Copying files at compilation for the Asp.net Core 1.0 project

Question

I am creating REST Api with Asp.Net Core 1.0, and I want to copy a file that is not part of the project to the output path when compiling the project.

I can’t figure out how to do this. I tried using "buildOptions: copyToOutput" without any success. I can not understand the link to project.json found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/tools/project-json

Say that I want to copy the file ... \ TestFolder \ Test.config to the output folder of the current project. How can i do this?

, buildOptions .

"buildOptions": {
    "copyToOutput": [

Root folder:
