Cannot find a file named webdriver.json' or an embedded resource with the id 'WebDriver.FirefoxPreferences

I am trying to do some selenium tests on my new unit test project:

My code is:

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;
using OpenQA.Selenium.PhantomJS;
using System;

namespace HelloWorldDevOpsUnitTests
{
    [TestClass]
    public class ChucksClass1
    {
        private string baseURL = "http://localhost:5000/";
        private RemoteWebDriver driver;
        private string browser;
        public TestContext TestContext { get; set; }

        [TestMethod]
        [TestCategory("Selenium")]
        [Priority(1)]
        [Owner("FireFox")]

        public void TireSearch_Any()
        {
            driver = new FirefoxDriver(new FirefoxBinary(@"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe"), new FirefoxProfile(), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10));
            driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
            driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(this.baseURL);
            driver.FindElementById("search - box").Clear();
            driver.FindElementById("search - box").SendKeys("tire");
            //do other Selenium things here!
        }

        [TestCleanup()]
        public void MyTestCleanup()
        {
            driver.Quit();
        }

        [TestInitialize()]
        public void MyTestInitialize()
        {
        }
    }
}

I got these errors when running:

Message: Test method HelloWorldDevOpsUnitTests.ChucksClass1.TireSearch_Any threw exception: OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: Cannot find a file named 'C:\Users\valencil\DevOpsTest\HelloWorldDevOpsUnitTests\bin\Debug\webdriver.json' or an embedded resource with the id 'WebDriver.FirefoxPreferences'. TestCleanup method HelloWorldDevOpsUnitTests.ChucksClass1.MyTestCleanup threw exception. System.NullReferenceException: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object..

When you build your project, the Selenium web driver binary should be copied to the output directory of your test project (e.g. /bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/). Try passing in the relative path to this binary to the XDriver constructor:

IWebDriver driver;
switch (browser.ToLower())
{
    case "firefox":
       driver = new FirefoxDriver("./");
    break;
    case "chrome":
       driver = new ChromeDriver("./");
    break;
    case "ie":
    case "internetexplorer":
       driver = new InternetExplorerDriver("./");
    break;
    case "phantomjs":
       driver = new PhantomJSDriver("./");
    break;
    default:
        driver = new PhantomJSDriver("./");
    break;   
}
