The type initializer for 'NuGet.ConfigurationDefaults' threw an exception. #834

tvperez · 2015-06-23T00:48:51Z

Hi All,

I just installed the latest version of the Nuget Console Manager and it appears that no matter what command I use on the Nuget.exe command line app, I get the following exception: The type initializer for 'NuGet.ConfigurationDefaults' threw an exception.

Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.

Sincerely,
Tony

Hey Tony, can you please provide us with more details?

Are you using visual studio extension or nuget.exe (Console Manager is in visual studio, and nuget.exe is on the command line).

What version are you using? Where did you get it from? What do you mean by installing it.

Are you able to provide a call stack, and a reproducible scenario?

tvperez · 2015-06-24T17:10:18Z

Hi Yishai,

I am using both the Visual Studio Extension and the Nuget.exe. Neither one is working at the moment.

The version is the Nuget.exe is 2.8.5. I downloaded both the VS Extension and Nuget.exe from http://docs.nuget.org/consume/installing-nuget.

As for the call stack, this is what I get from Nuget.exe:

The type initializer for 'NuGet.ConfigurationDefaults' threw an exception.
at NuGet.ConfigurationDefaults.InitializeInstance()
at NuGet.ConfigurationDefaults..cctor()
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at NuGet.ConfigurationDefaults.get_Instance()
at NuGet.PackageSourceBuilder.CreateSourceProvider(ISettings settings)
at NuGet.Commands.Command.Execute()
at NuGet.Program.Main(String[] args)

Thank you for your time and expertise.

Sincerely,
Tony V Perez

What version of visual studio are you usng?

And can you attach a debugger and get more info on the exception? I can't tell what is the inner exception

tvperez · 2015-06-24T19:06:45Z

I am using Visual Studio 2013 Update 4.

As for attaching a debugger, the error occurs the moment I execute the Nuget.exe app.

Here is how to do it, run nuget.exe from visual studio,

Use File->Open project and select Exe Project File from the bottom right drop down

Then set all the parameters you need on the properties page

Hi Yishai,

When I loaded the Nuget.exe as a project, I received the following message:
[cid:image001.jpg@01D0B250.15584AA0]

As for debugging, the executable terminates even if I tried to use the Debug “Step into new process”. As for the activity log, this is what was logged:

The log doesn't seem related to nuget.exe, and the image didn't come through.

Can you try again to share the image? Perhaps use github.com directly instead of by email?

tvperez · 2015-07-01T17:15:06Z

I’ve attached the image.

The log was generated when attempting to use the Nuget package from VS2013. So far, it appears that this issue is due to the Nuget application inability to load a configuration file. My questions are:

  Which configuration file or registry entry is consumed when the Nuget application initializes?

  Is it possible to force the Nuget.exe to start in verbose mode?

Hi Yishai,

Here’s a stack trace generated from Nuget.exe:

Does this help?

Look for nuget.config files in your folder and up the tree, and also in XXX\AppData\Roaming\NuGet

yishaigalatzer · 2015-07-09T23:54:36Z

ping, any updates?

yishaigalatzer · 2015-11-17T23:22:26Z

This looks like a duplicate of an issue we have for throwing proper exception when configuration is corrupt. The error should throw the file name that is introducing the problem.
