dotnet tool restore doesn't make command available

[CoenraadS]

Describe the bug

Libman is not available after dotnet tool restore

To Reproduce

.config/dotnet-tools.json

{
  "version": 1,
  "isRoot": true,
  "tools": {
    "microsoft.web.librarymanager.cli": {
      "version": "2.1.175",
      "commands": [
        "libman"
      ]
    }
  }
}

1. Run dotnet tool restore
2. Run dotnet libman => Output: Run "dotnet tool restore" to make the "libman" command available.

Further technical details

• I attached log file, seems like it used sdk 7.0.102

Unfortunately, there's no tracing available in tool execution. Do you know where libman was installed to locally and does dotnet have access to that path? You can try running dotnet <path to tool> or try dotnet tool run libman as well.

Also, the dotnet -d tool run libman command will echo out what libman DLL is launched and what the process ID is:

15:19:57 ❯ dotnet -d tool run libman
Telemetry is: Enabled
Running C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe C:\Users\chusk\.nuget\packages\microsoft.web.librarymanager.cli\2.1.175\tools/netcoreapp2.1/any/libman.dll
Process ID: 25820
 2.1.175+29a28921bd.RR
