FS2030 Invalid use of emitting a reference assembly : when compiling with VS 2022, .NET 7, F# 7

See original GitHub issue

I get this error when I try to compile with VS 2022 Preview latest just installed, .NET 7 and F# 7. It happens in all my Bolero client projects, including latest version of Bolero.

FS2030 Invalid use of emitting a reference assembly, do not use '--staticlink', or '--refonly' and '--refout' together.

The error you started the issue with relates to using net7.0 as the target framework. If you simply revert the target framework back to net6.0 (which is the default when creating a new Bolero project) using the .NET 7.0 toolchain as well as the .NET 6.0 runtime it works just as it always did under .NET 6.0. The desire to generate or not generate a reference assembly by default only seems to be an issue if the target framework is net7.0. Whether this is a nuance of using .NET 7.0 or something needs to be changed in Bolero is more capably handled by others but if either yourself or others want to use .NET 7.0 it can be used but you likely should not yet target the .NET 7.0 runtime for Bolero even if the TodoMVC might work as something may not work precisely the way it had.
