Error when installing NuGet API package

[Guest andreif]

I’m having this error message, when trying to install CIAPI package via NuGet:

PM> install-package CIAPI.CS Install-Package : The package source named ‘CityIndex API [http://code.labs.cityindex.com/nuget/odata/v1/]’ is either invalid or n ot available and thus is currently unreachable. At line:1 char:16 + install-package <<<< CIAPI.CS

+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: ( [install-Package], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.Cmdlets.InstallPackageCmdlet  

PS Probably, this is a conflict with my firewall/antivirus software (Outpost Security Suite)

I’m getting this response:

<service xml:base="http://code.labs.cityindex.com/nuget/odata/v1/">

−
<collection href="Packages">
<atom:title>Packages</atom:title>

</workspace>
</service>

UPD I’ve made a new test project and package installation failed on the first attempt, but succeeded on the second. And the same result with another new test project.

I think this is an issue specific to your connection/firewall; as I’m currently able to connect to that url

If you manually browse to (say in Firefox): http://code.labs.cityindex.com/nuget/odata/v1/

Your should get back:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>
<service xml:base="http://code.labs.cityindex.com/nuget/odata/v1/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">
  <workspace>
    <atom:title>Default</atom:title>
    <collection href="Packages">
      <atom:title>Packages</atom:title>
    </collection>
  </workspace>
</service>

What result do you get in a browser?

My best guess is that the NuGet server is taking a while to spin up; causing a timeout on your end. Your second request will get a cached response; avoiding the timeout.

Once the CIAPI.CS packages stabilise we’ll look to host them in the main NuGet feed. In the meantime you’re just going to have to get twice :–#
