[dotnet format] MacOS exit status is always 0 with --verify-no-changes

[stewartadam]

Describe the bug

With dotnet 8 I've noticed that the --verify-no-changes flag of dotnet format does nothing on MacOS (tested on Apple Silicon, not sure about Intel). The exit status is always zero, no matter if files are to be formatted or not.

The same execution with the same .NET SDK version on a Linux x86_64 machine (i.e. in our CI) works as expected.

To Reproduce

On MacOS (Apple Silicon), run:

brew install dotnet
git clone https://github.com/stewartadam/dotnet-format-repro
cd dotnet-format-repro
dotnet-format -v diag --verify-no-changes && echo $?
dotnet-format -v diag && git status

Exceptions (if any)

Exit status is zero despite files slated to be formatted.
