As pointed here by @mmisztal1980, dotnet restore no longer supports globbing on the root parameter. The XML docs on DotNetCoreRestore are OK, but the example shows a string with a globbing pattern. I also came across this problem and an issue wasn't created yyet.

@patriksvensson suggested that the root parameter on DotNetCoreRestore could become a DirectoryPath. However, on dotnet restore it actually can be a list of project.json, global.json or root directory.

• Is there any type on cake that can represent both files and directory paths?
• Maybe we could have a params argument?
• Or maybe we can assume the common use case, which I think will be a root directory for search, as Patrick suggested.
