I have a test project configured with .NET Standard 1.5

IDE: Visual Studio 2017 Community

I have included xunit and xunit.runner.console but I cannot run the tests. I tried dotnet test on the test project but I get the following error

Could not find testhost.dll for source 'D:\Dev\Visual Studio 2017\CSharpSeven.NewFeatures\CSharpSeven.NewFeatures\CSharpSeven.Tests\bin\Debug\netstandard1.5\CSharpSeven.Tests.dll'. Make sure test project has a nuget reference of package "microsoft.testplatform.testhost".

My .csproj is the following:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> <PropertyGroup> <TargetFramework>netstandard1.5</TargetFramework> </PropertyGroup> <ItemGroup> <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestHost" Version="15.0.0" /> <PackageReference Include="System.ValueTuple" Version="4.3.0" /> <PackageReference Include="xunit" Version="2.2.0" /> <PackageReference Include="xunit.runner.console" Version="2.2.0" /> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <ProjectReference Include="..\CSharpSeven\CSharpSeven.csproj" /> </ItemGroup> </Project>

I've been struggling for quite sometime to get the tests running, can anyone please help?

Test projects needs to be runable applications. You need to target a specific runtime. For example:

 <PropertyGroup> <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework> </PropertyGroup>

Have you tried to do a restore and build first ?

dotnet restore dotnet build

This should add any missing packages then you may run the tests.
