Does anyone know how to run a test project on a VSTS using dotnet test?
My situation is this. I have a simple MVC dotnet core web project, which builds and is hosted on an azure webapp. In the solution I have a xUnitTest project.
I can build both projects in the solution successfully, and publish the result from the build stage ready for the release stage in VSTS. I can do the Webapp fine, but want to run the tests after the webapp has been deployed which is where I have a problem.
Trying to run "dotnet test" through powershell fails saying it can't find project.json which a Visual Studio 2017 project doesn't have.

When I use the 'dotnet' release step, it tells me that the csproj is not there, which I can see from the powershell that it definately is.

I can run "dotnet test" successfully on my local command line, using the exact same commands, however I need this to be on VSTS so that I can make the testing part of our CI builds.
