RazorLight requires ASP.NET Core runtime

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Because RazorLight has a FrameworkReference to Microsoft.AspNetCore.App, the user is expected to have the corresponding runtime. This is a show stopper for console or WPF apps as users of those will not have it installed (and shouldn’t need to).

To Reproduce

Create a WPF app
Add RazorLight
Publish it
Try running on a machine where neither ASP.NET Core runtime nor SDK is installed

Expected behavior

It should work with just the base .NET Runtime.

Information (please complete the following information):

OS: Win10 x64
Platform .NET Core 3.1
RazorLight version 2.0-beta9
Are you using the OFFICIAL RazorLight package? yes
Rider 2020.1.3

Off topic, but compile templates at build time is a feature that RazorLight should have.

OK, please add it 😃

I tried removing this from RazorLight for core 3.0 and 3.1 <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" /> and added this <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Runtime" Version="2.2.0" />

and then put this into RazorLight.Tests for core 3.0 and 3.1 <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />

After that, everything compiled and all unit tests pass. I did not see the errors shown above.

I think the only reason that the framework reference is necessary is because the tests project uses some aspnetcore types like Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.IHostingEnvironment
