Project has no runnable target frameworks defined

I've just upgraded a console app in Rider from Core 3.1 to 6.0 and when I try and run it, Rider says, "Project has no runnable target frameworks defined". What could this mean? Here is my csproj:

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

    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>

    </PropertyGroup>

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|AnyCPU'">

    </PropertyGroup>

    <ItemGroup>

            <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
            <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers</IncludeAssets>
        </PackageReference>
    </ItemGroup>

    </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Show your csproj

Cisien•3y ago

do you have .net 6 installed?

Brady KellyOP•3y ago

Yes, I have .net 6 installed. I've upgraded all other projects in the solution and they build fine, and the entry point project runs fine Although it's a console application, the output assembly is a dll, and I can't find a setting that might cause that

show your csproj

Brady KellyOP•3y ago

There is my csproj. I've upgraded all the Nuget packages to their latest available versions

<OutputType>Exe</OutputType> should go in the first PropertyGroup section

Brady KellyOP•3y ago

I've put it there with no difference. Here is my current run config:

tests should be run with <test framework of choice> however you set that up in rider, i'm not sure

Brady KellyOP•3y ago

I was just thinking, maybe the tests in the dll are rather intended for the Azure build pipeline and not for me, but surely the developer should also be able to run them locally I just tried Rider's "Run all tests in solution" and it finds no tests Now that I look inside the project (duh, only now) I can't find any classes decorated by a fixture attribute, only this:

    public class PeerControllerTests : IClassFixture<WebApplicationFactory<LexisNexis.Settings.PeerApplication.Startup>>
    {
        protected PeerControllerTests(WebApplicationFactory<LexisNexis.Settings.PeerApplication.Startup> factory)
        {
            Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("ASSET_GROUP", "playback");
            Factory = factory;
        }

        protected WebApplicationFactory<LexisNexis.Settings.PeerApplication.Startup> Factory { get; }
    }

    public class PeerControllerTests : IClassFixture<WebApplicationFactory<LexisNexis.Settings.PeerApplication.Startup>>
    {
        protected PeerControllerTests(WebApplicationFactory<LexisNexis.Settings.PeerApplication.Startup> factory)
        {
            Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("ASSET_GROUP", "playback");
            Factory = factory;
        }

        protected WebApplicationFactory<LexisNexis.Settings.PeerApplication.Startup> Factory { get; }
    }

I've just wasted an hour or two trying to get a test project that contains no tests to run

Cisien•3y ago

you can run them with dotnet test, no? nice

Brady KellyOP•3y ago

I did learn something though - the Rider test runner looks in the dll for tests and not the exe

Cisien•3y ago

test projects are usually DLLs they aren't intended to execute on their own
