.net core 2.1 test API controller missing AspNetCore.Mvc reference

I'm trying to tests an API controller with .net core 2.1 as from this MS doc.

My code looks like

[Fact]
public async Task ShouldReturnOkWithHealthBackend()
{
var apiConsumerService = new Mock<IApiConsumerService>();
apiConsumerService.Setup(m => m.Consume()).Returns(Task.FromResult(true));

var controller = new HealthController(apiConsumerService.Object);

await controller.GetHealth();
}


When doing the await controller method invocation I get stucked with an "Assembly not referenced error"

I can add the

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;


But VS says that AspNetCore does not exists in the Microsoft namespace.

Intellisense suggests me to add some references but this doesn't work too.

But clicking it does nothing. I have also tried to play with the csproj file to see if I can force those assemblies to be loaded but still no success.

I've tested with the XUnit template as well as a custom NUnit project with same results.

My csproj from API and test project are

What kind of project do I need to create to test a Controller like in the MS doc?

try adding

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" Version="2.1.1" />


to the test project, restore package in test project, see if that solves.

Also, I noticed you didnt bind your project containing the controllers to a version, you should instead do so with the following element.

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" Version="2.1.1" />
