Nuget.exe prompting for credentials on every restore about artifacts-credprovider HOT 7 CLOSED

Discussing changes to docs in #95

Hi @AMoghrabi,

When you installed the credential provider, did you use the -AddNetfx option (or manually copy the netfx folder)? nuget.exe uses the .NET Framework version of the credential provider in %userprofile%/.nuget/plugins/netfx, as opposed to the one in %userprofile%/.nuget/plugins/netcore.

You should be able to run "nuget.exe restore ..." (as long as you don't pass -NonInteractive), running msbuild first is not required.

Hello @zarenner,

Thanks for the reply. I did not copy the netfx folder because I thought it wasn't required. I misunderstood this piece of the documentation found in the README:

Note: copying the netfx directory is not recommended unless you don't plan to install an edition of Visual Studio (including the Build Tools edition). All Visual Studio editions come with (and automatically update) the netfx version of the Credential Provider.

My apologies, and thanks for clarifying 👍 I'll give this a shot and close the issue if it works out.

Your solution worked, thanks again. Would you mind clarifying the text I quoted above? I'm still a little confused about what it's trying to communicate.

That documentation confuses me as well, to be honest. I believe it may be incorrect - while VS does come with the credential provider (since the Package Manager in VS uses it), it's not in a path that the nuget.exe plugin discovery mechanism will find.

Let me confirm this, and if that's indeed the case we'll get that documentation updated. Sorry for the confusion.

Not a problem! I appreciate the quick responses.

Updated docs, closing this issue. Thanks for reporting, I'm sure it'll help others confused by the documentation as well. Please let me know if anything is still confusing.
