Azure Pipeline is using old version of ReportGenerator

Question

my Azure Pipeline keeps using an old version of ReportGenerator even after installing the latest version in the YAML script.

1. I have an application on Net6 that uses the nuget package coverlet.collector version 3.1.2.

2. I have a yaml pipeline that has the following blocks:

   • -script: dotnet tool install --ignore-failed-sources -g dotnet-reportgenerator-globaltool --version 5.1.17
   • -task: DotNetCoreCLI@2 inputs: command: 'test' projects: '**/*Tests.csproj' arguments: '--configuration $(buildConfiguration) --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"'
   • -task: PublishCodeCoverageResults@1 inputs: codeCoverageTool: 'Cobertura' summaryFileLocation: '$(Agent.TempDirectory)/*/coverage.cobertura.xml'

3. When I run the pipeline, it uses ReportGenerator 4.6.1.0 instead of the installed 5.1.17

How do I fix this?

Expected:

• Uses ReportGenerator 5.1.17.0 (Screenshot is from my local machine after running Code Coverage)

Actual:

• Uses ReportGenerator 4.5.1.0 (Screenshot is from Azure Devops after running the yaml script)
