Referencing ASP.NET Core Web Application(.NET Core) from Class Library (.NET Core)

Question

I am trying to add reference to ASP.NET Core Web Application from Class Library project (.NET Core) which will be my Unit Tests project.

I am getting error with default empty projects(File -> New Project):

I have tried to downgrade Tests project to 1.4 with no success.

Answer 1

netcoreapp is for applications(web, console and test ), netstandard is for class library projects.

So, changing netstandard1.5 to netcoreapp1.0 in test project's project.json will solve your problem.
