NU1301–Unable to load the service index for source

Today a colleague contacted me because she got an error when trying to build a specific solution inside Visual Studio. The compilation process failed on contacting the internal Azure DevOps Artifacts nuget feed.

Instead she got the following error message:

NU1301 Unable to load the service index for source 

I tried to load and build the same project but I couldn’t reproduce the issue.

There are multiple reasons why this error message appears. I suggested here to try any of the following:

  • Restart Visual Studio: always a good one to try first
  • Run dotnet restore in Interactive Mode: Run the dotnet restore command in interactive mode can help resolve the issue.
  • Clear NuGet Cache: Sometimes, clearing the NuGet cache can help. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
nuget locals all -clear

Neither of my suggestions seemed to help. In the end she was able to solve the issue by removing the local nuget.config file. As she had the package feeds also configured at the global nuget.config file, Visual Studio was able to fall back and use these feeds.

Could it be that there was an error in the local nuget.config file?

That would sound like an obvious explanation. However when comparing both the local and global configuration, we couldn’t find any difference. Strange…

All input is welcome!

.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...
