Webcompiler does nothing when istalled as a local dotnet tool

[sergeyzwezdin]

WebCompiler doesn't work once it is installed as a local dotnet tool.

Steps to reproduce:

1. dotnet new tool-manifest
2. dotnet tool install Excubo.WebCompiler --version 3.1.3-preview.1
3. Create test SCSS file
4. dotnet tool run webcompiler test.scss
5. The commands runs successfully, there are no any error, but CSS file(s) doesn't appear.

Here is the repo with reproduction of the.

Environment

• Apple Silicone (M1 Max)
• macOS 12.1
• dotnet 6.0.101

I understand that it is possible to use it as a global tool, but I'd consider it as a bad practice when you use it in a team project. So, is there any chance to make it work as a local tool?

Also, is there any chance that it will be implemented to use as a nuget package to integrate it into the project build step without the requirement to install dotnet tool? It seems a much more convenient way since it doesn't require to have additional required dotnet tool restore command run for every team member.

It fails on CompileFile() method run:

Something wrong with DartSassHost and it is specific to using it as dotnet local tool.
