PowerShell's dotnet global tool doesn't accept -WorkingDirectory option

Created on 5 Aug 2019 · 3Comments · Source: PowerShell/PowerShell

Steps to reproduce

1) Install powershell core via the dotnet global tool utility:

dotnet tool install --global PowerShell

2) run the new powershell command with the "Working Directory" option/flag:

pwsh -WorkingDirectory ~

Expected behavior

It is expected that this option works and the shell starts in the provided directory.

Actual behavior

The following error is thrown

-WorkingDirectory : The term '-WorkingDirectory' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.                                                                           
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.At line:1 char:1
