Cannot publishing a NuGet to TFS 2017

Question

When I try to publish a NuGet to my TFS 2017 on-premises using a build step, I get following error messages:

2016-12-21T09:34:01.5074440Z ##[error]Packages failed to publish

I have also try to run the NuGet.exe push ... command from a PowerShell script as a build step, and that also failed.

When I run it manually in a ordinary PowerShell console, it works without problems.

What is the runtime difference between running it from console compared to running it in a build step? How do I make it works?

Edit 1 I have change to NuGet 3.5 and created a verbose log. Se below:

Answer 1

The error below indicates you need to provide credential to push the package:

Please provide credentials for: http://myserver:8080/tfs/My%20Team%20Projects/_packaging/our-nuget/nuget/v3/index.json
UserName: System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot prompt for input in non-interactive mode.

Check the solution here: log in as the user which will be running the builds, and update the nuget source reference (which will be in a user-specific appdata config file) with the password:

nuget sources update -Name <whatever you called it> -source http://your.nuget.repo/authed/feed/ -User <your username> -pass <your pwd>

This will save an encrypted password in a user-specific config file on that computer, and should mean you don’t get prompted for that source anymore.

Several more options are detailed over here: http://www.xavierdecoster.com/nuget-package-restore-from-a-secured-feed

Answer 2

Find the reason: the user name or password includes quotes when add feed source. Solution to deal with that issue:

1. Download Nuget 3.5
2. Open Command Prompt and navigate to Nuget.exe folder (CD)
3. Update package source through this command (Do not include quotes to user name and password):

Command:

.\nugget.exe Sources update -name '[feedname]' -source "[feed address]" -username [user name] -password [password]

4. Queue build to publish package

Note: Do not include quotes to user name and password, for example: ‘user1’, ”user1”, just use user1.
