dotnet run needs a way to pass through arguments starting with - or -- to the executable

I have an executable that supports a --foo argument. However, running dotnet run --foo does not work since the run command attempts to parse it (invalid option --foo). We need a way to pass through any arguments that aren’t consumed by the run command to the executable being launched. This might also apply to the dotnet test command.

“dotnet test” without passing through arguments cripples those of us wishing to port test frameworks to .NET Core.

Thnaks, but is this meant to work when launching from VS2017 using IISExpress Have below in launchSettings.json, from below UI in VS

"profiles": { "IIS Express": { "commandName": "IISExpress", "commandLineArgs": "-- -c \"D:/DATA/My Projects/2018/LIS/Config.xml\"", "launchBrowser": true, "environmentVariables": { "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development" } },

But public static void Main(string[] args) is always empty

However does work from command line with

dotnet run – -c “D:/DATA/My Projects/2018/LIS/Config.xml”
