Unable to perform clean (when not yet installed) install as dotnet tool.

[OkkeHendriks]

Instead of installing fsharplint I get an error when installing the dotnet tool.
I do not yet have any fsharplint version installed.

When running dotnet.exe tool install -g dotnet-fsharplint, I get:

Tool 'dotnet-fsharplint' failed to update due to the following:
The settings file in the tool's NuGet package is invalid: Settings file 'DotnetToolSettings.xml' was not found in the package.
Tool 'dotnet-fsharplint' failed to install. Contact the tool author for assistance.

When running without -g (dotnet.exe tool install dotnet-fsharplint), I get:

Unhandled exception: Microsoft.DotNet.ToolPackage.ToolConfigurationException: Settings file 'DotnetToolSettings.xml' was not found in the package.

A colleague is able to install (globally only), but it might be because he already had a previous version installed?
He gets:
Tool 'dotnet-fsharplint' was successfully updated from version '0.24.2' to version '0.25.0'.

When performing a local (clean) install het get the same error as above.

After a (global) uninstall he also gets:

Tool 'dotnet-fsharplint' failed to update due to the following:
The settings file in the tool's NuGet package is invalid: Settings file 'DotnetToolSettings.xml' was not found in the package.
Tool 'dotnet-fsharplint' failed to install. Contact the tool author for assistance.

For completeness:
My dotnet version 8.0.314
Colleagues dotnet version: 9.0.203.

My dotnet version 8.0.314

0.25.0 is built as .NET 9, so perhaps this is expected? (not the most useful of errors if that's the case though)

[knocte]

So fsharplint is now 9.0 compatible at the expense of backwards compatibility? Ew, we should fix that first thing for next release.

[OkkeHendriks]

Not sure if it is related to the .net version? This is what I thought at first as well, but note that for my colleague it never want's to install locally, nor after uninstalling it first globally.

@OkkeHendriks fixed, see

FSharpLint/.github/workflows/build+test+deploy.yml

Line 158 in a3f6216

run: dotnet tool install --global dotnet-fsharplint --prerelease --framework net8.0

if you have any issues
Now, in the pre-release package. I'll release a new package soon

[OkkeHendriks]

Just to let you know, it is working now.

Thanks!
