`dotnet new --install` of SpaTemplates fails with `no matches found` error on Zsh (macOS)

[Meligy]

Steps to reproduce

1. Install dotnet SDK on Mac (version details in dotnet --info at the end)
2. Start a new Zsh terminal
3. Run the following command in Zsh:

dotnet new --install Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates::*

Expected behavior

The CLI downloads the templates, and reports installing them, then lists them in the available templates for dotnet new

Actual behavior

The following message is shown almost instantly:

zsh: no matches found: Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates::*

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

> dotnet --info   
.NET Command Line Tools (1.0.1)

Product Information:
 Version:            1.0.1
 Commit SHA-1 hash:  005db40cd1

Runtime Environment:
 OS Name:     Mac OS X
 OS Version:  10.12
 OS Platform: Darwin
 RID:         osx.10.12-x64
 Base Path:   /usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/1.0.1

Additional Information

This works fine if you start bash inside Zsh and run the command inside bash.

Do you have OpenSSL installed?

[Meligy]

Yes, and ensured it is properly linked.

I'd expect more severe-looking errors if it's an OpenSSL failure too.

[Meligy]

However, any specific test you'd like me to do to rule out wrong version linked etc?

Thanks heaps.

@Meligy - noticed that you are using zsh, have you tries using/testing in just terminal to isolate if this is just a zsh bug?

[Meligy]

Yes, just zsh. I ran bash inside Zsh and repeated the command and it worked just fine. I was able to find the templates listed after restarting the Zsh terminal and confirming with dotnet new --help.

I updated the issue title and description to reflect that.

@Meligy does dotnet new --install "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates::*" work? (added quotes)

[Meligy]

It seems to work yes.

I get this error, but I also get it in bash, so, I expect it's because I have already installed the templates (not sure what's the flag to remove them).

At least both are giving the same output, and it seems to be doing something.

error : Too many open files => NuGet/Home#2163
Looks like this didn't happen often because the CLI ships package cache archives but the templates performs a fresh restore.
(Workaround is ulimit -n 512)

[livarcocc]

Given that we have a workaround and that the actual restore issue is already tracked by NuGet, I am closing this one.

I have same issue but different exception, can anyone help me to solve it?

[sayedihashimi]

@blackie1019 try

dotnet new --install "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates::*"

From @mlorbetske:
that issue was fixed as of the 1.0.4 CLI. Either updating to a later CLI build or raising the value of ulimit should fix it.
