SpecFlow on .net core 2.0

Question

I need to install nuget package SpecFlow 2.1.0 on .net core 2.0 project but i get issue.

Answer 1

Allow me suggest an alternative - Xunit.Gherkin.Quick. I wrote it when I discovered that SpecFlow is not compatible with .NET Core, and I needed to do Gherkin based BDD tests in .NET Core with Xunit.

Besides being compatible with .NET Core and regular .NET too (since it's a .NET Standard library), it works almost like specflow:

• Supports feature files with Gherkin language in it.
• gives you Given/When/Then etc. attributes to implement scenario steps.

What it does not do, compared to SpecFlow:

• It does not automatically generate empty Given/When/Then etc. methods for you based on feature file. Instead, you need to derive from Feature base class and write scenario steps manually. (I think not a big deal to manually write a method signature with attribute on it)
• It only supports Xunit and no other test frameworks.

Acceptable compromise in my opinion.

Answer 2

From Their website:

.NET Core is not yet supported, but we are working on it.
