ProGet: Chocolately unable to connect

[greg.swiderski_0221]

I have a feed created and I can see the package if I browse to it via the browser just fine.
However with chocolatey I'm unable to connect. I have no idea why and logs aren't really telling me anything but:

As you can see it's localhost. Local firewall is disabled. I can connect to that port too:

Test-NetConnection localhost -port 8624


ComputerName     : localhost
RemoteAddress    : 127.0.0.1
RemotePort       : 8624
InterfaceAlias   : Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
SourceAddress    : 127.0.0.1
TcpTestSucceeded : True

Does any one have any ideas on where I can look next?

Hi @greg-swiderski_0221 ,

It looks like there is an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error that's occurring while trying to connect:

2024-04-30 09:52:41,341 8256 [WARN ] - Unable to connect to source 'http://localhost:8624/nuget/approved-choco/':
 Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

That error is presumably occurring from the Chocolatey client (choco), and unfortunately there's no way to know what it means. Most likely, it's an "error reporting an error" message, but it's hard to say.

You could use some HTTP monitoring software (Fiddler Classic, Wireshark), and see if ProGet is returning an error of some kind.... but even if so, choco should report that error.

I would check with the chocolatey team on this one.

Thanks,
Steve
