VS2017 nuget keeps searching for packages in wrong location










1















So I migrated from nuget packages.config to PackageReference and found out there were some compatibility issues. I reverted the project to its working state (before the PackageReference) and now my project is not compiling.



I get the following error:




Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error The package EntityFramework with version 6.2.0 could not be found in C:Usersuser.nugetpackages. Run a NuGet package restore to download the package. DbManager




This happened to multiple packages. It seems that Nuget is searching for packages in the user.netpackage directory for some reason. Originally, there was a folder within the project that contained all the packages.



I forced the global path to be at the folder within the project by editing the NuGet.Config file.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<config>
<add key="repositoryPath" value="C:ProjectsAppApp Sourcepackages" />
<add key="globalPackagesFolder" value="C:ProjectsAppApp Sourcepackages" />
</config>
<packageSources>
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
</packageSources>
<packageRestore>
<add key="enabled" value="True" />
<add key="automatic" value="True" />
</packageRestore>
<bindingRedirects>
<add key="skip" value="False" />
</bindingRedirects>
</configuration>


I don't know why Nuget keeps looking for packages at that location. It should be looking at the packages folder within the project.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
<package id="EntityFramework" version="6.2.0" targetFramework="net46" />
<package id="EntityFramework6.Npgsql" version="3.1.1" targetFramework="net46" />
<package id="Npgsql" version="3.2.7" targetFramework="net46" />
<package id="System.Threading.Tasks.Extensions" version="4.3.0" targetFramework="net46" />
<package id="Z.EntityFramework.Plus.EF6" version="1.7.17" targetFramework="net46" />
</packages>


All of these packages in packages.config are not being found. This problem started happening when I tried PackageReference.



Is there any way to reset Nuget's settings? I would appreciate any guidance in solving this problem.

  • I had a similar issue and resolved it by clearing the NuGet caches (VS => Tools => Options =>NuGet Package Manager => Clear Caches)

  • Tried that. Did not change anything. It keeps looking for packages at the default nuget global path (under users)... I'm considering doing a clean install but I'm not sure which is the problem: my local project, Nuget, or Visual Studios
