Reproducing Newtonsoft.Json build version conflict

Question

I decided to consistently reproduce the build version conflict in Newtonsoft.Json (related to my previous question Why is Newtonsoft.Json so prone to build version conflicts? ) In order to better understand this, but I cannot run it.

From the top answer there, this should happen if I have a project A that references one version of Json.NET, then it refers to a project B that itself references another version (and they don't have assembly redirects to handle the release).

I made a decision with the class library project and the command line project, both of which reference Newtonsoft.Json, which I installed with Nuget Package Manager for both projects, and then I edited the packages.config class library to use the older version:

<package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="6.0.1" targetFramework="net452" />

While the command line project is referencing the latest version:

<package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="10.0.2" targetFramework="net452" />

This does not cause a problem, but the project is still successfully building and executing (I just serialize the string and print it from both projects, and I call the DLL from the EXE to make sure that it is trying to load both versions of Newtonsoft.Json.

I downloaded the test project https://github.com/sashoalm/ReproduceNewtonsoftJsonBug , if necessary.

Why does the error not work?
