From Visual Studio 2019 version 16.2 preview 4 it is possible to run tests against a selected target framework in the test project, so one can use this to run .NET Core tests.
An alternative approach is to make use of the command line. If you need to frequently debug into .NET Core tests, you can temporarily switch the order of the <TargetFrameworks> in NUnit.TestAdapter.Tests.csproj.
The mock-assembly tests are not for direct running.
See https://github.com/nunit/docs/wiki/Packaging-the-V3-Adapter for more details.
