Vstest: Cannot publish --self-contained test projects

[Rotvig]

Description

When trying to publish a dotnet core 2.2 project combined with using the package "Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="15.9.0" the publish of the self-contained project fails.

See the repo i have made for reproduction

https://github.com/Rotvig/Publish.SelfContained.NetCore.2.2

Steps to reproduce

Use package "PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="15.9.0""
Run command "dotnet publish -c release -r win10-x64 --self-contained"

Expected behavior

I expected a self-contained application

Actual behavior

Getting error "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.2.103\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.RuntimeIdentifierInference.targets(122,5): error NETSDK1067: Self-contained applications are required to use the application host. Either set SelfContained to false or set UseAppHost to true. [C:\Users\rener\OneDrive\Desktop\Publish.Test\Publish.Test\Publish.Test.csproj]"

@Rotvig the parameter UseAppHost must be set to true when using --self-contained
dotnet publish -c release -r win10-x64 --self-contained true /p:useapphost=true should work for you

it works thanks !

But shouldn't /p:useapphost be set to true by default when --self-contained is set to true ?

Seems fair, maybe you could take it up with the dotnet repo
