Nuget restore task fails while restoring from VSTS

See original GitHub issue

Nuget restore task is failing when attempting to restore packages in VSTS build. Local restore in visual studio works fine. See log below.

Same as issue: #2173

Solved it. It was an error in my solution file. After I disabled the nuget restore task and check “restore nuget” on the build solution task I got an error message that explained what was going on.

Platform.sln(1008,0): Error MSB5023: Error parsing the nested project section in solution file. A project with the GUID "{8F2B4ACA-F351-4ED0-866B-0BB56EA083A4}" is listed as being nested under project "{2AB87963-D7EA-431D-B3C5-14AEED135243}", but does not exist in the solution.

It would be nice if the nuget task would return better exception messages…

I am having a similar issue but I don’t see anything mentioned on their blog about thier service being down. Here is my exact error message:

Error: C:\Agent_work_tasks\NuGetInstaller_333b11bd-d341-40d9-afcf-b32d5ce6f23b\0.2.17\node_modules\nuget-task-common\NuGet\3.3.0\NuGet.exe failed with return code: 1 Packages failed to install
