Unable to add nuget packages - or open Workbook with nuget package

Depechie

Running Xamarin Workbooks v1.3.1 and when I try to create a new workbook for Xamarin forms, the spinner keeps turning saying "Adding nuget package" when I try to add Xamarin Forms nuget package.

When I try one of the Xamarin forms workbooks examples from Xamarin GitHub, the workbook opens en Loading Packages keeps spinning on top without any result.

Tips on how to get this working?

Hi @Depechie,

This could indicate that you have some extra nuget repositories configured that are slow on the server side. Could you attach your log file? I believe it will have information about what nuget repositories are being searched. See https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/workbooks/install/#Reporting_Bugs for log file information.

Also, are you on Mac or Windows?

Depechie

Running on Mac.
Will see about the log files... and post them later!

Opened the log file and seems I keep getting this:

If you could post the full log on gist.github.com that could help as well.

Depechie

Sure!
Here you go : https://gist.github.com/Depechie/4a8150170ded1a9ebd70231d96bda1b5

@SandyArmstrong any thoughts? Something that can be solved?

SandyArmstrong

I'll have to look into this next week, sorry for the delay.

Depechie

No worries... thx for the update!

Sadly have the same issue on Mac v1.4.0

Here's my gist: https://gist.github.com/JannieT/03ee504804bf59a781de276c08d737c3

It appears to be a network issue of some kind, but I can download and update NuGet packages in Visual Studio for Mac all morning.
