Nuget restore fails on Windows runner

Zahid Çakıcı

I have a Bitbucket pipeline running on self-hosted windows runner.

<span>pipelines:</span>
  <span>default:</span>
    <span>-</span> <span>step:</span>
        <span>name:</span> <span>Build</span> <span>and</span> <span>test</span>
        <span>runs-on:</span>
          <span>-</span> <span>"windows"</span>
        <span>script:</span>
          <span>-</span> <span>nuget.exe</span> <span>restore</span> <span>.\MyProject.sln</span> <span>-source</span> <span>"https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json;http://nuget.mycompany.com/nuget"</span>
          <span>-</span> <span>msbuild</span> <span>.\MyProject.sln</span> 

 But I get this error:

Hi Zahid,

Windows Runners use PowerShell to run pipeline steps on your Windows machine (host device). This error may be related to the configuration of your project or it may be a bug with NuGet. For example, I found this issue here in the issue tracker of NuGet, where a similar error is reported:

• https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/11953

I would suggest checking the details and suggestions in that issue, in case the error you get is related to that. Otherwise, the ReadMe of the NuGet repo suggests asking any questions related to Nuget on Stack Overflow.

Kind regards,
Theodora
