VSTest task fails to execute tests in .NET Core 2.0 test project

See original GitHub issue

If I provide a .NET Core 2.0 test project DLL as input to the VSTest task (version 2.0.70), I encounter the following error: 2017-08-21T07:42:45.2798678Z Warning: Unable to load types from the test source 'C:\Agent1\_work\34\s\Tests.NetCore\bin\Release\netcoreapp2.0\Tests.NetCore.dll'. Some or all of the tests in this source may not be discovered.

Indeed, no tests from this assembly are actually executed. The same tests are executed without issues via VS 2017 test explorer.

VS 2017 update 3 and .NET Core SDK 2.0.0 are installed.

any plan to support .NETCore 2.0 unit tests?

Because if I run vstest.console /? I get these info below:

--Framework|/Framework:<Framework Version> Target .Net Framework version to be used for test execution. Valid values are ".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.1", ".NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0" etc. Other supported values are Framework35, Framework40, Framework45 and FrameworkCore10.

And it says it only supports FrameworkCore10. Will there be FrameworkCore20 or related TFM support for .NET Core 2.0 unit tests available build-in the vstest.console.exe?
