Even though setting are as follows:

<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="DeepEqual" Version="2.0.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="15.9.0" />

<PackageReference Include="xunit.runner.visualstudio" Version="2.4.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging" Version="5.0.0" PrivateAssets="all" />
</ItemGroup>

How come test runner is looking for framework_version=3.1.27 .

Can someone please help me understand the issue
