The Nuget Restore from VSO's build pipeline failed due to some nuget packages that are not compatible with netcoreapp2.1. However, when I looked through all the csproj files in the solution, none of the csproj files have these nuget packages. I might have installed these before but right now it's definitely not here.

Here's the csproj file that is mentioned in the error message.

 <ItemGroup>
 <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi" Version="5.2.6" />
 <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration" Version="2.2.0" />
 <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json" Version="2.2.0" />
 <PackageReference Include="xunit" Version="2.4.1" />
 <PackageReference Include="xunit.runner.visualstudio" Version="2.4.1" />
 </ItemGroup>

Here's the Nuget.Config file

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

Please advise how to fix this issue.

EDIT=====================================================

After removing the nuget package from Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi, the NugetRestore passed, but Build solution failed. It shows a different error

[error]C:Program Filesdotnetsdk2.2.104SdksMicrosoft.NET.SdktargetsMicrosoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(208,5):

Error NETSDK1004: Assets file
'd:agentwrok18s....objproject.assets.json' not found. Run a
NuGet package restore to generate this file.

This is the configuration for Build Solution

Any advice on the next step?

VSO Build Pipeline's Nuget Restore Failed

Just like Volodymyr commented, you should not use the package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi for the .net core project. That because this package is target for .NETFamework not .NET Core/.NETStandard, which is not compatible with .NET Core.

When you check the package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi no the nuget.org, you will notice that this package have a dependency Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost, which only target to the .NET Framework:

And the sub-dependency Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core of the package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost also only target to the .NET Framework:

So, the reason for this issue is that the package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi and its dependencies are not compatible with .NET Core framework.

Hope this helps.
