Unable to Find Package (Hardware Extensions)

Symptom

An error may occur while building macros that target .NET6+, when referencing hardware-specific input extensions.  The error will look similar to:

error NU1101: Unable to find package Keysight.SA.Vsa.HardwareExtensions.Xyz.

Where "Xyz" is a hardware-specific name for a hardware extension installed separately from the main 89600 VSA software.

The root cause is no .NET6+ client library package exists for this type of hardware.

Possible Solutions

  1. To set or get input extension properties, modify the code to use the InputExtension methods GetParameter, SetParameter and ParameterNames instead of using the strongly-typed properties.  Then remove the package reference and any type references and recompile the client code.
  2. If .NET6+ client libraries are supported, be sure they exist and are accessible through the source mappings for the .NET project. This may require modifying a nuget.config file to enable searching additional paths for nuget packages.
  3. If only .NET 4.8 client support is required, re-record the macro with only ".NET 4.8" enabled:
