My build has been failing for the past hour and nuget isn't down... https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Exceptionless/exceptionless

The packages exist but can't be restored.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Foundatio.AzureStorage/

    Can you re-run with normal or detailed verbosity for nuget restore?

    It seems to be working now.. I'll do that the next time I run into this issue. Thanks for your time.

    Yeah, that's strange. We have automatic "test" builds running every 15 minutes and nuget packages are being restored as part of those builds. As a result, we could immediately notice when those builds are failing due to nuget.org. It was nuget.org outage yesterday, but have noticed nothing today.

    I just ran into this error again: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Exceptionless/exceptionless and enabled detailed logging. It looks like the client is blowing up.. The packages were just pushed a half hour ago and exist.

    You may try updating the client with this command:

    (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://www.nuget.org/nuget.exe', 'C:\Tools\NuGet\nuget.exe')

    What do you mean by rate limit?

    I'm not sure how this error is related to AppVeyor environment or even nuget client: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Exceptionless/exceptionless/build/2... It's definitely not a connectivity issue. My guess that it hits a node where database changes are not propagated yet.

    I'm not sure but I'm not seeing this issue locally, only on appveyor.. Have you guys considered caching the packages locally / retrying package restore?

    I wasn't sure that if nuget package installs are rate limited by an ip. If this was the case you might see client restores fail as your servers prob do a really really high number of nuget package restore...

    Last time we discussed connectivity issues with NuGet team I was told that there is no any rate-limiting mechanism.

    I've just run this on my dev machine:

    C:\Projects\1>nuget install Foundatio
Unable to find version '1.0.189' of package 'Foundatio'.

    So you think this is just an issue with nuget? I updated that package from nuget, so it's working on my machine at least.

    I'm 100% sure that this particular issue is the nuget issue as I'm still unable to grab latest Foundatio package locally on my dev machine:

    I don't know but I'm wondering if this has something todo with the recent changes you guys made to nuget support.

    Feodor Fitsner's Avatar

    I don't think so. Package publishing is an atomic operation - you just basically upload nupkg file and it could have any name. Just imagine if the package 1.0.189 has appeared on the feed and you can browse it at http://www.nuget.org/packages/Foundatio/1.0.189 then it means nuget.org received uploaded nupkg, unpacked it and read meta-data. Right?

    Blake,

    If it works locally both from your box and from our machines, and doesn’t work from appveyor this reads like there is some issue on the appveyor side.

    I’d suggest adding more logging (perhaps making restore more verbose), try to hit the nuget.org end points from your script and see if they are blocked by some firewall or proxy etc.

    I went into my nuget package manager settings inside of vs and removed the one feed that was already unchecked for our myget feed and it worked. It appears there is a bug trying to resolve packages (that feed I had wasn't even related to this package). And it still doesn't explain what was happening on our appveyor builds

    That was it.. The only odd thing is, we pushed that package to nuget
    (Foundatio packages). And then I updated my packages locally right
    away in the Exceptionless project and it all worked. I then pushed
    those changes and then the build server failed. I have a couple of
    friends and it seemed like we were all having issues most of last week

    I’m seeing the other emails without a reply to all.

    Like I said installing latest versions for things that rev frequently is not working properly (and never really did).

    I explained that you want to reference a specific version that’s available for a while.
