**Using version&nbsp;1.5.0.135**  
  
I thought I have done this several times before, but somehow it doesn’t work for me now.  
  
1) Create a new project  
2) Add project level variable (text or password, doesn’t matter) with a nuget token  
3) Create a configuration with several stages and add a NuGet Push action:  
  
Package:&nbsp;$Workspace$\Artifacts%ProjectName%.Core.%GitVersion\_NuGetVersion%.nupkg  
API Key: %NuGetToken%  
  
Then I get this error:  
  
&nbsp;NuGet Push [$Workspace$\Artifacts%ProjectName%.Core.%GitVersion\_NuGetVersion%.nupkg] &nbsp; Show Expanded Name 7:24 PM 7:24 PM 0 milliseconds Failure  
Action ‘NuGet Push [$Workspace$\Artifacts%ProjectName%.Core.%GitVersion\_NuGetVersion%.nupkg]’ has failed due to an error.&nbsp;  
Could not expand query ‘%NuGetToken%’. The expression ‘%NuGetToken%’ contains errors: Unknown Variable : NuGetToken  
  
Can this be something with scoping? I have tried deleting and recreating the variable, but that didn’t work.

Bizarre, even when I replace all usages by actual guids, the error consists. Might this be caused by a copy/paste of an action?

I have deleted all the actions and re-added them, the fixed guids are now working. I think updating the token isn’t working correctly ATM.
