this is happening again
This task fails based on Github dependencies. There’s again an active Github availability issue. See https://www.githubstatus.com/
Instead of ‘+1’-ing, I suggest a change in the UseDotnet task.
Why not caching the release list and use the old list when the new one can’t be parsed or reached? A lot of the time the tools are cached anyways, so this might solve this issue for a lot of us.
cc @hiyadav, can this issue be opened again until it is really fixed?
It’s most likely due to ongoing issues at GitHub right now, see https://www.githubstatus.com/
Just wanted to note that the original post says the workaround is to add packageType: ‘sdk’ to the task’s inputs… This exists already in my YAML configuration but the task is still failing.
Site says that fix has been deployed but I am still getting same error
btw it looks like the issue is resolved
Happening with us now.
I just experienced this issue. I believe its still there. Please reopen

We are seeing it as well. Worked fine this morning and the past 6 months
We’re seeing it too.
We are suddenly getting this error too… Everything was working fine this morning.
August 2021 and the issue still occurs. Thinking out of the box here, could it be that we (the world) are just going with to much servers to the same location? Because this error occurs sporadically with us (about 6 out of 10 times)
+1
I notice this is closed. The workaround does NOT work. Is there another open issue? By the way, I commented out UseDotNet@2 and it appears my pipeline succeeded.
We are suddenly getting this error too… Everything was working fine this morning.
I am getting the same error in our Private agent, Hosted agents it is working fine.
