Nuget fails to install ravendb.client version 1.0.971 or 1.0.972

[Johannes Gustafsson]

Hi,

If install raven like this:

nuget install ravendb.client

Then I get version 1.0.960.

If install any of these:

nuget install ravendb.client -version 1.0.971

nuget install ravendb.client -version 1.0.972

Then I get:

Unable to find version '1.0.972' of package 'ravendb.client'.

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Try:

Install-Package RavenDB.Client -Version 1.0.972 

It is most certainly there:

http://nuget.org/packages/RavenDB.Client/1.0.972 

[Damian Hickey]

Issue reproduced here

• Using 'Manage NuGet Packages' GUI in VS and searching RavenDB.Client will display and install 972
• Using Package Manager Console with "install-package RavenDB.Client" installs #960
• Then opening  'Manage NuGet Packages' GUI on Updates tab shows #972
• "install-package RavenDB.Client -version 1.0.972" results in "Unable to find version '1.0.972' of package 'RavenDB.Client'."
• Command line "nuget i RavenDB.Client" installs #960
• "nuget i RavenDB.Client -version 1.0.972" results in same error as Package Manager Console.

I cleared my nuget cache each time. So... this is strange...

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

I am not sure what this could be.

what happen if you uninstall things before each action?

[Damian Hickey]

I was testing from a clean slate for each action. I have a weak suspicion it is a nuget CDN issue. Breaking out fiddler, will report back shortly...

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Thanks!
My Nuget Hero!

[Damian Hickey]

No problem ;)

It's not the best technically, but it's what we've got.

[Damian Hickey]

Command line and package manager console issue this request: https://nuget.org/api/v2/FindPackagesById()?id='RavenDB.Client' in which #971 and #972 are not showing up.

The Manage Packages GUI issues this request: https://nuget.org/api/v2/Search()?$filter=IsLatestVersion&$orderby=DownloadCount%20desc,Id&$skip=0&$top=30&searchTerm='RavenDB.Client'&targetFramework='net45'&includePrerelease=false and #971 & #972 are showing up.

Both requests went to same IPAddress. Looks like nuget.org are currently having problems. Probably just cache related and will fix itself. Adding package via GUI is a workaround.

[Johannes Gustafsson]

The reason I use nuget cli is to restore packages from a fresh checkout to do deployment, so using the GUI is not an option. I got it working anyway by copying the package manually from another checkout. 

The problem still exists though.

Yeah, probably related to http://twitter.com/nuget/status/237427240286162944.

Slightly OT, but in general, I'd recommend you set up a local nuget repo on your LAN for package restore purposes. Isolates you from nuget.org / internet outages and is a lot faster.

[Damian Hickey]

Got in contact with David Fowler and we've got to the bottom of this issue and they're working on it that'll require a new deployment of nuget's webservices.

The problem, for those that are interested appears to be this line: https://github.com/NuGet/NuGetGallery/blob/master/Website/DataServices/FeedServiceBase.cs#L85 . The results of FinePackagesById(), which is used by command line, Package Manager Console and Package Restore, is limited to 100 - and RavenDB.Client is the first package to have >100 packages.

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Huh!
Love it when we break the rules like that :-)

[Kijana Woodard]

Haha. I'm sure they were thinking it would take years for a project to have 100 packages.

" I mean, Microsoft releases once or twice a year, so if they were really aggressive, a project might release, what, every month. Don't worry guys, we won't need to look at this for a decade! "

Oooops.

[Damian Hickey]

We were still exploring when I post that - it may not be the page size, but the client is not downloading subsequent pages.

I may have jumped the gun there ;)

[Brian Vallelunga]

Ahh, so this is why my build server isn't working today. Using package restore, it bombs on the 972 package download. Hopefully the nuget team will get this fixed quickly.

[Damian Hickey]

I posted a workaround that will fix your build server: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/ravendb/wt0xChBezAI 

[Chris Marisic]

Simpler work around is to just get the package and put it in your nuget cache folder on server.

[Damian Hickey]

Will that work if the account the build agent service runs under is non-interactive?

[Chris Marisic]

It would still have access to it's user folder i'd have to believe for it to have a nuget cache. I'm not even sure if it's possible for package restore to work without nuget cache.
