dotnet tool restore --interactive hangs forever

[dave-yotta]

Description

Running dotnet tool restore --interactive does not prompt for user input with the azure artifacts credential provider while dotnet restore --interactive does. Is there an issue with interactive mode on dotnet tool restore?

PS C:\Users\...\repro> dotnet restore --interactive
  Determining projects to restore...
      [CredentialProvider]DeviceFlow: https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/...
      [CredentialProvider]ATTENTION: User interaction required.

Regression?

Looking at the code, it looks like the --interactive flag is ignored for dotnet tool restore.

Also, it doesn't currently use NuGetPackageDownloader. It might be good to change that at the same time.

Is it ok that I post an issue I face with dotnet-ef here as well?

For some reason for my locally manifested tool (in this case dotnet-ef) right after I restore it, it tells me to restore it again when I try to use it:

@JL03-Yue Do you know if --interactive works with your changes in #33835?

@dave-yotta

I haven't dug into the code for this issue, but I just did a basic test.

PS C:\Workspace\ToolTest> dotnet new tool-manifest
The template "Dotnet local tool manifest file" was created successfully.

PS C:\Workspace\ToolTest> dotnet tool restore --interactive


Restore was successful.
PS C:\Workspace\ToolTest> dotnet tool restore


Restore was successful.

Trying both restore with --interactive and without it were successful. Now, this is just a blank manifest so I have no idea if the scenario is valid. If I could have a manifest that shows the issue, that would help significantly. Lastly, I have no idea why there are so many blank lines after every command execution. If there is still a bug here, I'd clean up that output too along with the fix.

If the issue comes up again, let us know so I reopen the issue. For now, I'm closing it. Thanks.

For those who hit this in the future...
dotnet tool restore --interactive --verbosity d
Adding the --verbosity d will cause the message to be displayed (for me that's the link) so you can click on it.
