Reactivate the nuget Package Manager in visual studio 2022

Percy Chavez 20

I am currently unable to access the nuget package manager, when trying to add a package from a file it seems to clear the nuget storage.

And now when entering "Package origins" within "Package manager configuration", this error is displayed:

User's image

And then it displays the empty nuget package source and when I add a new mapping Visual Studio restarts

User's image

which makes it unable to access the nuget package manager. What should I do to re-enable the nuget Package Manager?

Hi @Percy Chavez ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

How did you add a package from a file?

Please close all running Visual Studio Instances and update your VS2022 to the latest version.

Then, run your VS2022 as administrator and add a package source as the following steps:

Go to Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > Package Sources > select “+” > edit the Name to nuget.org > enter https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json in Source > Update.

After restarting your Visual Studio, please create a new project to check it again.

If it persists, please transfer your error message into English and share me the detailed information to investigate it further.

Sincerely,

Anna

Good evening, firstly, I would like to thank you for your attention to this and secondly, I will tell you that what you indicated I already did, however, I did it again with the difference of starting vsual studio 2022 already updated as administrator.

However, it's still the same, outputting a message specifically when I click on "package sources" and therefore not allowing me to select "+", or type anything.

The message is the following:

"Operation failed

Could not initialize Nuget Package Manager configuration. To report a problem, use Help > Send Feedback > NOT report a problem"

I also tried the "Package origin assignment" option and when I click "add", visual studio restarts.

As for how I added the package from a file, what I did was go to "package sources" and chose the path of my pc, but I couldn't see the package in visual studio from the nuget package manager.

While trying to fix this error I also clicked "Clear all NUGET storage" in the "General" option of "Nuget Package Manager".

Likewise, I also uninstalled all the visual studio 2022 from the control panel as well as other installations that have to do with it and reinstalled, however it did not work.

I will be aware of your comments to solve my problem. Thanks for your attention.

Please open your NuGet.Config file under %appdata%\NuGet and check that the package source section is properly added. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <packageSources> <add key="nuget.org" value=https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json protocolVersion="3" /> </packageSources> </configuration>

If no, please refer to the document and create a new NuGet.config file.

Thank you very much, for your attention, I followed your instructions and indeed when checking my NuGet.Config file in %appdata%\NuGet, I had incorrectly ADDED a wrong PATH including a period:
<add key="LocalFeed" value=".e:\Test\Net6\APITEST" />
Now the problem is solved. Thank you so much.
