consoleasync yields lowercase only project reference in the solution file

[JBrolin90]

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

On Linux (LMDE 6), when using the template "consoleasync" to create the "MyProject" project, the template yields a solution file with a lowercase project reference, i.e. "myproject" and the dotnet restore command fails. Both the project and solution files have the expected case in their filenames though, i.e., "MyProject.sln" and "MyProject.csproj"

Thank you for reporting this. I put this on next month's sprint to investigate.

Sorry for the delay. None of the commands used in the tutorial to create the template will generate a SLN file. You must have opened up the project in an IDE that generated a solution file and it accidentally got ingested into the template. I'm going to close this issue as I don't think there is actually anything to correct in the article.
