Azure feed not syncing with ProGet
-
I have setup Azure artifact feeds that should sync up to proget through a connector. I use a PAT from a DevOps account as authentication and have seen this work in a PoC we setup a while ago. Somehow I cannot get this to work on a fresh install at the moment. The connector is setup to connect to https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/companyname/Projectname/_packaging/Repositoryname/nuget/v3/index.json and I have enabled both Nuget API v2 and V3 on the ProGet feed. There are currently no errors to give me any kind of direction to go in.
Does anyone have an idea as to what I am missing here?

Hi @cstekelenburg_4169 ,
ProGet does not "sync" remote repositories, but instead displays and caches results through a "connector" you configure. If there are any connector errors, they will be logged when you do a query.
Azure artifacts do not support searching or listing packages, so you won't "see" a package unless you type in the exact package name.

@dean-houston Sync or cache, whatever it is, packages are not showing in proget at all. We have had a PoC that worked the way we expected it to work, pointed the connector to the azure artifact feed -> packages show up in proget, we pull/approve them and can install them through proget on an endpoint. That's the idea, but I can't get it to work now, and there are still no errors within proget at the moment. So what am I missing?

Azure Artifacts does not support the NuGet Search API, so this means you won't see packages on the feed/search page in ProGet. This is expected behavior with rudimentary NuGet repositories that don't support listing/searching.
In the past, I'm guessing that you either:
- used the Azure Feed Import Wizard, which will perform a one-time download using a special (non-NuGet API)
- pulled packages via the NuGet API (e.g. with nuget.exe, visual studio, etc), which will then would cache them in ProGet

Unfortunately I cannot check how it was done in our PoC at this time, but let me rephrase the question: We have a DevOps repository with azure artifact feeds, how would I configure proget to keep the proget feed in "sync" with the artifact feed as that will be the source for new and updated for proget?
I have tried a connector, but for some reason I'm still not getting results, but also not seeing errors.

Hi @cstekelenburg_4169 ,
If you created a connector with the proper URL, username, and password, then you've set it up correctly.
Please note, you will not be able to list or search remote packages in the ProGet UI. This is a limitation, since ADO is rudimentary and does not support listing/searching.
Instead, you will need to use the NuGet API (Visual Studio, Nuget.exe) to pull packages. Once package has been pulled through ProGet, you will "see it" in the UI since it's been cached.
I'm not trying to be pedantic with terminology, but please note it's not a "sync" -- it's more of a "proxy" or "pass through". When you make a request via the NuGet API, that API request is forwarded to your connector (I.e. Azure DevOps).
