在Asp.net核心中，dotnet.exe publish命令无法生成.exe文件

Question

I download the Project opensourced at github location https://github.com/aspnet/MusicStore/tree/dev/test/E2ETests

When I try to publish the project using below command, it fails to generate E2ETest.exe file.

    dotnet.exe publish -o c:\..\E2EClient -c Release

Kindly can anyone help me with the same , I want to deploy the Published folder onto another machine.

Tests are not compiled to an .exe - note that they don't have an entry point (ie Main method). They are compiled to a dll and then are being run with the xunit runner.
