I am working on a .net solution and use nuget for my package management. I have selected the option to "Enable Nuget Package Restore" so that the nuget packages not checked in to source control.
Prior to this I had a nuget.config file at the same level as the solution where I included to following enabling me to specify the location of the nuget packages.
<settings>
<repositoryPath>..\Build\NuGetPackages\</repositoryPath>
</settings>
Since I enabled the nuget package restore, this is no longer working. I tried to update the config file within the .nuget generated folder but that does not work either.
So where I am going wrong and how can I specify the location of the packages folder?
You can change the next property in your-solution\.nuget\NuGet.targets
file:
<PackagesDir>$([System.IO.Path]::Combine($(SolutionDir), "packages"))</PackagesDir>
Or the same property, but in group below if you are using Mono.
When you enable nuget package restore, there is a NuGet.Config file in the .nuget folder.
Here is a copy showing the path to my libs folder. You can modify yours to match your path. I think its a little cleaner than the already selected answer.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<solution>
<add key="disableSourceControlIntegration" value="true" />
</solution>
<config>
<add key="repositoryPath" value="../../libs/packages" />
</config>
</configuration>
You should also look at the nuget 2.1 release notes here http://docs.nuget.org/docs/release-notes/nuget-2.1, where there is a new setting added to nuget.config to specify package folder location
<configuration>
<config>
<add key=" repositoryPath" value=" C:\myteam\teampackages" />
</config>
...
</configuration>
