Description
Description
Initializing a new F# project and using paket breaks the project.
Repro steps
Make sure that .net6 or .net7 are installed.
- create a new project with
dotnet new console -lang F# - install paket
- add any dependency, e.g.
dotnet paket add FSharp.Core dotnet run
Expected behavior
We see the Hello from F#! output
Actual behavior
Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'FSharp.Core, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'FSharp.Core, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'
Known workarounds
Make sure that the .fsproj and paket.dependencies files agree on the framework.
For example use framework: auto-detect in the paket.dependencies file.
I would suggest changing the default template that is crated with paket init to auto-detect. This seems to me to be the easiest, and most beginner-friendly way.
I located, what I think, are the relevant lines of code. In the Environment.fs file at the very bottom
let init (directory : DirectoryInfo) =
let sources = [PackageSources.DefaultNuGetV3Source]
let additionalLines = [
"storage: none"
"framework: net5.0, netstandard2.0, netstandard2.1"
]
initWithContent sources additionalLines directory
But maybe there is a good reason, which I don't know, for not using auto-detect as the default.

Research direction
Start in Environment.fs at the init function and reproduce the failure with the listed dotnet and Paket commands. Check how paket init generates paket.dependencies, then confirm the default framework setting is compatible with the new project's target and that dotnet run produces the expected Hello from F#! output.
