Hello,
1. What is the exact error message you get when the webapp fails to fetch the nuget package?
2. Is this a private Nuget package?
Kudu takes care of the build and deployment phase in Azure webapps, It fetches the changes linked to the commit that triggered the service, and prepares a local working environment. If your project is configured to use NuGet package restore, then this will
happen in a pre-build step. It is key to understand that NuGet package restore by default is executed as part of the MSBuild process.
If you package any of your tools or libraries as private NuGet packages, exposed publically via authenticated
A workaround is to add a custom NuGet.config file, stored at the same level as your .SLN file which will contain an entry for your private NuGet feed and also credentials stored in plain text. You cannot use encrypted credentials as the encryption is generated
on a per-machine basis
<activePackageSource>
<add key="All" value="(Aggregate source)" />
</activePackageSource>
<packageSources>
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/" />
<add key="custom_package_source" value="https://custom_package_source/nuget/v1/FeedService.svc/" />
</packageSources>
<disabledPackageSources />
<packageSourceCredentials>
<custom_package_source>
<add key="Username" value="CustomUsername" />
<add key="ClearTextPassword" value="CustomPassword" />
</custom_package_source>
</packageSourceCredentials>
When you deploy via Kudu, this should allow the build process to discover your private feed, authenticate & restore your packages.
If you do not require authentication against your private feed, remove the <packageSourceCredentials> element.
