Fulfilled 6.0.0 requirement preventing pac installation in Power Platform Tools for Visual Studio Code on Mac

[zwhitchcox]

Power Platform Tools for Visual Studio Code is complaining that I don't have dotnet v 6.0.0 or greater installed, when it is installed:

I've tried installing the x64 and amd64 versions (on an M2) and uninstalling later versions (7.0.4 and 7.110.0), and I get the same error.

Not sure where to go from here.

Ok, I figured it out.

I just needed to close VS Code completely and reopen it. Apparently it holds the dotnet version somewhere in memory, and when you close all windows, it does not reset the version. You have to actually quit VS Code and reopen it after you install the dotnet tools.

Not sure if you want to leave this open in case you want to check for the installed version instead of keeping it in memory. I guess it could be an environment variable too, not sure. Feel free to close this though.
