I have various Nuget packages installed to my solution. Some in my domain project and some in my MVC Front End project.

This all works quite happily. However if you get the project new from source control I can see I have all the packages in the packages folder. However they all appear to have an exclamation after them in References for the projects.

If I use nuget command nuget install .\ProjectFolder\Packages.config it seems to install the pacakges again but the refrences still don’t appear. I have to manually install them using nuget manage references and install them individually. Which is a bit of a hassle for new developers starting projects.

Seems a bit odd? Is something wrong or is this normal? Shouldn’t Nuget/VS2010 know that all packages exist and be happy as the packages are all in the local file system from source control (I know there is a debate about keeping them there but lets leave that aside)

Thanks

    I’m guessing it isn’t normal. I removed the entire packages folder. Re-added all packages to my solution and then committed all the changes.

    It now it seems to work if I re-get the site from source control. Maybe something was corrupted. The project was originally started before I was using source control and nuget. Maybe some sort of initial setup issue.

    Thanks
