I run sudo dotnet workload install wasm-tools, it says that installation was successful. When I then run dotnet workload list it shows no workloads.

Output of installation:

$ sudo dotnet workload install wasm-tools

@mirespace this is messing up HOME in your environment:

https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/4e8e433c00d3cb07ba67a300c40af66a82ec36bb/src/Cli/dotnet/SudoEnvironmentDirectoryOverride.cs#L23-L43

If you unset SUDO_UID it will work.

Thanks, it worked! And now it lists the installed workloads:

Great!

For some extra context: when the installable workload feature got added to the sdk, we wanted to avoid the sudo install in source-built .NET because it adds files to the system dotnet location.

A source-build sdk includes a userlocal file which causes the workload to be installed in a user folder instead.

See https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/18104 and https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/18823.

❯ find $(dirname $(readlink -f $(command -v dotnet))) -name userlocal /usr/lib/dotnet/metadata/workloads/6.0.100/userlocal

Good. This makes install work without sudo.

I couldn’t execute the workload command without sudo due to Access to the path ‘/home/ubuntu/.dotnet/6.0.116.toolpath.sentinel’ is denied:

I imagine this happens because you ran the command with sudo previously.

Try this:

sudo rm -rf ~/.dotnet
dotnet workload install wasm-tools
