Azure Pipelines error - User lacks permission to complete this action. You need to have 'ReadPackages'.

I blogged before about the following Azure Pipelines error wen trying to do a NuGet restore:

##[error]The nuget command failed with exit code(1) and error(Unable to load the service index for source https://tfs.server.be/tfs/DefaultCollection/_packaging/797f899f-9ad1-4158-93bc-8f3293cf4a59/nuget/v3/index.json.

Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden - User 'Build\534a066a-3992-4851-a816-b189836bee69' lacks permission to complete this action. You need to have 'ReadPackages'. (DevOps Activity ID: 8D53BF1D-E45E-49C4-879F-6CBD8635D1CE)).

Although the solution I mentioned in the original blogpost should work, I found a different solution that should also do the trick.

Here are the steps:

  • Go to the Azure DevOps project that contains the failed pipeline in Azure DevOps.
  • Go to Artifacts
  • Select the feed that causes the problem from the drop down (if not selected by default)
  • Click the Feed Setting gear on the top right corner.
  • Go to Permissions and click on Add Users/groups
  • Search for <ProjectName> Build Service and add as Contributor.

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

VS Code Planning mode

After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
