The below workflow fails for the dotnet test step. The build before works, so I am sure the framework is restored.
.NET location: /usr/share/dotnet/
No frameworks were found.
For testing I have checked the directory, it is there. Also I have tried to set the env var DOTNET_ROOT: /usr/share/dotnet/ explicitly. Another approach to to set the dependencies a 2nd time directly before the test, no success (this was something I have found as potential solution).
- name: Install dependencies
run: dotnet restore
Crosschecked the 2 projects (test/application), the version related parts are identical.
<TargetFramework>net8.0-windows10.0.17763.0</TargetFramework>
<EnableWindowsTargeting>true</EnableWindowsTargeting>
<SupportedOSPlatformVersion>10.0.17763.0</SupportedOSPlatformVersion>
What could the issue be?

Lex Li (in the comments) has pointed me in the right direction:
The project targets Windows and requires Windows SDK 10.0 and above to compile. So you cannot use Ubuntu as the environment. The manifest you chose was incorrect from the beginning. Please switch to a Windows environment and try again.
Using Windows works. I have used <EnableWindowsTargeting>true</EnableWindowsTargeting> and therefor it is possible to compile on ubuntu.
Furthermore the UNIT tests are not really Windows dependent and would run on ubuntu. But I got a github warning that build and test use different requirements: The issue was resolved by unifying the two project files in VS2022 and github.
Obviously now the UNIT test is limited running on Windows only. The error message itself is not very clear and I was completely heading in the wrong direction.
.NET location: /usr/share/dotnet/
No frameworks were found.
Means cannot run on ubuntu.
