Home: Dependency packages are not resolved from secondary sources

[GanesanRengasamy]

I faced the below problem while install the custom NuGet package with the dependency package Jquer.Validation.1.16.0 from the custom feed link in the VS2017.

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Unable to find metadata of Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Ajax.3.2.3 0

This package installed successfully while tried from the Package manager console. I faced this problem only tried from Manage NuGet packages option from the project in VS2017.

Please help me to resolve this problem

Thanks,
Ganesan R.

@GanesanRengasamy can you share the package source URLs you are using?

[GanesanRengasamy]

Hi @emgarten

The below feed I have used for Install the package.
http://nuget.syncfusion.com/aspnet

Thanks,
Ganesan R.

[emgarten]

@GanesanRengasamy try using https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

[GanesanRengasamy]

I tried like this.

But I have the same problem. please let me know if I misunderstood anything.

Thanks,
Ganesan R.

@GanesanRengasamy uncheck the box next to ASPNET, it appears that source is causing problems for you.

Also, check the box next to Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages

[GanesanRengasamy]

Like this

[emgarten]

@GanesanRengasamy check the bottom box also under Machine-Wide

[GanesanRengasamy]

Okay. It's installed with the given source. but I have asked why we cannot installed the another source packages with the dependency Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Ajax. For example,

I faced the problem when I tried the Syncfusion.JavaScript package from the source http://nuget.syncfusion.com/aspnet with dependency jQuery , jQuery.Validation , Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Ajax , Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Validation.

@GanesanRengasamy try setting your package source to All, however dependencies should be taken from any available source so it isn't clear what you are hitting here.

[GanesanRengasamy]

Yes now issue resolved. Is this the Known issue. Because this issue occurred in VS2017 only. In another VS I have tried with setting the particular packages source, the package installed successfully.

Is any bug on VS2017?

[emgarten]

Currently there are no issues for this. Can you describe the steps that worked in VS 2015 and what works in VS 2017. And what doesn't work in VS 2017.

[GanesanRengasamy]

Please find the details for what works in VS2017 and what doesn't works in VS2017

VS Version | Working Steps | Doesn’t work steps|
-|-|-|
VS2015 | 1. Packages installed successfully while setting the packages source with particular source and from the package manager console | Nil|
VS2017 | 1. Packages installed successfully when tried from the package manager console 2. Packages installed with setting the packages source as ALL | 1. Packages doesn’t installed when tried with setting the Packages source as particular source and faced the below problem. Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression StateError Unable to find metadata of Microsoft.jQuery.Unobtrusive.Ajax.2.0.20505 0|

Hi @emgarten

Thanks,
Ganesan R.

I verified that dependencies are not found in non-selected sources in 4.0.0. This is a regression from 3.5.0.

@rrelyea we should consider this for 4.1.0

[GanesanRengasamy]

@emgarten Is this bug from nuget.org or from secondary sources?

[emgarten]

@GanesanRengasamy the issue is with the nuget client in Visual Studio.

[zhili1208]

merged to dev and 4.1 https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/commit/c361e1fe40e2955032e328296768e94a70c234cb

Also having this issue; I have a local nuget feed (on company intranet) and I cannot pick it up, despite setting Package Sources to "All"

[emgarten]

@johntiger1 check that you are using the latest version of NuGet and open a new issue if you are still seeing this. This particular issue has been fixed.

[johntiger1]

Hi, thanks for the response. I got it to work with two caveats:

• I had to "Clear All NuGet caches"

• I can't pick up any pre-release versions (even when no dependency version is specified), so I will have to create a production version of the package.

This still seems to be an issue when adding nuget packages from the package manager console

[dsimoes]

I'm also "suffering" from the same issue it seems. Using VS 2017 15.9.6 with Nuget Package Manager 4.6.0.

Two sources: nuget and sitecore.

I install a sitecore package that has nuget repo dependencies. All goes well.
When I try to reinstall project packages using Update-Package -reinstall I well get an error:

Update-Package : Unable to resolve dependency 'EnterpriseLibrary.TransientFaultHandling.Caching'. Source(s) used: 'nuget.org', 'Sitecore', 'Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages'.

Is there any solution to this? Would using VS 2019 with a more recent version of nuget help?
