I've setup a private NuGet repository on a network folder (eg. \\networkfolder\nugetfeed\) but my Package Manager in Visual Studio 2019 cannot read packages nested in subfolders in that repository. Eg. I've generated a new folder tree for a package testlib1.0.0.nupkg and it looks like:
testlib:
- 1.0.0:
- lib
- testlib1.0.0.nupkg
- testlib1.0.0.nupkg.sha512
- testlib.nuspec
I then uploaded this whole folder to the remote repository and PM cannot find it. When I put the testlib1.0.0.nupkg file into the root folder in the repository, PM can see it without any problems.I also created a local repository (eg. c:\nugetLocalFeed) and added it to my VS and PM can now read packages from subfolders without any problem. I also checked my folder access privileges on the shared drive. I am ale to create and read folder using Windows's file explorer and I run VS on the same account, with the same rights (and I run it as Admin).
Why is the NuGet Package Manager having problems reading packages from subfolders on the remote repository?
