dotnet tool - authenticate using token non-interactively

Question

I'm setting up a system that is installing a tool via:

dotnet tool install MyTool --tool-path . --add-source <my-source-url>

The source I'm trying to get from is an Azure artifacts feed, and so will need authentication to access. Reading the dotnet tool's docs, I can't seem to find a way to authenticate to a source e.g. via a personal access token.

Since this will be an automated system, I cannot use the --interactive flag. Are there workarounds for this or is there no way to authenticate for the dotnet tool install command?

Hi I just had a similar issue.

You need to prepare a nuget.config file with credentials in your pipeline and then use the nuget.config file.

Step 1: Checkin default NuGet.Config file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

Step 2: In my case in azure pipelines manipulate ./NuGet.Config and install the tool

  - script: dotnet nuget add source --configfile ./NuGet.Config "https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/.../nuget/v3/index.json" --name "SomeName" -u "-" -p "$(System.AccessToken)" --store-password-in-clear-text
    displayName: "Add NuGet source"

  - script: dotnet tool install -g --configfile ./NuGet.Config My.KafkaCleaner.Tool
    displayName: "Install My.KafkaCleaner.Tool"
