the error.
I'm unable to determine where project-y references project-x and how to correct this.
The only location where project-[x|y] are referenced is in ./sdk/setting/setting.yaml:
defaultLocale: en
localizedSettings:
developerEmail:
developerName:
displayName: Updates sample
fullDescription:
privacyPolicyUrl:
pronunciation: Updates sample
shortDescription:
smallLogoImage:
termsOfServiceUrl:
projectId: project-y
When I gactions push and gactions preview deploy, both commands correctly reference project-y and the generated URLs correctly point to project-y:
gactions push
Pushing files in the project "project-y" to Actions Console. This may take a few minutes.
Sending configuration files...
gactions deploy preview
Deploying files in the project "project-y" to Actions Console for preview. This may take a few minutes.
Sending configuration files...
I've scoured the gactions config and the cloned directory for hidden configuration files but am unable to find any references to project-x.
If I search, the only reference I find is the single reference to project-y in the above YAML.
I have seen the same issue.
In my case, it is because I used the same Display name for project-x and project-y.
I hope you check your project's Display name on Develop tab in Actions Console and solve your issue.

publish a nuget package from a copy

It seems my team mates have turned off their nuget server and gone on holidays.
I need a temporary work around so that my Azure Dev Ops build does not fail when restoring the nuget packages.
I have a local copy of the package at
C:\Users\kirst.nuget\packages\mypackagetemp
Which I want to publish to a temporary feed.
I read the instructions on publishing a package from the command line but am confused about step 6
Surely I dont need to set up the Project and restore packages as I already have the .nupkg
I tried the command
c:\nuget\nuget.exe push -Source "TempFeed" -ApiKey az mypackagetemp.nupkg
but got an error
unable to load the service index for source
https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/mycompany/myproject/_packageing/TempFeed/nuget/v3/index.json
When I repeat the command I get a request for credentials
When I put in the credentials I connect to Azure Dev Ops with they do not work.
[Update]
I was prompted for credentials.. reading up on it... so confusing.
[Update]
I upgraded nuget.exe from 5.1.0.6013 to the latest version 5.4.0.6315 This time I got a UI to log in and the message
Your package was pushed
However when the devops pipeline build runs I het a message
unable to load the service index for source
https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/mycompany/myproject/_packageing/TempFeed/nuget/v3/index.json
I guess I need to create an index.json file somehow.
My project is using a mynuget.config that has the following in the packagesources
<add key="TempPackage" value="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/mycompany/_packaging/myfeed/nuget" />
[Update]
I changed mynuget.config to have
<add key="TempPackage" value="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/mycompany/_packaging/myfeed/nuget/v3/index.json" />
Now the dev ops build shows the message
Failed to retrieve information about 'Serilog.Enrichers.Thread'
from remote source
'https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/mycompany/_packaging/myfeed/nuget/FindPackagesById()?id="Serilog.Enrichers.Thread'',
response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found).)
My solution does use Serilog. I don't think the 3rd party package uses it.
[Update]
The next time I built I got a different error looking for WindowsAzure.Storage
I seem to get a different file causing the error each time I build the pipeline.
My project artifacts does have 2 feeds. The needed files are in the unselected feed.
[Update]
I tried editing mynuget.config to use index.json however I get a build error
The nuget command failed with exit code(1) and error(Unable to load
the service index for source
https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/mycompany/_packaging/myfeed/nuget/v3/index.json.
Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found - The
feed with ID 'MyFeed' doesn't exist
[Update]
Because the new feed was project based I edited mynuget.config to have
<add key="TempPackage" value="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/mycompany/myproject/_packaging/myfeed/nuget/v3/index.json" />
Now it works!
In Azure Devops web portal, for your current project, go Artifacts tab and make sure your packages like mypackagetemp.nupkg are available there.
For me, I have custom LibraryCore.nupkg pushed there. Now let's click the Connect to feed settings, choose nuget.exe and you can see:
Copy exactly same content to your own mynuget.config file. Then your build pipeline can access your published mypackagetemp.nupkg.
Failed to retrieve information about 'Serilog.Enrichers.Thread' from
remote source
'https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/mycompany/_packaging/myfeed/nuget/FindPackagesById()?id="Serilog.Enrichers.Thread'',
response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found).)
The next time I built I got a different error looking for
WindowsAzure.Storage
These packages(Serilog.Enrichers.Thread,WindowsAzure.Storage and ...) are all available in nuget.org, so you should also make sure you've add nuget.org as package source in your config file:
In addition:
According to your description, you only need to use your custom devops feed and other packages from nuget.org, apart from using your mynuget.config, you could configure your nuget restore task like this:
Choose devops feed directly(second red line) by Feeds I select here instead of Feeds in my Nuget.config. And check the Use packages from nuget.org checkbox. Then you can access the packages in custom feed and nuget.org during build.

Access Is Denied error pushing package into my azure devops artifacts nuget feed

In my question here I managed to push one package to my feed, however I now get an Access is denied error.
According to this question I should be prompted for user name and password. This did occur for the package I managed to push, but it no longer occurs.
What do I need to do?
Studying the docs
this issue on Git is relevant
[Update]
Something strange has happened to my folder.
I get the error if I just type Nuget at the dos prompt.
If I create a new folder and extract nugetcredentialprovider.zip into it, then run Nuget I don't get the error
the cli reference
push reference
configuring nuget behaviour
Starting over again with a new installation of credentialsprovider solved the problem.
I accidentally cause the problem again by pasting in a command that started with the directory name
(a cut and paste boo booo)

How do I set up Azure Dev Ops to build Dev Express XAF-XPO project?

I want to set up continuous integration and deployment for an XAP Mobile app in Azure Devops.
In order to get CI/CD I need to set up the Azure Pipeline to install the right packages.
There is some information in the docs on Hosting your own NuGet feeds
and Get started with NuGet packages in Azure DevOps
Dev Express explained that they do not currently provide a Nuget feed for XAF, but I can make my own Delegate's DCNugetPackageBuilder
Using DXNugetPackageBuilder to make Nuget packages
As per the instructions I downloaded the .pdb files extracted them to c:\tmp\symbols
I also downloaded DXNugetPackageBuilder and edited buildPackages.bat according to instructions.
Next I ran build.ps1 in elevated Powershell
This created the .nupkg files at C:\tmp\Nuget
By default this uses the files located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\DevExpress 18.1\Components\Bin\Framework
and the .pdb files located at
c:\tmp\symbols
Using Nuget.Exe and the Credential Provider to push the packages to the feed
The Connect To Feed screen mentions I need to download Nuget.exe and the credential provider
Here are the docs on the Credentials Provider
I unzipped the VSTS CredentialProviders Nuget.Exe is included.
The next step is to follow the instructions given by the "add this feed" section of the Connect To Feed screen.
For example
nuget.exe push -Source "SBDDevExpress" -ApiKey VSTS c:\tmp\Nuget\DevExpress.Data.18.1.6.0.nupkg
I ran into an access denied issue that got solved here
then I was able to push all the packages I wanted.
Set the Nuget Package Source
In VS2017 with my solution open I used Tools -> Nuget Package Manager -> Package Manager Settings
I added package settings with the Azure endpoint set up as a package source.
Errors building
When I run the build pipeline I get errors like
The type or namespace DevExpress could not be found are you missing a directive or assembly reference?
From studying Updater.cs and Module.cs
It seems I am missing the following namespaces from the Nuget feed.
DevExpress.ExpressApp.DC;
DevExpress.ExpressApp.Updating;
DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl.PermissionPolicy;
[Update]
DevExpress suggested I compare the dlls generated in the bin folder with my package feed.
I found several missing files and pushed their packages.
I now have
XafMobile.Module\Properties\licenses.licx(1.0): Error LC0003: Unable to resolve type 'DevExpress.ExpressApp.ModuleBase"
I can see from the source code that ModuleBase is a public class in DevExpress.ExpressApp
I am wondering if this is something to do with reflection.
There is some mention of it at Dev Express support
[Update]
I tried removing the licence files and syncing the project.
Now the errors show as missing assembly references
Also When I rebuild my solution the license files are missing from the properties folders
I wonder if this helps explain it
[Update]
Manuel Grunder [DevExpress MVP] and DXNugetPackageBuilder author explained that
"
When working with nuget.packages you need to reference them via nuget as well
as he explains here
"
As is explained here
"When working with nuget.packages you need to reference them via nuget as well. Thats the reason why it did not work in the first place."
