Paket install does not do a dotnet restore and does not notify Ionide

See original GitHub issue

When you call paket install, I would expect dotnet restore to be implicitly called, but it is not - you have to explicitly call dotnet restore in order to get installed projects to show up. Using paket global tool version 5.207.0.

Steps to reproduce

Create an empty F# console application.
Convert it to paket
Add Saturn to the dependencies file.
Add a paket references file and add Saturn as well.
Run paket install.
Try to open the Saturn namespace. Observe that the compiler does not recognise it in e.g. Ionide.
Run dotnet restore.
Observe that the namespace is now available.

Sample dependencies file

storage: none

nuget Saturn

On a clean project there won’t be a project.assets.json though

dotnet new is calling dotnet restore. So yes you have that file hanging around
