.deps.json could not be found

I've just created an empty file ex: MyProject.deps.json and now it's working fine.

I'm using VS2015 update 3

If you end up here after having similar problems running unit tests in a devops pipeline, you can fix the problem by ignoring the /ref directory in your test pipeline using the following pattern under Test files:

!**\ref\**

This ensures the pipeline ignores the extra test dll in the ref directory.

I have the same issue, but I created a project with name "MyprojectWithoutSpaces" and the issue is gone. I suppose is a problem in the RC version
