Fix error "Cannot determine the packages folder to restore NuGet packages"

I'm getting the following error during the Azure Cloud Build process. How can I fix the problem?

"##[error]Cannot determine the packages folder to restore NuGet packages. Please specify either -PackagesDirectory or -SolutionDirectory."

I ran into this error verbatim after running nuget.exe restore on a project that didn't actually reference any NuGet packages, however, within the project's directory sat a packages.config file containing an entry to a package. This config file was not included or referenced by the project, it was just sitting in the directory.

Deleting the stray packages.config file resolved the error.

Just like the build log said, you should give a argument the -PackagesDirectory or -SolutionDirectory to specify a folder to store the packages.

Check the restore options for more details.

Hope this helps.
