Doesn't run with netcoreapp1.1

[denisz1]

My test project's project.json:

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "dependencies": {
    "MyProject": { "version": "1.0.0-*", "target": "project" },
    "NUnit": "3.5.0",
    "dotnet-test-nunit": "3.4.0-beta-2"
  },
  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.1": {
      "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.NETCore.App": { "version": "1.1.0", "type": "platform" }
      },
      "imports": [ "portable-net45+win8" ]
    }
  },
  "testRunner": "nunit"
}

Output in VS2015 when I try to use TestDriven.Net to run some test:

------ Test started: Assembly: MyProject.Tests.dll ------

It works if I add that assembly, but never needed to do that before. And it compiles fine, so I'm not missing anything. I don't understand the problem here.

@denisz1 Sorry about the delay. It has been a crazy week. 😄

Thanks for the report. It isn't immediately obvious why this isn't working. I'll investigate and get back to you.

Out of interest, are there any bad side effects when you add Microsoft.DotNet.InternalAbstractions? I'm wondering if this could be done automatically (without actually modifying the project).

[denisz1]

@jcansdale Nope it seems to work fine, and there are no side-effects that I can see (yet). The automatic option would be great.

[jcansdale]

That's good to know. I'll ping you again when it's working.

Hello,

Is there any update on this issue ? I am using VS 2017 RTM with .NET Core 1.1 and xUnit 2.2.0 and I get the same error

Could not load file or assembly 'xunit.abstractions, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8d05b1bb7a6fdb6c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I cannot add this specific version because it is not compatible with .NET Core 1.1 and adding the latest version does not solve the issue.

@jcansdale Any news when testdriven.net will support .Net core on VS2017?

[jcansdale]

@slorion, @duncanawoods, @denisz1 I've finally .NET Core support working with Visual Studio 2017 (just running ad-hoc methods for the moment). You can find an experimental build here https://github.com/jcansdale/TestDriven.Net-Issues/issues/106#issuecomment-452926516.

I'll be tracking .NET Core support in #106, so closing this issue.
