How to execute Azure DevOps .NET Core CLI task with arguments

Question

On Azure DevOps, I want to configure the .NET Core CLI task so that it executes restore with runtime win-x86.

I tried this configuration:

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'Restore NuGet'
  inputs:
    command: 'restore'
    projects: './src/MySolution.sln'
    feedsToUse: 'config'
    nugetConfigPath: './NuGet.config'
    arguments: '--runtime win-x86'

...which I thought would add --runtime win-x86 to the executed command. However, the command that gets executed...

/usr/bin/dotnet restore /home/vsts/work/1/s/./src/MySolution.sln --configfile /home/vsts/work/1/Nuget/tempNuGet_158.config --verbosity Detailed

...is missing the runtime option.

On Azure DevOps, is is possible to execute the .NET Core CLI task so that it executes restore with runtime win-x86?

I first tried to determine if there was something wrong with the documentation of the .NET Core CLI task by creating this issue, but it was closed without any dialog, and I was essentially told to post my question on SO instead.

Answer 1

I don't know why, but it look like the version 2 of the task DotNetCoreCLI can't take another arguments in the restore command.

Switch the version to 1 - DotNetCoreCLI@1 and it will work:
