build.cake fails with tool installation using vso extension, works using bootstrapper

[dennisroche]

What You Are Seeing?

An error when installing a tool when running build.cake via VSTS extension. Error: Cake.Core.CakeException: Failed to install tool 'GitVersion.CommandLine'.

What is Expected?

build.cake to execute the same if executed using the build.ps1 bootstrapper. Using build.ps1 on the build agent executes as expected.

What version of Cake are you using?

<packages>
    <package id="Cake" version="0.14.0" />
</packages>

Using 0.1.7 that was updated ‎25‎/‎06‎/‎2016‎ ‎3‎:‎43‎:‎49‎ ‎AM

Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?

Using a hosted agent on VSTS which is Windows Server 2012 R2, 64-bit environment, with Windows PowerShell

What environment are you running on? Hosted? Custom?

Hosted.

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

https://gist.github.com/dennisroche/084eff333760f2bf473f7dff6746997d

The above gist has the build.cake and the contents of the tools\**. I've using a nuget.config file to workaround the issue https://github.com/cake-build/cake-vso/issues/5.

Remember, this works it using the build.ps1 bootstrapper.

I am NOT using a nuget.config file, as the issue that you reference was actually closed in version 0.1.7.

Have you tried this without using a nuget.config file?

This is the project that I used for testing...

@gep13 thanks for taking the time to look at this

Removing the nuget.config from the tools/ folder, results in

I do have another nuget.config in the root of the repository, next to the build.cake.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <configuration>
   <!-- http://docs.nuget.org/consume/nuget-config-file -->
   <packageSources>
     <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
     <add key="nuget.org" value="https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/" />
     <add key="libs" value="https://dennisroche.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/libs/nuget/v3/index.json" />
   </packageSources>
   <bindingRedirects>
    <add key="skip" value="True" />
  </bindingRedirects>
  <activePackageSource>
    <add key="All" value="(Aggregate source)" />
  </activePackageSource>
 </configuration>

If I remove this nuget.config, it then works on VSTS.

As I'm using a private nuget feed, I do need to have this root nuget.config.

[gep13]

@devlead can you add anything to this one?

@dennisroche when you say you are using a private nuget feed, can you confirm for which part of the build process that is for?

[dennisroche]

the private feed is for our own nupkg's that developed internally - these are pulled in during the dotnet restore. it shouldn't be impacting the build.cake.

[gep13]

@dennisroche said... these are pulled in during the dotnet restore. it shouldn't be impacting the build.cake.

Agreed, I am not entirely clear on what is going on here.

For now, any reason to not set the sources on the DotNetCoreRestoreSettings class, as per this example:

http://cakebuild.net/api/cake.common.tools.dotnetcore/df2c8647/7df943ec

[dennisroche]

That would work on VSTS, however would break the tooling in VS2015, i.e. wouldn't be able to add update packages from our feed. I could ask the team to manually add the feed to VS2015.

I have a decent workaround using the build.ps1, skipping the VSTS Cake extension.

What workaround?

[dennisroche]

Running the bootstrap build.ps1 provided by Cake in PowerShell VSTS step.
