Can't restore packages of Unit test project

[joaomoreno]

In the following session, I generate a unit test project and run kpm restore. It fails to locate xunit.runner.kre.

➜  Desktop  yo aspnet
...
? What type of application do you want to create? Unit test project
? What's the name of your ASP.NET application? UnitTest

Your project is now created, you can use the following commands to get going
    kpm restore
    kpm build
    k run for console projects
    k kestrel or k webfor web projects

If I replace "xunit.runner.kre": "1.0.0-beta1-*" with "Xunit.KRunner": "1.0.0-beta1" and add a specific NuGet.Config file, then it works.

I figured this out by mimicking what is done in omnisharp-roslyn.

xunit is not on nuget.org yet that's why you are running into this. We should probably disable the unit test template in the generators.

@sayedihashimi: Sorry, your information is incorrect.

xunit.runner.kre was never an officially supported runner. If you want current instructions on how to use xUnit.net inside ASP.NET v5, please see our documentation: http://xunit.github.io/docs/getting-started-aspnet.html

Also, there is no need to have special NuGet.config files for this process. Everything that's required is on nuget.org.

[sayedihashimi]

We have updated the unit test template. This should no longer be an issue, closing.

[joaomoreno]

@sayedihashimi The unit test template simply disappeared. What do you mean by "updated the unit test template"?

[sayedihashimi]

We released an update to the generators a few days back, did you update?

@sayedihashimi I think @joaomoreno is correct, we need to take a closer look: https://github.com/OmniSharp/generator-aspnet/blob/master/app/index.js#L44-L47

[sayedihashimi]

Sorry about that. We have a PR for the unit test feature open at #78. I just replied there. I tried the template on OSX and received the following errors on kpm build and k test

  Unable to resolve dependency framework/System.XML

Build succeeded.

We will have a new template soon, see #165. I'll close this now.
