[livarcocc]

From @JonathanLoscalzo on May 18, 2017 18:3

Steps to reproduce

Install dotnet 2.0.0preview1 on Win10
Start a GitBash
Run the following command in Terminal
dotnet new --install Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates::*

Expected behavior

The CLI downloads the templates, and reports installing them, then lists them in the available templates for "dotnet new"

Actual behavior

After a time, show list of Templates, but not install any:
$ dotnet new --install Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates::*

Can you try with quotes:

dotnet new --install "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates::*"

[JonathanLoscalzo]

• With quotes or without, it's the same behavior.
• Running the terminal "as Administrator"
  Have "-install" got a Verbosity, -v, or similar option?

Maybe, issue will fix in 2.0.0.preview2?

I have a similar issue when installing my custom template running the current master and using new3.

Steps to reproduce

Install dotnet-dev-win-x64.1.0.4.exe on Win10
Clone https://github.com/dotnet/templating.git (master branch)
Start a PowerShell
Run setup.cmd inside the cloned dir
Run dotnet new3 --install path/to/mytemplate

Expected behavior

The CLI reports installing it, then lists it in the available templates for "dotnet new3"

Actual behavior

Doesn't install my template.
Doesn't show any error message.

No problem in Ubuntu 👍

In the 2.0.0 preview, the ::* is no longer required if you want the latest stable version, so dotnet new --install Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates should work for Git Bash (operating on the assumption that the * is causing the problem).

We are looking at expanding the information displayed when templates are discovered as part of install. Ideally, we'll be able to list the templates that were successfully installed as part of the operation & the set of templates that failed to install (and why).

Ran dotnet new -i Amazon.Lambda.Templates::* and it kept saying:

zsh: no matches found: Amazon.Lambda.Templates::*

So I ran dotnet new -i Amazon.Lambda.Templates and it finally installed the templates.

Closing this as either quoting the {packageName}::* or not specifying the ::* part has been confirmed to be working
