Hello i have a project that uses nuget libraries, and build always fails with error:

Package restore is enabled.

I have a packages folder on my developers machine - where all my nuget packages are stored.

Can i manually add packages folder to my project and include .DLL from it to store it on build server so that nuget restore wasn't needed?

Answer 1

If your build server doesn't have internet access, you need to setup a local NuGet feed. You can use the build server itself for that purpose.

Answer 2

Can the user running the Build service access internet? Sometimes you have to logon using that account a set a proxy in Internet Explorer.
