Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Install any pre-release version of dotnet tool
. Then subsequently update tools f.ex. with dotnet tool update --all --local
.
The following error message is given
is not found in NuGet feeds https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json.
The issue here is that that does exist in that feed. One might be led to think there's a temporary glitch, the package has been removed from the feed or something else and may examine in vain.
Instead one should issue the command like dotnet tool update --all --local --prerelease
to install also pre-release packages.
Describe the solution you'd like
To have a clearer error message. For instance something like
Tool was found but only exists in prerelease versions. Run the command with --prerelease to install prerelease versions of tools. Then either update none of the tools or proceed to update the ones that are not pre-release version.
