Azure DevOps Pipelines: Environment Variables Not Available in dotnet test Command

I'm using Azure DevOps and have an AzureCLI task set up to run integration tests with the dotnet test command. I'm encountering an issue where environment variables set in the task do not seem to be available when dotnet test is executed. Here is the relevant part of my pipeline configuration:

- task: AzureCLI@2
  displayName: 'Run Integration Tests Inside AZ CLI'
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: ${{ parameters.azureServiceConnection }}
    scriptType: pscore
    scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
    addSpnToEnvironment: true
    inlineScript: |
      # Commands to set environment variables
      Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=TENANT_ID;issecret=true]$(tenantId)"
      ...

      $env:TENANT_ID = "$(tenantId)"
      ...

      # Running dotnet test
      dotnet test --configuration $(buildConfiguration) ...

- task: AzureCLI@2
  displayName: 'Run Integration Tests Inside AZ CLI'
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: ${{ parameters.azureServiceConnection }}
    scriptType: pscore
    scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
    addSpnToEnvironment: true
    inlineScript: |
      # Commands to set environment variables
      Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=TENANT_ID;issecret=true]$(tenantId)"
      ...

      $env:TENANT_ID = "$(tenantId)"
      ...

      # Running dotnet test
      dotnet test --configuration $(buildConfiguration) ...

The variables like TENANT_ID are set using ##vso[task.setvariable] and also attempted to be set in the script's session scope using $env: for use in the same script. However, these variables do not seem to be accessible or correctly passed to the dotnet test command. What could be causing this issue, and how can I ensure that these environment variables are correctly passed to and accessible by the dotnet test command within the same Azure CLI task?

Please note, I require the dotnet test to be inside of the AzureCLI@2 task, to make use of the new AzurePipelinesCredential from the Azure Identity SDK

are you sure you're passing in tenantId correctly? maybe try printing it out in the script.
