Install dotnet-script fail

[anw194rb]

Hi all,

I have a pipeline YAML that is attempting to install dotnet-script, but it fails. My YAML for this is:

steps:
- task: UseDotNet@2
  displayName: 'Use .NET 6'
  inputs:
    version: 6.x

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'Prepare Phrase SAAS'
  inputs:
    command: 'custom'
    custom: 'tool'
    arguments: 'update --global dotnet-script'
    includeNugetOrg: true

But I get the following error from Azure...

Tool 'dotnet-script' failed to update due to the following:
The tool package could not be restored.
Tool 'dotnet-script' failed to install. This failure may have been caused by: ...

I'm new to Azure pipelines, first time, so any help appreciated!

if it's an install, should you not be calling dotnet tool install instead of update?

Possibly, I'd read that 'update' will do both, but 'install' would fail if already present, so tried it out. I also moved the nuget restore to before the script call and it gets past this (also added the ignore-failed-sources toggle).

steps:
- task: UseDotNet@2
  displayName: 'Use .NET 6'
  inputs:
    version: '6.x'

- task: NuGetToolInstaller@1
   
- task: NuGetCommand@2
  displayName: 'Restore Packages'
  inputs:
    restoreSolution: '$(solution)'
    feedsToUse: config
    nugetConfigPath: NuGet.config
    includeNugetOrg: true

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'Prepare Phrase SAAS'
  inputs:
    command: 'custom'
    custom: 'tool'
    arguments: 'install --global dotnet-script --ignore-failed-sources'

Still get an issue later, when it gets to the actual build, but this change managed to fix my original problem.
