This sample is part of the Organizing and testing projects with the .NET Core command line tutorial for creating .NET Core console applications. See the tutorial for details on the code for this sample.
This sample builds a program and an associated unit test assembly. Using this sample, you learn how to structure projects as part of a larger solution and incorporate unit tests into your projects.
To build and run the sample, change to the src/NewTypes directory and execute the following command:
dotnet rundotnet restore (see note) restores the dependencies of the sample. dotnet run builds the sample and runs the output executable. It implicitly runs dotnet restore to restore the dependencies of the sample. If you're using .NET Core 1.0 or .NET Core 1.1 instead of .NET Core 2.0 or a later version, you have to run dotnet restore yourself.
To run the tests, change to the test/NewTypesTests directory and execute the following two commands:
dotnet build
dotnet testdotnet test runs the configured tests.
dotnet build will follow the dependency on the NewTypesMsBuild project and build both the app and unit tests projects. It implicitly runs dotnet restore on .NET Core 2.0 and later versions. If you're using .NET Core 1.0 or .NET Core 1.1, you first have to run dotnet restore yourself.
Note: Starting with .NET Core 2.0 SDK, you don't have to run dotnet restore because it's run implicitly by all commands that require a restore to occur, such as dotnet new, dotnet build and dotnet run. It's still a valid command in certain scenarios where doing an explicit restore makes sense, such as continuous integration builds in Azure DevOps Services or in build systems that need to explicitly control the time at which the restore occurs.
