nuget.exe fails to restore packages for .build.csproj about nuke HOT 14 CLOSED

@abhinav2004 I assume you have your solution file (sln) and the build.ps1 in different locations? That would be indeed a situation I didn't think of, when I recently cleaned up some parts of the bootstrapping.

What you're probably missing is the -SolutionDirectory flag for nuget.exe:

7001502#diff-17bf411711a25aa07727e1ee506981afL16
7001502#diff-17bf411711a25aa07727e1ee506981afL40

I can revert this change, but could you first check if this fixes the situation for you?

@matkoch actually they are at the same location:

<redacted>@<redacted> MINGW64 ~/Workspace/<redacted> (<redacted>)
$ ls -al *.sln *.ps1
-rw-r--r-- 1 <redacted> 197121 7703 Oct  3 17:04 <redacted>.sln
-rw-r--r-- 1 <redacted> 197121 1922 Oct  3 17:04 build.ps1

I'll check if the fix given by you works and get back to you.

from nuke.

Are you executing from a different working directory? As far as I know nuget.exe tries to find the solution file by walking up the current directory.

from nuke.

I am executing it from where both the sln and ps1 files are.

from nuke.

Maybe it finds more than one solution file? Anyway, I'm sure specifying that parameter will fix it.

from nuke.

Actually there are submodules in the project which have their own solution files but they are down in the sub paths. The immediate solution is just outside the build folder.

And yes the change did fix it somewhat but now I have dependency issues :(
I found out by manually restoring nuget packages.

Update-Package : Unable to resolve dependencies. 'Newtonsoft.Json 10.0.1' is not compatible with 'Nuke.Common 0.1.340 constraint: Newtonsoft.Json (>= 10.0.3)', 'Refit 4.0.1 constraint: 
Newtonsoft.Json (>= 10.0.3)'.

I really don't like supporting the legacy format. But I will still try :) It's much more fragile than using the sdk-based project files.

In that case you could simply replace the version 10.0.1 with 10.0.3 in both - project file and packages.config.

from nuke.

Yeah legacy can be a pain at times. I'll try that and see if it works.

No chance you can install msbuild 15 or use netcore ?

from nuke.

I am on msbuild 15. But need to use old .Net FW

from nuke.

Then you should be able to use .NET Framework + SDK-based project file.

from nuke.

Ok now I feel like an idiot. Thanks! The SDK based one worked without a hiccup.

from nuke.

That sounds great :D Everything alright, much appreciated that you actually found 2 bugs :)
