When compiling a Razor View in my unit test project, I encounter this string interpolation error:

Unexpected character '$'

I have looked at this thread String interpolation in a Razor view? and followed the steps in the answers to install the https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform/ Nuget package and modify my app.config file accordingly but I am still getting the error.

My language version is set to 'automatically selected based on framework version' and is greyed out and I am unable to change, and the project is using MVC 5.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? The Stack Overflow question I linked to earlier is over 5 years old so I wonder if there's some sort of update?

Could you please check your framework version? – Roman Klimenko Jan 26 '21 at 10:31

Probably, this article will help you https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/configure-language-version I have just tried `dotnet new mvc ; dotnet run` and I can use string interpolation without any additional configuration. – Roman Klimenko Jan 26 '21 at 10:56
