Running tests with vstest.console.exe on a .net core unit test project fails.

[ChadEQ]

While executing unit tests in a generated unit test project from the command line an exception occurs.
In my case, the unit tests are all C# tests, but the referenced Asp.Net core project contains TypeScript Mocha tests.

Note, I was able to override the TestFrameworks path using a RunSettings file, however it would be desirable for this not to be required.

Expected Behavior

Unit tests to be executed without an exception and without requiring a runsettings file.

Actual Behavior

An example of the output:

Microsoft (R) Test Execution Command Line Tool Version 16.11.0

Starting test execution, please wait...
A total of 1 test files matched the specified pattern.

Test Run Failed.

The problem seems to be from the TestFrameworkDirectories class's GetTestframeworkFolderRoot method using the unit test dll's location and then appending ..\_common to the path.

Here is the command line I executed:

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\vstest.console.exe" AspNetCoreTest.Tests.dll /Platform:X64 /Logger:Trx /InIsolation /Logger:Console"

Here is the RunSettings file that I used to force the path:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RunSettings>
	<JavaScriptUnitTest>
		<TestFrameworkRoot>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\NodeJsTools\TestAdapter\TestFrameworks</TestFrameworkRoot>
	</JavaScriptUnitTest>
</RunSettings>

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an Asp.Net core project
2. Setup Mocha unit testing following the instructions located here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/javascript/unit-testing-javascript-with-visual-studio?view=vs-2019&tabs=mocha
3. Add a library class to the project with a simple method
4. Generate a unit test for the library class in a new test project
5. Execute the unit test via the command line
