Nuget keeps telling me dat it cannot prompt for input in non-interactive mode. I added the credentials to the nuget.config and added nuget the -NonInteractive switch to the nuget command. I guess i'm doing something wrong... But what?

Part of the build log:

You can now properly use a cleartext password in a local nuget.config, as explained in this post: http://www.xavierdecoster.com/deploying-to-azure-web-sites-using-nuget-package-restore-from-a-secured-feed

Also check the nuget.config settings documentation at http://docs.nuget.org/docs/reference/nuget-config-settings.
