Debug .Net Core Console App out of Visual Studio 2017

I want to run and debug a .Net Core (2.2) Console application (not ASP.Net Core!). Therefore, I've created a very simple app:

public static class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        WriteLine("**Environment**");
        WriteLine($"Platform: .NET Core");
        WriteLine($"OS: {RuntimeInformation.OSDescription}");
        WriteLine();
        ReadLine();
    }

    private static (string, bool) ParseArgs(string[] args)
    {
        var buffer = new StringBuilder();
        var withColor = false;
        foreach (var s in args)
        {
            if (s == "--with-color")
            {
                withColor = true;
                continue;
            }
            buffer.Append(" ");
            buffer.Append(s);
        }

        return (buffer.ToString(), withColor);
    }
}

Added a Docker file.

Added the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Azure.Containers.Tools.Targets NuGet package.

Finaly changed the launchSettings.json to:

{
  "profiles": {
    "dotnetapp": {
      "commandName": "Project"
    },
    "Docker": {
      "commandName": "Docker"
    }
  }
}

So everything looks like in a default ASP.Net Core WebApp with docker support.

But on "run" I only get a error "The profile 'Docker' can not be executed with this application".

I don't get it, what's the difference? How can I run a simple .Net Core App the same way like a .Net Core ASP App?

Seems like a non-answer, but it seems to work for Steffen (and myself) in Visual Studio 2019. Maybe there is a bug in the Visual Studio 2017 tooling...
