Repeated build failures on a project that caches the nuget package directory
Hi Feodor and team
This morning seeing repeated build failures on a project that caches the nuget package directory
The error looks like:
"Restoring "packages" from the build cache...Process must exit
before requested information can be determined."
e.g. see https://ci.appveyor.com/project/SSAT/ssat-webservices/build/1.0.144
disabling the cache in yml allows the build to proceed
Is this some kind of Azure problem?
regards
Julian

We're getting an almost identical error but when attempting to cache at the end of the build not when doing the restore at the start

It's all fixed and should be fine now.

seems to be hanging at Restoring "packages" from the build cache...
is there any way of deleting the cache so I can repopulate it on the next build?

Sure, let me see.

Thanks – have commented it out again in my yml so I can keep building

We're getting completed builds so the base cause seems to be sorted.

Julian,
I've cleared the cache for that project. Give it another try and let me know how it goes.

Hi
Sadly not working still.
On first build there was a DNS error message about being unable to resolve a path to an azure blob
Nuget restore ran, project built, and at the end said it was storing packages in cache.
Rebuilt same version and it stuck at restoring pacakages from cache, eventually bombing with "7zip process has not finished in 20 minutes."

OK, will continue investigating. -Feodor

OK, with a little Win API magic I was able to do build cache without 7zip (it's how it was in the first place) but with long paths support.
I hope it works now for your project. Let me know about results.

Confirm that it now works again - thanks for your excellent support!
