With Powershell 5.1, it fails as you described. But with PowerShell Core 7, it works correctly:
PS> Find-Package nuget.versioning -Source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -ProviderName NuGet
Name Version Source Summary
---- ------- ------ -------
NuGet.Versioning 4.6.4 nuget.org NuGet's implementation of Semantic Versioning.
Note that you can check for your PowerShell version through the PSVersionTable
variable:
PS> $PSVersionTable
Name Value
---- -----
PSVersion 7.0.0
PSEdition Core
GitCommitId 7.0.0
OS Microsoft Windows 10.0.18362
Platform Win32NT
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0…}
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1
WSManStackVersion 3.0
On PowerShell Core 7, you will see that it uses version 3 of the NuGet package provider, thus it supports protocol v3.
