Azure DevOps Server–Error publishing nuget packages

As part of our build process we package and push a set of nuget packages to our artifacts repository. Recently we made the switch to Azure Artifacts after which uploading packages started to fail with the following error message:

The nuget command failed with exit code(1) and error(Response status code does not indicate success: 409 (Conflict - The feed already contains ‘ExceptionHandling.Database 6.4.1'. (DevOps Activity ID: CAEC4462-2E20-4C69-9AFE-3BBC3C961E20)).)

Packages failed to publish

Ok, it seems that Azure Artifacts doesn’t like it when you try to upload the same packages multiple times. (We bumped the package version manually and didn’t care about overwriting an existing package so far). Can we fix this?

We are using the NuGet task. This task has an interesting option: ‘Allow duplicates to be skipped’. Let’s try this…

Unfortunately we ended up with the same error message as above. Let’s take a look at the documentation:

If you continually publish a set of packages and only change the version number of the subset of packages that changed, use this option. It allows the task to report success even if some of your packages are rejected with 409 Conflict errors.

This option is currently only available on Azure Pipelines and using Windows agents. If NuGet.exe encounters a conflict, the task will fail.

Aha, the last line explains everything. We are using Azure DevOps Server and it seems that this option only works in the cloud(no idea why?).

As a workaround I switched to a commandline task and invoked nuget.exe directly. If you are using a recent nuget.exe version you can add the –skipduplicate option to skip existing packages.

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
