FindPackagesById only returns local packages for connector feed

michal.karpinski_1079

We have an internal ProGet feed that acts as a connector for nuget.org. For some packages, however, we get errors restoring packages when using the ProGet endpoint. Using nuget.org directly works fine.

I've narrowed the problem down to the following request being made by nuget.exe:

Restoring packages for .NETCoreApp,Version=v2.0...
2018-01-03T11:38:36.0086973Z            CACHE http://proget/nuget/Ekstern/FindPackagesById()?id='Swashbuckle.AspNetCore'
error NU1101: Unable to find package Swashbuckle.AspNetCore. No packages exist with this id in source(s): Ekstern

Performing the same query against ProGet using Postman confirms what nuget.exe reports - no metadata is returned.

Using the ProGet web UI I can find the package with no problems in the feed. To work around the problem, I have to pull the package to ProGet using the web UI. Only then will FindPackagesById return the package ID and version.

I'm guessing this is a bug? Or have I misunderstood something?

Product: ProGet
Version: 4.8.9

There is a "bad" version of that package (invalid version number), which is causing a connector error. It's fixed in PG-1146, which is available in v5 (beta). You can of course download that, or wait until regular v5 is released (next week).

Ok, I see that my issue is exactly what is described in https://inedo.com/support/questions/7450.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll update to v5 when it comes out of beta.
