Nuget source feed order

Hi there,

Is it possible to specify the order of the nuget feed to use during a job? e.g. we would like AV to search for packages FIRST on the account_feed and if the package is not available there, THEN to use nuget.org.

The reason for this weird requirement is that we are using a licensed 3rd party component. The vendor only provides a dll on nuget that expires after 45 days of usage. We would like to create a package with the same version on our account feed that would contain the licensed dll. We would only use this dll to build our setups on AV and this package should only be available to people with access to the account_feed

Thanks for letting me know if this is possible and if yes, how to set it up.

Bests,
Michael

   Hi Michael,

   You can try re-adding nuget.org source like this (I'm still not sure in what order nuget.exe checks the feeds, but presume it's the same order as displayed by nuget sources list command):

   nuget sources remove -name nuget.org
   nuget sources add -name nuget.org -source https://www.nuget.org/api/v2

   Hi Feodor,

   I have finally managed to try this solution but this does not work as expected. It seems that nuget.org is not removed.

   Here is what I tried

   1: Remove source with nuget.org and add it again at then end
   https://ci.appveyor.com/project/open-systems-pharmacology-ci/mobi/build/7.1.0.14

   I get the following error
   nuget sources add -name nuget.org -source https://www.nuget.org/api/v2
   The name specified has already been added to the list of available package sources. Please provide a unique name.

   So even though it was removed, it is still available

   2: I tried to remove the nuget feed and add it under another name. Packages in nuget are picked up first
   https://ci.appveyor.com/project/open-systems-pharmacology-ci/mobi/build/7.1.0.15

   3: I also tried to remove nuget.org and did not add it back.
   Packages from nuget.org are also used!!

   Here is what I can see in the console
   NuGet Config files used:
       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://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-bddhelper
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-utility
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-serializer
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-texreporting
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-databinding
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-databinding-devexpress
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-funcparser
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-simmodel
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-simmodel-solver-cvodes-282
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-core
       https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/ospsuite-smartxls
       C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\
       C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Service Fabric\packages\

   Interestingly, the feed
   C:\Users\appveyor\.nuget\packages\
    https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

   are used even though they do not appear in the sources list.

   Is there a way to override that behavior?

   Thanks for your help,

   Bests,
   Michael

   Hey Feodor,

   You know what, after much consideration, we are just going to swap out the component per scripts. This is going to be much easier

   Thanks for your help on that,
   Mike
