Cannot build in VSTS - Dotnet command failed with non-zero exit code

Without making any changes to our project files, just regular code update, our builds started to fail from this monday - 21/08/2017. During the build, in the log, we get the following error at the Restore step:

Error: C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe failed with return code: 1

And

Dotnet command failed with non-zero exit code on the following projects : d:\a\1\s\BD.YRD.Tests\BD.YRD.Tests.csproj

We have not made any changes to the Tests csproj. We only tried to remove the test project just to see if it builds but then it started to throw the same error for the main web project. We use hosted2017 agent. Our .net core project is 1.1.1.

Any ideas how to solve it?

This is the output from our .net info step:

@trbngr Thanks. This worked for me.

For others, to be more specific, comment out:

<DotNetCliToolReference Include="BundlerMinifier.Core" Version="X.X.XXX" />

The PackageReference can stay.
