  1. Thanks for reporting!

    I haven’t seen that one before - can you share what VS version you have installed and which .NET versions?

    The extension should ensure the right versions of both are on your machine but perhaps it’s not sending commands to the right .NET version.

  3. Hello!
    So I found out what is happening but I haven't found out why.

    Do you have any more messages in any of the output tabs in VS?

    If you'd be up for trying something ... I'd try this:

    1. Open Developer Command Prompt
    2. Navigate to the following path (or equivalent for your Visual Studio install)
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\Notebook\InteractiveService
    
    1. Run
    dotnet tool restore
    

    image

    I'm hoping we'll see the above but if we don't ... I'm hoping we'll get more information.

  4. Do you have any more messages in any of the output tabs in VS?

    no, just the above message returning in loop. in the Output tab under DetectKernelStatueService

    1. Open Developer Command Prompt
    2. Navigate to the following path (or equivalent for your Visual Studio install)
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\Notebook\InteractiveService
    
    1. Run
    dotnet tool restore
    

    This didn't work for me, getting errors:

    ❯ dotnet tool restore
    C:\Users\Oren\AppData\Local\Temp\idgoxfsu.xo5\restore.csproj : error NU1101: Unable to find package microsoft.dotnet-interactive. No packages exist with this id in source(s): Microsoft Visual St
    udio Offline Packages
    
    Package "microsoft.dotnet-interactive" failed to restore, due to Microsoft.DotNet.ToolPackage.ToolPackageException: The tool package could not be restored.

       at Microsoft.DotNet.Tools.Tool.Restore.ToolRestoreCommand.InstallPackages(ToolManifestPackage package, Nullable`1 configFile)
    
    Restore failed.
    
  5. Checked my nuGet configuration at %appdata%\NuGet\nuget.config
    packageSources was empty

    I added the following line :

    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />

    And now everything is working after dotnet tool restore.

  6. Awesome I was just about to ask!

    These are the two nuget configs that I was going to ask to check:

    %appdata%\NuGet\NuGet.Config
    %ProgramFiles(x86)%\NuGet\Config
    

    Posting here as reference in the future.

    We'll work to add our own nuget.config to the extension to make this more robust. Thanks!!

  7. I wanted to add that my attempt to just include <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" /> to the file %appdata%\NuGet\nuget.config didn't work.

    After looking at some of the other files mentioned I was able to resolve the issue by modifying the file as follows.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <configuration>
    	<add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
    </configuration>
    
    

    Hoping this can help others resolve this issue faster.

  8. Hit the same error, but for me it turned out to be our corporate proxy blocking nuget.org - we typically get packages from an internal mirror. Adding http[s]_proxy environment variables worked as a workaround.
    Confusingly I'd tried installing dotnet-interactive as both a global and local tool, so I wonder what else you need to reach out to nuget.org for?
