I am getting lots of CS0246 Code error messages in Visual Studio after trying to run the Selenium code below. I have chosen the ASP.Net Core file to programme the code in.
The file is called LoginTest.cs. Here is the code:
using NUnit.Framework;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
namespace Tests
{
[TestFixture]
class LoginTest
{
IWebDriver Driver;
[SetUp]
public void SetUp()
{
Driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
[TearDown]
public void TearDown()
{
Driver.Quit();
}
[Test]
public void ValidAccount()
{
Driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/login");
Driver.FindElement(By.Id("username")).SendKeys("tomsmith");
Driver.FindElement(By.Id("password")).SendKeys("SuperSecretPassword!");
Driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("button")).Click();
}
}
}
The error messages I am getting are:

CS0246 The type or namespace name 'OpenQA' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I have downloaded NUnit 3 Test Adapter (per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47375788/install-nunit-with-visual-studio-2017).
As I have also got HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure error on my localhost, I have trusted the IIS certificate (per https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/robert_mcmurray/2013/11/15/how-to-trust-the-iis-express-self-signed-certificate/)
Lastly, I did a dotnet restore as per https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/27820/cs0246-the-type-or-namespace-name-system-could-not.html
Nothing I have done has stopped these error messages. As I am new to Selenium and I am running this code file from a tutorial on the basics of Selenium, I could not tell what the problem is. Does anyone here have any idea what I could be doing wrong or what I need to do to fix the problem?
UPDATE 1:
Thanks, Kate. I have Nunit under the References node but not the OpenQA.Selenium so I tried to look for it in Manage NuGet Packages but it is not found. What I do have already are Selenium.Webdriver and Selenium.Support. Any idea why OpenQA.Selenium could not be found under Browse? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE 2:
I managed to get rid of the error messages after adding in packages Selenium.WebDriver, Selenium.Support and Selenium.WebDriverBackedSelenium but when running am now getting the error message that 'A project with an Output Type of Class Library' cannot be started directly. In order to debug this project, add an executable project to this solution which references the library project. Set the executable project as the startup project'. I am trying to understand how to do this exactly. Any clear explanation is appreciated.
UPDATE 3:
Finally managed to get rid of the error message above too. I just had to install Selenium.Firefox.WebDriver package. Thanks for the help offered
