Answer 1

Hi SWheaties,

I could not repro your issue in my side, because I could debug a new unit test without any problems.

So please update the VS2017 RC to the latest version.

Tools->Extensions and Updates -> Updates-> Update the VS2017 RC.

Then try again.

In addition, please create a new project, and debug it to see whether has the same issue.

Sincerely,

Oscar

Answer 2

Thank you Oscar, there are no other updates for VS at this time.

I managed to isolate the lines below in the .csproj file.  These lines were added by VS or the conversion tool.

 <!--<GenerateRuntimeConfigurationFiles>true</GenerateRuntimeConfigurationFiles>
    <NetStandardImplicitPackageVersion>1.6.1</NetStandardImplicitPackageVersion>
    <PackageTargetFallback Condition=" '$(TargetFramework)' == 'netcoreapp1.1' ">$(PackageTargetFallback);netcoreapp1.1;portable-net45+win8</PackageTargetFallback>
    <RuntimeFrameworkVersion Condition=" '$(TargetFramework)' == 'netcoreapp1.1' ">1.1.0</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>-->

Answer 3

Hi SWheaties,

According to your description, when you comment these code, the error appeared, am I right?

Have you created an new project to test?

Answer 4

>>when you comment these code, the error appeared, am I right?

No - when I comment the code the error went away.

>>Have you created an new project to test?

Yes but I cannot reproduce the error. 

Answer 5

Change your project type from Library to Console Application

It works fine for me...

My final csproj is here: https://gist.github.com/ircnelson/9cbddb681d520d7f581dbfc99709a9e1

Answer 6

Try clean the solution first. Tool -> Clean Solution 

Answer 7

If that doesn't work, you need to manually delete all of the "bin" and "obj" folders.

Answer 8

Hello,

Faced this issue while playing with Azure Functions V2 and was able to resolve it by updating the packages in VS. Navigate to the path below and then update the packages. It worked like a charm for me.

Tools->Extensions and Updates -> Updates-> Update the VS2017.

Thanks
