'IServiceCollection' does not contain a definition for 'AddSession'

Question

I am getting an error while adding 'AddSession' in ASP.Net Core 1.1 using VS2017.

'IServiceCollection' does not contain a definition for 'AddSession' and no extension method 'AddSession' accepting a first argument of type 'IServiceCollection' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

.csproj

I know this is a bit late, but did you try to install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Session package from nuget?

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Session/

In Visual Studio: Install-Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Session -Version 1.1.2(in my case)

It worked for me!
