Path based extensibility model not working with dotnet-cli on Mac

Question

I tried creating a custom command that could be executed using dotnet driver. Followed the steps mentioned in the documentation.

Created a command with the name dotnet-demo
Added basic echo "Welcome to Custom Command" script inside the command
Enabled execution on this file using chmod +x dotnet-demo
Added this script to the path by enabling symlink using ln -s dotnet-demo /usr/local/bin
Running the command using dotnet demo is not giving any errors. Neither it produces any output.

Not able figure out, what I am missing here ?

i followed the steps mentioned at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/tools/extensibility — Swaminathan Vetri, Aug 19 '16 at 05:26

The issue was with the symbolic link creation step. Upon using the full path of the command, things started working fine. i.e, ln -s <full-path>/dotnet-demo /usr/local/bin/dotnet-demo did the magic. Now running the command dotnet demo produces the expected output
