dotnet fsi file package source reference not working with relative path #i

[jkone27]

#i """ /some/relative/path/containing/nuget/packages"""
#r "nuget: Some.Package"

Expected

i can load the package from a relative folder in my directory, e.g. in a project to test from a script if the package behaves consistently

Actual

without specifying the full filesytem absolute path i cannot load the package in the script

• Operating system: MacOS (might have the same issue on windows)
• NET6
• vscode + ionide or vs for mac

@jkone27 hmmm!!!! I thought it was supposed to work. I will take care of fixing it some time.

You need #i "nuget: ...", see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/tools/fsharp-interactive/#specifying-a-package-source

I'll reopen as I think the thing is specifically about relative paths. But we need a correct repro for this please
