Unable to target CoreCLR from Visual Studio Code

Hellp everyone,

I created a totally empty project and specified only CoreCLR as targetted framework; i.e., in project.json I have:

"frameworks": {
    "dnxcore50": {}
}

On my PC, the dnvm confirugration is the following:

Active Version           Runtime Architecture OperatingSystem Alias
------ -------           ------- ------------ --------------- -----
       1.0.0-rc1-update1 clr     x64          win
       1.0.0-rc1-update1 clr     x86          win
  *    1.0.0-rc1-update1 coreclr x64          win             default
       1.0.0-rc1-update1 coreclr x86          win

Still, when I run the application I receive:

System.InvalidOperationException: The current runtime target framework is not compatible with 'SomeProject'.
Current runtime target framework: 'DNX,Version=v4.5.1 (dnx451)'
 Version:      1.0.0-rc1-16231
 Type:         Clr
 Architecture: x86
 OS Name:      Windows
 OS Version:   10.0
 Runtime Id:   win10-x86

Please make sure the runtime matches a framework specified in project.json

Visual Studio Code is still "thinking" that it should run x86 CLR DNX and not the x64 CoreCLR one.

I'm not sure if this is a Visual Studio Code issue, or ASP.Net Core tooling issue; and appreciate any hint and help.

I too am seeing this issue, if I launch a command window from the command pallet and invoke dnx web then kestrel launches fine against coreclr.

Hi @TheBlueSky and @TranscendOfSypherus, with DNX replaced with .NET Core, is this still an issue. It seems to be pretty stale. Let me know if you're still experiencing this problem.

[TheBlueSky]

@DustinCampbell, it isn't relevant anyway now, after moving to dotnet. I'm going to test this later, and if there is an issue, I believe we should open a new "Issue".

[DustinCampbell]

yes, that'd be best.
