Azure-devops-docs: Missing information on consuming nuget packages in a YAML pipeline from an Azure Devops Artifact nuget feed

[Paul-Dempsey]

I've been banging my heard for days trying to restore packages from an Azure Devops Artifacts nuget feed in a YAML pipeline, but no luck. MSBuild and dotnet restore both just tell me:

warning : The plugin credential provider could not acquire credentials. ...
 Warning : Unable to load the service index for source  ...

I can't find any information on what the problem is or how to get it to work.

I could use some guidance on the same topic.

Hey people - I'll have some time to take a look at this early next week, as I'm traveling today. We are working on making our services work better (and easier) in YAML, so this will be a good exercise for us.

[elbatk]

For reference, could you both post a sample of the YAML you're trying to use?

pool:
name: Hosted VS2017
demands: msbuild

steps:

• task: NuGetToolInstaller@0
  displayName: 'Use NuGet 4.9.4'
  inputs:
  versionSpec: 4.9.4

• task: DotNetCoreInstaller@0
  displayName: 'Use .NET Core SDK Tool Installer'
  inputs:
  version: 2.2.105

• task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'DotNet restore packages'
  inputs:
  command: restore
  continueOnError: false

etc to build and publish

I found a workaround, but according to the docs, it should just work without this:

- task: NuGetCommand@2
  displayName: 'Authenticate nuget feed'
  inputs:
    command: custom
    arguments: sources update -Name "<feed-name>" -Username "vsts" -Password "$(System.AccessToken)" -StorePasswordInClearText -ConfigFile ./NuGet.Config

Hi everyone, this looks like a duplicate of #3884 so I'm going to close this in favor of that one.
