How do you fix intermittent package restore fails in VSTS?
During my build I have a task to restore Nuget packages.
My build configuration does have multiple configurations for the same code.
Every so often, I get build failure where packages fails to restore, yet the the other configuration does succeed. If I do kick off the build again the build will succeed.
The error is:
...nuget-task-common\NuGet\3.3.0\NuGet.exe failed with return code: 1
It took a little research to find out the issue.
Nuget had a bug related to exactly this, which has been resolved.
Resolution
I have changed the configuration to use v3.5 and the issue has been resolved.
