Dotnet tool install 401 Unauthorized

New Contributor

I'm trying to install the "dotnet-reportgenerator-globaltool" tool via .Net Core custom task.

 

Custom Command: tool

Arguments: install --global dotnet-reportgenerator-globaltool --version 4.0,15

 

Problem: When executing from a directory that contains a nuget.config pointing to a private azure artifacts, I get an error like the following. I don't want to use my feed or need to, but because the nuget.config exists I have no choice. Is there a way I can pass credentials to this command? There is no directory that doesn't inherit the nuget.config :sad:

 

[command]"C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" tool install --global dotnet-reportgenerator-globaltool --version 4.0.15
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.2.104\NuGet.targets(114,5): error : Unable to load the service index for source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/bstglobal/_packaging/BSTWEB/nuget/v3/index.json. [C:\Users\VssAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp\rkrgqk3i.dkp\restore.csproj]
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.2.104\NuGet.targets(114,5): error : Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Unauthorized). [C:\Users\VssAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp\rkrgqk3i.dkp\restore.csproj]
The tool package could not be restored.
