Unable to publish Azure Web App due to NuGet Packages missing.

Question

Attempting to publish web app for Azure IoT project. Code can be found here: https://github.com/Microsoft/MXDial-IoT-Sample.git

Using Visual Studio 2017 or 2022 Community and receive warnings for 70+ warnings. Tried going into Tools/NuGet Package Manager and setting option to automatically check for missing packages with no luck. This is an older project, so curious if it is an issue on my side or with the source code.

Answer 1

I didn't run into any issues with the repo @Saraih King . From a Visual Studio Powershell prompt, I ran the following commands

   gh repo clone microsoft/MXDial-IoT-Sample  
   cd .\MDXDial-IoT-Sample\backend  
   nuget restore .\MxDialBackend.sln  
   msbuild .\MxDialBackend.sln -p:Configuration=Debug  

I suggest doing a git clean -xdf to clean your folder and do a nuget restore, see if the operation succeeds without issue. Furthermore, a yaml configured to restore the nuget packages and build the backend solution should work the exact same way.
