Azure Pipelines- Error parsing solution file

After installing the latest Visual Studio Build tools(17.7.2) on our build server, some of our (older) pipelines started to fail with the following error message:

##[error]The nuget command failed with exit code(1) and error

(System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> NuGet.CommandLine.CommandLineException: Error parsing solution file at D:\b\3\_work\154\s\Source\Example.sln: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

NuGet Version: 4.1.0.2450

MSBuild auto-detection: using msbuild version '17.7.2.37605' from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\bin'. Use option -MSBuildVersion to force nuget to use a specific version of MSBuild.

I noticed in the stack trace above that an older NuGet version was used:

NuGet Version: 4.1.0.2450

Maybe that is causing issues? I introduced an extra build task in the pipeline that uses a newer NuGet version:

 


Yes! That solved the problem…

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...
