scriptcs -install stopped working

[dagid4]

It looks like NuGet.Core no longer works (it is deprecated for a while) and packages now cannot be installed with scriptcs -install. It may be related to:

NuGet.org will permanently remove support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on June 15th. Please ensure that your systems use TLS 1.2.

Please confirm:

C:\Users\*****\Desktop\scriptcs-scriptcs-ceb8443\src\ScriptCs\bin\Release>scriptcs -install Castle.Core
Installing packages...
ERROR: Error installing package. [InvalidOperationException] Unable to find package 'Castle.Core'.
ERROR: Package installation failed. [AggregateException] One or more errors occurred.

C:\Users\*****\Desktop\scriptcs-scriptcs-ceb8443\src\ScriptCs\bin\Release>scriptcs -install Moq
Installing packages...
ERROR: Error installing package. [InvalidOperationException] Unable to find package 'Moq'.
ERROR: Package installation failed. [AggregateException] One or more errors occurred.

If package is cached, then it works:

C:\Users\*****\Desktop\scriptcs-scriptcs-ceb8443\src\ScriptCs\bin\Release>scriptcs -install Newtonsoft.Json
Installing packages...

Package installation succeeded.

Make sure you try on package you haven't used yet.

Here's a work around to unblock installing packages until scriptcs maintainers fix this issue (short answer: just use NuGet directly):

• download latest version of nuget.exe (put it somewhere that's added on your Path)
• create a new directory for your project (or use existing project directory) and cd into there
• create a scriptcs_packages folder
• perform an install with: nuget install <packageId> -OutputDirectory scriptcs_packages
• Optional steps (for easier dependency management):
  • List the version(s) of packages you just installed:
    nuget list -Verbose -Source <absolute path to scriptcs_packages>
  • For each entry, add the packageId and version to your packages.config manually (unless someone knows how to automate?)
  • Next time you want to install, run: nuget install -OutputDirectory scriptcs_packages

Example package.config (notice my steps above don't show how to obtain targetFramework - sorry look this up elsewhere):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
    <package id="ScriptCs.Wpf" version="0.1.4" targetFramework="net45" />
</packages>
