Unable to run global tools in PowerShell running on macOS
See original GitHub issueI tried to execute a global tool from PowerShell running on macOS and the tool was not located. When I run dotnet tool list --global it does show up. When I exit out of PowerShell, and get back into a normal bash prompt, the global tool works fine.
macOS version = 10.14.2
Here are the runtime/sdks that I have installed.

@wil3 yes, that looks like it is the issue. I have worked around it by appending the full path at the end.
It is due to above reason, the platform constrain (mac’s path_helper does not expend
~). The best we could do is to print instruction to let the user append path.
