What are you seeing?

Cake is calling .NET 8 version of a referenced tool (ReportGenerator v5.2.0) when it should be using the pinned version of .NET in our global.json file.

What is expected?

Cake should run the GenereateReport task successfully, and report should be generated (depending on the coverage files provided in the coverage folder).

Steps to Reproduce

Prereqs:

• Install .NET 6
• Uninstall .NET 8

Setup:

.config/dotnet-tools.json

{
    "version": 1,
    "isRoot": true,
    "tools": {
        "cake.tool": {
            "version": "4.0.0",
            "commands": [
                "dotnet-cake"
            ]
        }
    }
}

build.cake

#tool nuget:?package=ReportGenerator&version=5.2.0

const string COVERAGE_FOLDER = "coverage";
const string REPORT_FOLDER = "report";
const string DEFAULT_TARGET = "Default";
const string GENERATE_REPORT_TARGET = "GenerateReport";
static readonly string _allCoverageFilesGlob = $"{COVERAGE_FOLDER}/**/*.xml";

string _target = Argument("target", DEFAULT_TARGET);

Task(GENERATE_REPORT_TARGET)
.Does(() =>
{
	var coverageFiles = GetFiles(_allCoverageFilesGlob);

	foreach(FilePath coverageFile in coverageFiles)
	{
		ReportGenerator(coverageFile, $"{COVERAGE_FOLDER}/{REPORT_FOLDER}/test");
	}
});

Task(DEFAULT_TARGET)
	.IsDependentOn(GENERATE_REPORT_TARGET);

RunTarget(_target);

build.ps1

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'

Set-Location -LiteralPath $PSScriptRoot

$env:DOTNET_SKIP_FIRST_TIME_EXPERIENCE = '1'
$env:DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT = '1'
$env:DOTNET_NOLOGO = '1'

dotnet tool restore
if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { exit $LASTEXITCODE }

dotnet cake @args
if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { exit $LASTEXITCODE }

global.json

{
	"sdk": {
		"version": "6.0.0",
		"rollForward": "latestMinor"
	}
}

Execute: .\build.ps1 --target=GenerateReport --verbosity=diagnostic

Output log

> .\build.ps1 --target=GenerateReport --verbosity=Diagnostic
Tool 'cake.tool' (version '4.0.0') was restored. Available commands: dotnet-cake

Any thoughts on this?

[IlIlIllIllI]

I've also reproduced this issue on another coworker's computer, same environment (Windows, x64)

[IlIlIllIllI]

Actually, this also fails with Cake 3.0.0.

Maybe something is happening elsewhere and this isn't a Cake issue?
