How to run F# type providers using .Net Core SDK Preview2?

[svick]

Steps to reproduce

1. Run dotnet new -l fs.
2. Add dependency to "FSharp.Data": "2.3.1".
3. dotnet restore, dotnet build

Expected behavior

dotnet build succeeds and I can then go on to use type providers from FSharp.Data.

Actual behavior

dotnet build fails with:

error FS3031: The type provider 'C:\Users\Svick.nuget\packages\FSharp.Data\2.3.1\lib\portable-net45+netcore45\FSharp.Data.dll' reported an error: Assembly attribute 'TypeProviderAssemblyAttribute' refers to a designer assembly 'FSharp.Data.DesignTime' which cannot be loaded or doesn't exist. Could not load file or assembly 'FSharp.Data.DesignTime, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified.
warning FS3005: Referenced assembly 'C:\Users\Svick.nuget\packages\FSharp.Data\2.3.1\lib\portable-net45+netcore45\FSharp.Data.dll' has assembly level attribute 'Microsoft.FSharp.Core.CompilerServices.TypeProviderAssemblyAttribute' but no public type provider classes were found

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

I thought you are supposed to use the F# compiler for all things F#?

/cc @cartermp @enricosada

[svick]

@blackdwarf I don't understand. Are you saying I'm doing something wrong in my Steps to reproduce? Or that I should report this at Microsoft/visualfsharp? Or something else?

[blackdwarf]

@svick I don't know, that's why I asked. I assumed that the F# compiler is a tool, right? dotnet-compile-fsc?

[enricosada]

@svick the FSharp.Data doesnt support .net core (netstandard1.6) yet. Btw good bug report, thx

You can see in this checklist to where report bugs about f# and .net core: https://github.com/dotnet/netcorecli-fsc/wiki/FAQ#where-to-report-bugs

Or open it in https://github.com/dotnet/netcorecli-fsc , otherwise i'll move this one, np

thx @blackdwarf for ping
