How to auto run a dotnet command when opening a solution in visual studio

Question

在 Visual Studio 2017 中使用我的单元测试打开解决方案时，我有兴趣运行 dotnet watch test。有没有办法在解决方案打开后立即运行，而无需手动执行？

Visual Studio Task Runner can run any arbitrary CMD command when a project/solution is opened.

Prerequisites: Command Task Runner extention.

Add Foo.cmd with a target command to your project having dotnet watch package installed. It could have one line of code:
```
 dotnet watch run
```

Make sure the file is properly encoded to UTF-8 without BOM.

After Command Task Runner extention install, Add to Task Runner option should be accessible from context menu of *.cmd files. Press it and choose per-project level. As a result, commands.json should appear in the project.
Go to VS View -> Other Windows -> Task Runner Explorer . Set up the binding for the Foo command in the context menu: Bindings -> Project Open (the window refresh could help to see a recently added command).
Re-open the solution and check a command execution result in Task Runner Explorer .
