"Unable to resolve package source" when registering PowerShell repository
-
Using a ProGet installation with built-in user security enabled, I am trying to register my PowerShell feed as a repository and install a module from it. I am using a Personal API token to handle authentication. I am trying to run the following in PowerShell:
$progeturl = "my-proget-url.example.com" $repository = "third-party-powershell" $apikey = Read-Host -MaskInput # Prompts for API Token $password = ConvertTo-SecureString $apikey -AsPlainText -Force $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential("api", $password) Register-PSRepository -Name $repository -SourceLocation "https://${progeturl}/nuget/${repository}/" -Credential $credential
This results in the following response:
WARNING: Unable to resolve package source 'https://my-proget-url.example.com/nuget/third-party-powershell/'
The
Get-PSRepository
command shows my new "third-party-powershell" module in the list, but when I try to install a module, I get the following output:PS C:\> Install-Module -Name "PsIni" -RequiredVersion "3.1.2" -Repository "third-party-powershell" WARNING: Unable to resolve package source 'https://my-proget-url.example.com/nuget/third-party-powershell/'. Install-Package: No match was found for the specified search criteria and module name 'PsIni'. Try Get-PSRepository to see all available registered module repositories.
If I attempt to register the repository without passing the credential, I get the error:
Register-PSRepository: The specified Uri 'https://my-proget-url.example.com/nuget/third-party-powershell/' for parameter 'SourceLocation' is an invalid Web Uri. Please ensure that it meets the Web Uri requirements.
Using the
-Credential
flag in theInstall-Module
call does not make a difference in the returned output. I have no configured proxy that could be impacting the register or install calls.I'm a little stumped! How can I use PowerShell feeds configured in my ProGet installation?

It looks like you're following the right steps; here is our HOW-TO guide on the topic:
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget-powershell-private-module-repositoryIf I had to guess, the issue is with HTTPS/TLS resolution. That's what most search results for "Unable to resolve package source" came up with, anyway. You'd have to use a tool like Wireshark to be sure, since the error message from PowerShell isn't very helpful.
You can force PowerShell to use TLS12:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12It might also be certificate related. You may get a better error message if you do like a Invoke-WebRequest to your ProGet URL.

Hello and thanks for the suggestions, @atripp!
I tried doing an
Invoke-WebRequest
against the repository URL. It appears to work fine, which is nice but also a pain as it indicates the problem is more complicated.PS C:\> [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 PS C:\> $test = Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing "https://${progeturl}/nuget/${repository}/" Invoke-WebRequest: You must log in to issue this request because the anonymous user does not have the Feeds_ViewFeed privilege. PS C:\> PS C:\> $test = Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing "https://${progeturl}/nuget/${repository}/" -Credential $credential PS C:\> $test StatusCode : 200 StatusDescription : OK Content : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><service xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2007/app"><workspace><title xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">Default</title><collection href="Packages"><title xmlns="http://…"> RawContent : HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate, no-cache, max-age=0 Pragma: no-cache Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0 X-ProGet-Version: 22.0.7.3 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2022 … Headers : {[Cache-Control, System.String[]], [Pragma, System.String[]], [Server, System.String[]], [X-ProGet-Version, System.String[]]…} Images : {} InputFields : {} Links : {} RawContentLength : 273 RelationLink : {} PS C:\> echo $test.Content <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><service xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2007/app"><workspace><title xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">Default</title><collection href="Packages"><title xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">Packages</title></collection></workspace></service>
I will attempt to use a tool like Wireshark or Fiddler to see what's going on.
