Environment

Terminal repo commit: 8baba4b46c
NuGet installed from Chocolatey:

  • C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin on PATH
  • Running nuget in a fresh command prompt yields NuGet Version: 5.0.2.5988

Reproduction steps

  1. Open a cmd.exe command prompt and use cd to go to your Terminal repo working copy.
  2. Run this command: tools\razzle.cmd & nuget restore

Results

Expected results: NuGet should tell you all the packages are installed already
Actual results: NuGet fails with the error message Illegal characters on path

The run of NuGet by razzle.cmd itself is not affected by this issue, but it could be a problem if you need to run NuGet again after a git clean or similar, especially if and when the checked-in NuGet 4 binary in the repo is removed!

This sounds like a NuGet bug?

Yeah, but the workaround is so simple that I made a PR in this repo (#1046) to fix it. I'll also file a bug against NuGet.
