I am having a weird problem with Azure DevOps, which is that dotnet restore
can restore nuget packages successfully but dotnet build
failed because the packages cannot be found.
Here is the steps in my pipeline, as well as some output from each steps
dotnet restore
In this step, I specifically set the Destination to packages
folder in root so that I can verify that packages are actually stored. In addition, since I am using private nuget repo, I specify the NuGet.config file and the credentials.
ls && ls packages
I would like to make sure packages are restored so I add this step. From the output, I can see that packages from both nuget repo and my private repo are there
dotnet build
I get error in this step (not always. this step will be succeed occasionally, sometimes after I update some pipeline config). In this step, the error says
The type or namespace name 'Migrations' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
For this step, I also tried to use PowerShell with command dotnet build Booking.Server.csproj -c Release --no-restore --source ..\packages
and I got the same error.
===========================================
In addition, I also checked my csproj file that no package is referenced from a local path.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you.
