`dotnet run` cannot run the project due to `System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: startIndex cannot be larger than length of string. (Parameter 'startIndex')` exception

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

dotnet run is unable to run the program due to error but dotnet build works fine.

To Reproduce

  1. Use dotnet 6.0
  2. Create a new dotnet project by do dotnet new console
  3. Write some random program (Here’s mine)
// See https://aka.ms/new-console-template for more information
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
  1. Run it by do dotnet run

Exceptions (if any)

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: startIndex cannot be larger than length of string. (Parameter 'startIndex')
   at System.String.Substring(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length)
   at System.String.Substring(Int32 startIndex)
   at Microsoft.DotNet.Tools.Run.RunCommand.TryGetTargetArchitecture(String runtimeIdentifier, Nullable`1& targetArchitecture)
   at Microsoft.DotNet.Tools.Run.RunCommand.GetTargetCommand()
   at Microsoft.DotNet.Tools.Run.RunCommand.Execute()
   at Microsoft.DotNet.Tools.Run.RunCommand.Run(String[] args)
   at Microsoft.DotNet.Cli.Program.ProcessArgs(String[] args, TimeSpan startupTime, ITelemetry telemetryClient)
   at Microsoft.DotNet.Cli.Program.Main(String[] args)

Thanks @KalleOlaviNiemitalo, for Windows PowerShell I found the environment variable DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT being true solves the issue as current workaround.

> $env:DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT='True'
> dotnet run

Folks - if you’re having this issue can you please comment (or edit your existing comments) with

  • your system’s Locale/UI Culture
  • the SDK version you’re using?

I think this was fixed in 7.0.200 by https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/27566, so if you’re using 7.0 SDKs make sure you’re at least on that version.
