NUnit Test template doesn't like solutions using Central Package Management

[afscrome]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

If you have an existing project with an app host using Central Package Management, adding a new test project template won't compile as the templates include package versions in the test project's csproj file, rather than adding them into Directory.Packages.props

Expected Behavior

After adding the test project, it should compile

Steps To Reproduce

1. Have an existing solution with an app host, using CPM

csproj:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <Sdk Name="Aspire.AppHost.Sdk" Version="9.2.0" />

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <UserSecretsId>734f34bc-b566-4273-b508-476db6cf862b</UserSecretsId>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Aspire.Hosting.AppHost" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Directory.Packages.Props:

<Project>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <ManagePackageVersionsCentrally>true</ManagePackageVersionsCentrally>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageVersion Include="Aspire.Hosting.AppHost" Version="9.2.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

2. Add a test project - I used NUnit, although I imagine other test frameworks have the same issue

Exceptions (if any)

Projects that use central package version management should not define the version on the PackageReference items but on the PackageVersion items: NUnit.Analyzers;Aspire.Hosting.Testing;Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk;NUnit;coverlet.collector;NUnit3TestAdapter.

This is a wider problem than test projects (or Aspire): #1253

Closing this as this isn't an Aspire specific issue but rather a NuGet issue: NuGet/Home#12967
