MSBuild fails, but after loading project in VisualStudio it works with MSBuild

I have a fresh Windows 10 installation wih VS2017 installed.

VisualStudio is closed. After calling nuget restore xxx.sln I get the following error message:

Now I open VisualStudio and load the project xxx.sln file and call the nuget restore cmd again, everything is fine:

I have installed the same VisualStudio packages and set exactly the same envirenment variables/path than on our first build server but I can't get it working. Someone knows this behavior?

So if trying to build the project is exactly the same problem. Error messages and after loading the project in vs, everything is working as excepected!

adding this flag should help as nuget.exe utility searches for the latest msbuild which may not always work. Using the one as VS gives you the right level of certainty.

nuget restore xxx.sln -msbuildpath <your msbuild path>

example:

nuget restore myProject.csproj -Source https://NuGet.org/api/v2/ -msbuildpath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin"

The problem is solved, but I cannot explain what was the cause in detail.

To solve the error messages I have rebuild the nuget files with dotnet. But then I couldn't fetch the git branches.. so I went further and saw that my server where the own nuget package stream and git was running, had no disc space left. I cleaned the hdd and I could build it without any errors.

So I think this was part of the errors and the strange behavior..

MSBuild fails, but after loading project in VisualStudio it works with MSBuild

I have already reported the same issue to the nuget team, then I have received the following reply:

This message is expected, but it should not block your restore.

In the future once msbuild provides a way to skip projects that are missing a target this message will go away: Microsoft/msbuild#2471

Ticket for this issue:

https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/5940

If this block your restore or you seeing a failure in the log, please try to update the nuget.exe version in the build server, if this still doesn't work, you can re-open the issue 5940 with some more details info.

Hope this helps.
