Details about Problem

NuGet version: 4.6.2.5055 OS version: Windows Server 2016, version 10.0 TeamCity version: 2018.1

NuGet is unable to pack a csproj. on a TeamCity agent(s). But have not found any reason why it should not work. Especially that the agents is building solutions without any problems, nuget restore also work properly. Locally (on developer environment) the nuget pack works fine.

Worked before? No.

Detailed repro steps so we can see the same problem

nuget pack "ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1.csproj" -Verbosity detailed -Properties Configuration=Release

Other suggested things

It might be some problems with MSBuild itself. The same issue occurs for NuGet 4.4.1.4656 Right now my workaround is not using the csproj for nuget pack, but defining everything inside the nupkg.

Verbose Logs

Could you try to update your VS on the agent to 15.7.5? I tried that version, can't repro the issue.

Updated to 15.7.5. Same issue. Probably it is environmental however MSBuild (?) should handle it. Maybe I should report it on https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/issues ?

maybe msbuild team have some clue. also I like to try your sample project to see if I can repro. But I think it should be related to environment.

sample project is a waste of time (really just a console application even without any nuget packages). on my development environment everything is working
