[Test Failure] ‘Tool No-Op Restore’ doesn’t work for ASP .NET Core Web Application (.NET Core 2.1)

[v-luzh]

Details about Problem

NuGet version: NuGet Client Dev 4.8.0.5314
VS Version: D15.8stg 27828.3003
OS Version: Windows 10 RS4_Release 17134.1.180410-1804

Detailed repro steps so we can see the same problem

1. Create an ASP .NET Core Web Application (.NET Core 2.1).
2. Set the diagnostics build format through Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run.
3. Build the project.

Expected

The build restore should be no-op for both the tool and the project restore.

Actual

The build restore is no-op for just the project restore (the ‘Tool No-Op Restore’ doesn’t work) as below screenshot.

Note:

1. It doesn’t repro for ASP .NET Core Web Application (.NET Core 2.0) on the same machine.
2. It repro for ‘msbuild /t:restore /v:d’.
3. It repro on D15.8stg 27828.3003 (default NuGet Client 4.8.0.5278).
4. Repro Machine: 172.16.194.30 (Added Nikolche's alias into the administrators group).

From the logs it looks like there is not tool restore happening at all here.

Did they maybe remove the tool from the template completely?

The tool is removed from the template right now.
