Tutorial instructions wrong for setting up binary cache using NuGet on Linux aarch64
Describe the bug The tutorials at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/consume/binary-caching-nuget?pivots=shell-bash and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/consume/binary-caching-github-packages?pivots=linux-runner tell you to do, (paraphrasing here)
mono `vcpkg fetch nuget` <args>
When running on Ubuntu/arm64 (a.k.a. aarch64) following these instructions you will get the error
Cannot open assembly '/usr/bin/nuget': File does not contain a valid CIL image.
Environment
- OS: Ubuntu
- Compiler: n/r
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- On Ubuntu / arm64 follow the instructions given in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/consume/binary-caching-github-packages?pivots=linux-runner for adding packages as a NuGet source.
- See error
Expected behavior I expected it to set up the NuGet source.
Failure logs "Cannot open assembly '/usr/bin/nuget': File does not contain a valid CIL image."
Additional context The problem is because the nuget.exe downloaded in the arm64 case is a shell script
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/nuget/nuget.exe "$@"
Adding sources will work if you drop the mono and just do
`vcpkg fetch nuget` <args>
At a minimum the tutorial needs to be fixed to show the different commands needed.
However I think a preferable fix is to change the x64_64 implementation to return a similar shell script then all cases can be handled without explicitly calling mono.
