Issues uploading portable library packages [Fixed]
Starting September 3rd, some users started having issues uploading packages that contain portable libraries; on September 10th, we deployed a fix to address those issues. Errors Experienced Depending on how you were publishing your package, you would have experienced the errors in a few different ways. Upload Package page on nuget.org If you were uploading your package through the nuget.org website's Upload Package page, the package would have initially uploaded okay, but you would have gotten an error when submitting the verified package details. The error would have been our standard "Error: Oh no, we brok...

Debug ScriptBundle results in 404 if virtualPath parameter contains a dot
I spent some time debuging a ScriptBundle problem last Friday and want to share my experience. The original code in a MVC project App_Start/BundleConfig.cs file: Code Snippet And in a cshtml file, the bundle is included as: Code Snippet In local IIS Express debugging mode, I found no problem. So I deployed to Azure to see if project works in real server. And to my surprise, it reported an error that SignalR is not loaded. The following image from the IE F12 developer tools shows a 404 is returned when getting /bundles/jquery.signalR. To find out if bundling works locally, I c...
Updated NuGet Support in Visual Studio 2012.4
As Brian Harry recently announced, there will be a Visual Studio 2012 Update 4. With RC2, we’ve updated the NuGet support. In this blog post, I’ll summarize those improvements. Updated NuGet Client The RTM version of Visual Studio 2012 included a fairly old version of the NuGet client (2.0). Although the NuGet team regularly ships updated versions via the Visual Studio gallery, many of you haven’t updated your NuGet clients yet – probably because you weren’t aware that an update exists or because you didn’t see a reason to update. Unfortunately, the NuGet 2.0 client didn&rsq...
NuGet 2.7 Package Restore Tips
![Jeff Handley [MSFT]](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/letter-avatar/0d332e819bd4eb4475ae7b2ee3637ec6.svg){kind=avatar}
Since the release of NuGet 2.7 with Automatic Package Restore and implicit consent, many developers have adopted the new approach and provided some great feedback on their experiences. Based on that feedback, we have collected a set of tips to help you start using the new restore features. Using Automatic Package Restore Even though package restore consent is on by default, users still need to choose to omit their packages from source control before package restore is engaged. By default, source control systems will include the packages folder in your repository, and you need to take action to omit the packa...
NuGet 2.7 Package Restore Consent Errors
After NuGet 2.7 was released with Automatic Package Restore and implicit consent, some users reported that they were still seeing build errors indicating that package restore consent had not been given. When we made the package restore changes in NuGet 2.7, we identified one scenario where this would happen but determined we couldn't implement a fix and would rather have to document the cause and solution. Scenario and Cause In order to hit this problem, there's a specific scenario you must be in. The scenario isn't extremely common, but we have already heard reports of it. In this scenario, the solutio...
Introducing NuGet Concierge
Twelve weeks ago, the Azure Applications Platform & Tools team welcomed us, three college sophomores, Jaspreet Bagga, Jeremiah Jekich, and Melissa McNeill, to Microsoft. As Explorer Interns, we were given the opportunity to experience the three primary disciplines here at Microsoft: Program Manager, Software Development Engineer, and Software Development Engineer in Test. Rotating positions throughout the course of development, we were able to experience what life is like working in the developer tools division. We were given the opportunity to contribute to one of Visual Studio’s great tools, the NuGet pack...
NuGet Package Restore with Team Foundation Build
Note: This post is now also part of the official NuGet documentation. In this post, I’ll provide a walkthrough on how to use package restore with Team Foundation Build with both, git as well TF version control. In our previous blog post on how we improved package restore, I showed that NuGet 2.7 and Microsoft.Bcl.Build made restoring packages a lot easier. However, I didn’t explain in great detail on how you can restore packages during the build. In this post, I’ll close that gap by providing a more detailed walkthrough. Although this walkthrough is specific for the scenario of using Team Foundation Serv...
