vscode-nuget-package-manager Versioning information could not be retrieved from the NuGet package repository. Please try again later.

Issue Type: Bug

Lately in vscode I'm receiving this error message:

Versioning information could not be retrieved from the NuGet package repository. Please try again later.

This happens right after I select a nuget package I would like to install through the command-P system of vscode. It seems to happen with every Nuget package I've tried, so I don't think it's a package-specific issue. Googled, but not seeing others complain about this, so figured I'd post here.

I still experience this issue to this day...

I've created a PR that I think fixes this issue: https://github.com/jmrog/vscode-nuget-package-manager/pull/49

Basically, lowercases the selectedPackageName in the fetchPackageVersions method. This is based on this stack overflow answer, which did help me resolve the issue locally: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63087568/650558

Does @jmrog still monitor this repo?

Mar 04 '22 20:03 winzig

Same not working for me too ...

@winzig any update ?

My patch is working fine for me. My pull request hasn't been accepted however.

Apr 15 '22 14:04 winzig

Hi everyone, and apologies to all for the delays. I do not really check or maintain this repo any longer, nor do I use the extension itself. @winzig I will approve and merge the patch, and try to get an updated version released as soon as I can.

in the meantime, this work around is working: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58108809/versioning-information-could-not-be-retrieved-from-the-nuget-package-repository

node_fetch_1.default(`${versionsUrl}${selectedPackageName.toLowerCase()}/index.json`

thanks the toLowerCase fixes the issue. finally no manually add the packagereference :)

how much more time should pass for this bug to be fixed?

Jul 14 '22 12:07 y0f0

Almost a year later and this issue still exists. Any chance @jmrog can get a new version pushed?

+1

+1 The node_fetch_1.default(${versionsUrl}${selectedPackageName.toLowerCase()}/index.json workaround still works thankfully but would nice to get a proper fix please, @jmrog
