Global tools are not found on zsh

See original GitHub issue

The below example is for FAKE but I can repro with other global tools as well, such as weeknumber. I tried to remove any profile customizations from my profile by running zsh without them and the problem persists. I’ve provided my PATH as well to show that the global tools dir is in fact in there.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have the 2.1 preview SDK installed (2.1.300-rc1-008673)
  2. run zsh with no profile via zsh --no-rcs
  3. dotnet tool install -g fake-cli --version '5.0.0-*'
  4. fake

Expected behavior

The FAKE cli help should display

Actual behavior

The shell reports that fake could not be found.

Known workarounds

  • run the command in bash, or
  • run the fake command explicitly, via ~/.dotnet/tools/fake

I´ve ran into the same problem today. Got resolved editing ~/.zshrc, and putting a new line with:

export PATH=$HOME/.dotnet/tools:$PATH
