How can I overwrite the

dotnet

executable location that SST uses for running C# functions? I have an M1 Macbook and it requires some trickery to install .NET Core 3.1 involving putting it in a non-standard location from newer dotnet runtimes. I need to run some 3.1 Lambda functions within an SST project, but it can’t find the runtime. Is there a way to configure this executable location?

hmm, is this hardcoded somewhere (edit: as in cdk or sst)? I'd imagine the path to the executable comes from PATH or some similar global environment variable

Yeah, I was actually able to resolve this by temporarily editing

process.env.PATH

in the SST stack code. Actually this did not work after all. Still open to suggestions.

@Austin SST just spawns

dotnet

without specifying the path. ie. here and here.

@Frank I meant to update here; I got this working by setting updating PATH in my VS Code launch.json that runs

sst start

can u try exporting

export PATH="/path/to/ur/dotnet:$PATH"

Yeah, the tricky bit is I want the dotnet 6 path to be “default”, but just want to override the path for dotnet 3 for specific projects.

ah got it! Glad it’s working
