Hi, this looks like a cool project!

it works fine from a cli-first approach, which is great!

Any pointers? Can/Should I provide any further infos?

I’ve never used Rider so this might take a bit of trial and error on my side.

The way dnvm works is that installs sdks into different directories, if requested, and then points the dotnet symlink at the right one.

The default is to put everything in the dn subdirectory. Can you try pointing Rider at ~/.local/share/dnvm/dn and see if that makes it happy?

@agocke thanks for the pointer!

I found the solution. The correct path to use in rider is: ~/.local/share/dnvm/dn/dotnet, not ~/.local/share/dnvm/dotnet. The later is a simlink to the prior, which doesn't seem to work.

Makes sense, thanks!
