Azure DevOps Build Solution using wrong version of package - azure

I've got a 'Build Solution' step for a ASP.NET project in Azure DevOps and it's failing because it's trying to use an old version of a package. In my code it's only referenced in the packages.config and I've changed that entry to use version 1.0.7, but in Azure DevOps it's still trying to find 1.0.2 but fails to find it. Any ideas why it's trying to use the wrong package version or how to force it to get the new one? My project in visual studio has no references to the old version.

There were references in the .csproj file that were trying to access the old file path, and that version of the package did not exist at that path. So I took the bad path out and it fixed the issue

Probably one of your NuGet packages requires version 1.0.2 of the package. To figure out which one, delete the local version 1.0.2 and build the solution locally. Then take a look at the build output and see which package is missing that version. Maybe take a look here:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host, Version=3.0.22.0

I have recently cloned a new repository which has AzureFunctions but I am unable to run it. The build succeeds and on Run click it opens a window suggesting that it is downloading Azure
I am using VS2017 and .Net core 2.1.
It seems to be working for other team members but not for me.
I keep getting this 'Could not find Azure.WebJobs.Host...' error continuously.
I've tried all the fixes that are there on the internet without any luck.
The Azure Functions and Web job tools dlls seem to be up-to-date as they are not shown in the updates tab.
Updating all the nuget dependencies also did not work.
I tried using VS2017 and .Net core 2.1.
Installed Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs - 3.022 version from Nuget Packages.
Included Namespace
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host;
I found that there is no Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host direct assembly to include.
If you install Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs you can directly use Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host namespace.
Check your .csproj , if you have any PackageReference Included with Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host, try to remove and build your Application.
It must include Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs

Build works locally and fails in Azure

I have a project in C Sharp which build correctly in my local machine ( as well as in the one from my colleagues ). But when we try to configure the pipeline in Azure, in the step of Nuget restore everything stops and we get an error message stating that package "A" is not compatible with netcore 2.2, as well as package B,C,D,etc.
Why is it possible to see this error in Azure but not in my local? The project is setup to use netcore 2.2 and builds fine in my local machine.

This error can occur with an outdated version of nuget. The default version of NuGet running in the VSTS pipeline was not the latest one.
So, to resolve this issue, there is a nuget version installer task which you can run as part of your build step to upgrade the version of nuget running in your build pipeline:
Besides, if update nuget version not resolve this issue, please check the SDK version on the build agent is same as your local, you can use the task Use .NET Core to update the SDK version.
Hope this helps.

Azure Functions - Referencing the same library as the CLI

I'm working on a precompiled C# Azure Function, and I want to reference a lot of the Microsoft.Extensions dlls. The current version is 2.1.1 for most of these.
However, when I run the project, I get an assembly load error. This seems to be caused by the folder the func.exe file is in comes with most of these dlls, but at version 2.0.0.
If I reference version 2.0.0, then everything works. But is there a way to not have to reference the exact same version as the cli?
This version conflict has been fixed in new version cli. See this related issue and SO thread.
This should be resolved on the latest version of the Azure Functions runtime (2.0.11888, CLI 2.0.1-beta.31).
Have done some tests with Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration 2.1.1. Works as expected.
To consume the latest cli,
If you use Visual Studio to debug,
update Azure Functions and Web Jobs Tools(in menu Tools>Extensions and Updates) to latest version 15.0.40617.0. After update, create a new Azure Function project, wait at the create dialog for VS to download new cli and template.
After a while, we can see the tip change to
On Windows, check whether this folder%LocalAPPDATA%\AzureFunctionsTools\Releases\2.2.2exists, which contains 2.0.1-beta.31 cli. If the downloading fails, just delete %LocalAPPDATA%\AzureFunctionsTools folder and restart VS to download again.
If you use npm, npm i -g azure-functions-core-tools#core --unsafe-perm true. For more choices, see cli installation.

How to upgrade nuget packages if the installed version is missing?

Running into a situation where I deployed an application to production a few months ago and now I need to do some work on it, on an entirely new machine. The first I do is pull source and nuget restore won't restore because it can't find the particular version of the package it was developed under. When I check nuget.org for this package version it is not there. So how do I upgrade my solution to the latest binaries?
Visual Studio 2013 trying to update ServiceStack '4.0.39' to latest, which is '4.0.40' at the time of this post.
Thank you,

The best solution I've come up with for this is to manually edit the Packages.config file(s) and set the version number to whatever you want. Restore should then work. It's not a perfect solution but it has dug me out of some holes.
(I know this is an old answer, but it just came up in some Googling)
One issue with the accepted answer (of just updating the version # in packages.config) is that this is just triggering a "package restore"--and will skip any "installation steps" the package might have (things that were done automatically when you first added the package, such as adding assembly references, modifying config files, etc.).
An alternative way would be to edit the packages.config and REMOVE the package in question from there---then start up VS and add the new version. This will trigger the package's usual install routine to do it's thing.
I recommend you to use the NuGet Package Manager Console of Visual Studio:
TOOLS > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console
Command to update a NuGet package to the latest version:
Update-Package ServiceStack
Command to update a NuGet package to a specific version:
Update-Package ServiceStack -version 4.0.40

NuGet Package restore failed for project myProjectWeb: Unable to find version '3.0.1' of package 'AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit'

It's a provider hosted project. It used to work until very recently.
If I create a completely new project/solution, then it works.
If I start the old one, or redownload it from source control, I get the following error:
NuGet Package restore failed for project LocalTheaterWeb: Unable to find version '3.0.1' of package 'AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit'
I tried Update-Package -Reinstall but the problem stays.
Any ideas?
The solution of Scott Hillier did it for me:

I often take advantage of the NuGet Package Restore capability to
reduce the size of my projects when saving or sharing them. Today, I
discovered an issue with this process when building SharePoint 2013
Provider-Hosted Apps against SharePoint Online. Here are the steps to
reproduce and the fix:
Create a Provider-Hosted App in Visual Studio 2013 using a SharePoint Online site for debugging.
Right click solution and "Enable NuGet Package Restore"
Save and Close Project
Delete the “packages” folder from project directory
Open Project in Visual Studio 2013
Rebuild, receive error “Unable to find AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit”
Open Packages.config file
Change “AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit” to “AppForSharePointWebToolkit”
Rebuild – successfully this time. Apparently, the "AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit" package is not available through the
NuGet Package Manager, but the older "AppForSharePointWebToolkit"
package is available.
The error message suggests that NuGet cannot find the AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit package in your package sources. So check the following:
The correct package source is selected whilst doing the Update-Package -Reinstall.
Check the package source that hosts the NuGet package is enabled. If you are using a recent version of NuGet the package restore should use all the enabled package sources.
See if the solution or project has its own NuGet.config which is overriding the package sources.
Without further information my guess is 3. since you say it works for a new project.
You can also run Fiddler to see what package sources NuGet is using as it tries to restore.
For older "locked down" projects with specific package version numbers that you can't update, un-check "Automatically check for missing packages during build in Visual Studio" which is found via:
Nuget Package Manager > Package Manager Settings
This means that if you toggle between newer projects and older projects you need to check and un-check this setting
