I'm trying to give the SignalR Sample a test drive but it seems it references an old version of SignalR which is no longer available. The actual problem is that NuGet cannot remove the unavailable package without first restoring it !!!
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR
Install-Package : Some NuGet packages are missing from the solution. The packages need to be restored in order to build the dependency graph. Restore the packages before performing any operations.
At line:1 char:1
+ Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Install-Package], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetMissingPackages,NuGet.PackageManagement.PowerShellCmdlets.InstallPackageCommand
Then there will be a Restore
button on the Package Manager Console
which pressing it will result in the following error:
An error occurred while trying to restore packages: Unable to find version '2.1.0-pre-131116-b279' of package 'Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Client'
How can I install a newer version of an addressed package if the current version can not be found?
I'm using:
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
Version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.6.01038
NuGet Package Manager 3.3.0
[UPDATE]
When I try to uninstall the troublesome package:
PM> Uninstall-Package -Id Microsfot.AspNet.SignalR -RemoveDependencies -Force
Uninstall-Package : Some NuGet packages are missing from the solution. The packages need to be restored in order to build the dependency graph. Restore the packages before performing any operations.
