[SOLVED] Running dotnet test on webapi app with xunit

Running dotnet test on webapi app with xunit

I am trying to setup a dotnet core webapi project with xunit, using latest versions, based on this guide :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/testing/unit-testing-with-dotnet-test (by the way, I have downloaded the github sample project and have the same error)

My project structure is realy basic :

the solution contains

"PrimeService" project (the api)
"PrimeService.Test" project (xunit tests)

I'am getting the following error when running "dotnet test" :

Here is the top of the sln :

# Visual Studio 15
VisualStudioVersion = 15.0.26124.0
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 15.0.26124.0
Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "PrimeService", "PrimeService\PrimeService.csproj", "{AE9EB41F-3946-4577-AC13-EF9B7117BCD5}"

EndProject

Here is the test csproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>

    <IsPackable>false</IsPackable>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="15.7.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="xunit" Version="2.3.1" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReference Include="..\PrimeService\PrimeService.csproj" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Here is the webapi csproj :

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

Any clues ?

Thanks :-)

Solution

It turns out I was running "dotnet test " in the solution folder.

xunit was trying to run tests against the api project

Everything is ok when running "dotnet test" in the test folder
