Issue Description

dotnet test .csproj --no-build --verbosity=normal

Running tests in a TeamCity linux agent an exception is thrown because the Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions assembly can't be found. When I run the cli dotnet test on my windows machine the assembly is found.

I noticed in the reports log on my windows machine the runtime directory(C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App) is explored

Both environments have the same Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 5.0.11 runtime installed

Steps to Reproduce

I can't reproduce outside a TeamCity agent. The same project works on my windows development machine. A teammate using a mac also has this exception when running the tests

I have the same issue with bitbucket pipelines, any solution to this yet?

I have the same issue with bitbucket pipelines, any solution to this yet?

I ended up using an Assembly Resolver as a workaround.

private const string LINUX_EXTENSIONS_PATH = "/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/";
private const string MACOS_EXTENSIONS_PATH = "/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/";
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve;
private static Assembly CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve(object sender, ResolveEventArgs args)
{

    string extensionsPath = RuntimeInformation.OSDescription.Contains("Linux") ? LINUX_EXTENSIONS_PATH : MACOS_EXTENSIONS_PATH;

    string filePath = extensionsPath + _runtimeVersionDirectory + "/" + args.Name.Substring(0, args.Name.IndexOf(',')) + ".dll";

    if (File.Exists(filePath))
    {
        var assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(filePath);
        _outputHelper.WriteLine("found: " + assembly?.GetName()?.Name);
        return assembly;
    }
    return null;
}

As we stopped maintaining the SpecFlow+ Runner (https://specflow.org/using-specflow/the-retirement-of-specflow-runner/) I am closing this issue.
