I'm getting this error when building a project​ using Visual Studio online service build:

Error:

This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Enable NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is ....\Attempt17\.nuget\NuGet.targets.

It is giving that nuget.target file is missing but it is already present in .nuget folder.

Any help?

You should add a "Nuget Package Restore" task to your build before you run your compilation. You no longer need a ".nuget" folder.

I had a different cause, in VSTS/Azure DevOps using "Use Nuget" first then "NuGet restore" second, on Hosted agent...the restore was throwing this error. Error began showing sometime around Feb 1, 2019.

I had to change this...

Path to solution, packages.config, or project.json: **/*.sln

to this...

Path to solution, packages.config, or project.json: **\{YOUR_SOLUTION_NAME}.sln

And the error went away.

Hope this helps!
