dotnet-format in WSL2 doesn't recognise a cs file

See original GitHub issue

I’m running the following command in Ubuntu 18 (WSL2) but the program doesn’t seem to recognise the cs file.

I installed the tool using the following command. /usr/bin/dotnet tool install dotnet-format --tool-path ~/dotnet

I’ve tried other variations of the command with quotes but no luck.

~/dotnet/dotnet-format --files "ShortlistService.cs"
~/dotnet/dotnet-format --files 'ShortlistService.cs'

@JoeRobich should we change it so the --files flag implies the folder flag if not present?

Closing this issue as we’ve updated documentation on how to filter files - https://github.com/dotnet/format/tree/master/docs#filter-files-to-format. Since we’ve reworked the options in our nightly build, it is required to pass the --folder|-f flag to specify working with the files directly. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for how to improve the documentation.
