My project build succeeds, but I am seeing lots of permission denial errors on a macOS image:

118  Determining projects to restore...
119  Retrying 'FindPackagesByIdAsync' for source 'https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/microsoft.codeanalysis.csharp/index.json'.
120  Access to the path '/Users/appveyor/.local/share/NuGet' is denied.
121    Permission denied

131  Failed to download package 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.3.8.0' from 'https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/microsoft.codeanalysis.csharp/3.8.0/microsoft.codeanalysis.csharp.3.8.0.nupkg'.

The list goes on. All of them point the same error about access to /Users/appveyor/.local/share/NuGet being denied. While the build succeed, it seems like a problem waiting to get worse eventually and failing future builds (besides adding lots of false negative noise at the moment).

The full log of the build can be found at:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/raboof/morelinq/builds/37011643/job...

After much searching, I haven't found anyone complaining about a similar issue, but that just probably just my search skills failing me. Is this something specific to .NET 5 SDK or perhaps how the image is setup with a preview? Do you know why the permission errors may be occurring?

Thanks!

   Thanks for letting know! Definitely, it looks like an issue.

   We are currently working on macOS image update and the build looks OK on it: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/morelinq

   Will be rolling out the update today.

   Image has been updated. Your build should be good now.
