'dotnet restore' vs. 'nuget restore' with TeamCity

Question

I have an ASP.NET Core project that builds properly with Visual Studio, but it doesn\'t build under MSBuild.

It doesn\'t find all the common libraries (system, etc.)

Answer 1

nuget restore will ensure all of your NuGet dependencies are downloaded and available to your project. Whereas dotnet restore is a complete restoration of all NuGet dependencies as well as references and project specific tools. Meaning that if you run nuget restore, you are only restoring NuGet packages.

According to docs.microsoft.com: Dotnet Restore

The dotnet restore command uses NuGet to restore dependencies as well as project-specific tools that are specified in the project file...
