GitHub Actions dotnet build Unable to find package

Question

I have a .NET CI ins GitHub Actions. Before added Dapper.FluentMap to the project, the GitHub Action was working without any errors.

GitHub Actions fails on:

- name: Build with dotnet

run: dotnet build --configuration Release

How can I build on GitHub actions using a NuGet Dapper.FluentMap dependency ?

I am now getting an error in GitBub Actions:

D:\a\esta-uploadmanagement\esta-uploadmanagement\BLL\BLL.csproj : error NU1101: Unable to find package Dapper.FluentMap. No packages exist with this id in source(s): Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages [D:\a\esta-uploadmanagement\esta-uploadmanagement\esta-uploadmanagement.sln]

My Yaml file

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: windows-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Set up .NET Core
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: '5.0.x'
      
    - name: Build with dotnet
      run: dotnet build --configuration Release

    - name: dotnet publish
      run: dotnet publish -c Release -o ${{env.DOTNET_ROOT}}/myapp

Looks like you only defined a local nuget repository in your solution and the nuget repo is not part of your git repo and therefor not available in your GitHub actions workflow. — riQQ
@riQQ "the nuget repo is not part of your git repo..." Do you have an example OR link to solution? — Ravi Ram

This seems to be a recent bug / issue, as reported here and here on GitHub.

You can work around this issue by manually adding the nuget.org as source in a step:

[...]
    - name: Set up .NET Core
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: '5.0.x'

    # new step
    - name: Add nuget.org as nuget package source
      run: dotnet nuget add source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --name nuget.org

    - name: Build with dotnet
      run: dotnet build --configuration Release
[...]
