Unable to install NUnit.ConsoleRunner.NetCore 3.18.0 due to not found settings file 'DotnetToolSettings.xml'

[MichalMucek]

When trying to install NUnit.ConsoleRunner.NetCore (.NET Tool) 3.18.0, there's an error:

Tool 'nunit.consolerunner.netcore' failed to update due to the following: The settings file in the tool's NuGet package is invalid: Settings file 'DotnetToolSettings.xml' was not found in the package. Tool 'nunit.consolerunner.netcore' failed to install. Contact the tool author for assistance.

Also, instructions for installing the .NET tool (the .NET CLI tabs) are missing from the nuget.org page for version 3.18.0, while they are present for 3.17.0 and earlier.

@MichalMucek Could you provide the exact command you are entering to install the tool?

I'm able to see that the file is included in the package

[MichalMucek]

@CharliePoole
dotnet tool install --global NUnit.ConsoleRunner.NetCore --version 3.18.0
dotnet tool install --local NUnit.ConsoleRunner.NetCore --version 3.18.0

Confirming this bug. It looks as if the structure of the package may be incorrect, i.e. the file is there but not in the right place.

[CharliePoole]

In addition to fixing this, we should add a test. We do test the runner but we do not execute it via the dotnet command, so that needs to be added.

Workaround: Use NuGet to install it to a known location and then run the executable directly.
