Description
Fixie.Console 2.2.1 targets netcoreapp3.1:
However, if the only .NET Core SDK installed is a later one (e.g. 5.0), then running tests in a project which references it like this fails:
<DotNetCliToolReference Include="Fixie.Console" Version="2.2.1" />(Note: this might be caused by a Fixie.Console transitive dependency)
Steps to Reproduce
This commit nil4/dotnet-transform-xdt@9cab0ad updates the SDK to 5.0. The GitHub actions build failed with the following message:
dotnet fixie --configuration Release --report test-results.xml
It was not possible to find any compatible framework version
The framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '2.0.0' was not found.
- The following frameworks were found:
5.0.0 at [C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
This reproduces locally with this dotnet --info output:
dotnet --info

Expected Behavior
dotnet fixie works when only a later .NET SDK (e.g. 5.0) is installed.
Actual Behavior
dotnet fixie fails when 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '2.0.0' is not available.
More information
In the local NuGet cache folder, I updated dotnet-fixie.runtimeconfig.json with the following:
{
"runtimeOptions": {
"tfm": "netcoreapp2.0",
+ "rollForward": "Major",
"framework": {
"name": "Microsoft.NETCore.App",
"version": "2.0.0"
}
}
}This runtime option is documented here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/whats-new/dotnet-core-3-0#runtimesdk
With this change, the issue appears resolved. The output is below, for reference:

Would you be possible to add the <RollForward>Major</RollForward> to the Fixie.Console project?
See nil4/dotnet-transform-xdt#42 for a change that helped a similar use case.
