MSBuild 15 NuGet restore and build

Question

I\'m trying to get the new MSBuild NuGet restore feature to work and having an odd problem.

If I do:

msbuild.exe mySolution.sln /p:Configuration=Rele         


        

Answer 1

MSBuild 15.5 will introduce a /restore flag that implements this functionality.

Before that, it is theoretically possible to run both a restore and build in the same invocation (/t:Restore;Build) but it is unsafe as MSBuild may cache project files and not see changes made by a NuGet restore. The /restore option will clear all the affected caches before resuming with the normal build.
