Starting from 1.3.1 version, WireMockServer.Start() starts to throw below exception when tests are run with NUnit.ConsoleRunner 3.15.2

System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60’.

Test to reproduce

1- Create a unit test project

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
    <LangVersion>latest</LangVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="NUnit" Version="3.12.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="17.3.2" PrivateAssets="All" />
    <PackageReference Include="NUnit3TestAdapter" Version="4.1.0" PrivateAssets="All" />
    <PackageReference Include="NunitXml.TestLogger" Version="2.1.62" PrivateAssets="All" />
    <PackageReference Include="WireMock.Net" Version="1.3.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

With Test class

[TestFixture]
public class Test
{
    private WireMockServer server;
    [SetUp]
    public void Setup()
    {
        server = WireMockServer.Start();
    }

    [Test]
    public void SomeTest()
    {
        Assert.Pass();
    }

    [TearDown]
    public void TearDown()
    {
        server.Stop();
    }
}

And global.json

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "6.0.400",
    "rollForward": "major"
  }
}

1. dotnet build
2. Run tests using NUnit.ConsoleRunner "C:\Users\br123\.nuget\packages\nunit.consolerunner\3.15.2\tools\nunit3-console.exe" bin\AnyCPUDebug\net6.0\WireMockSample.dll <!-- path to compiled project --!>

Additional info

I am not sure if this should be reported on this repository or in nunit-console, but since this a regression following WireMock.Net upgrade I choose to repot it here. If you need further info, I’ll be glad to share it with you.

OK, I thought this was also a dotnet tool. I’ll try this and check if it throws the same exception.
