cshtml view returns 404 in vscode

[thienedits]

I posted in the omnisharp repo but hopefully can get some more guidance here. I have a very simple controller returning a cshtml view. Works when project is opened in Visual Studio Code but not vscode.

dotnet/vscode-csharp#1252

Upgrade your project to NetCore 1.1 with msbuild and try again

What are you doing to run your application in vscode?

[thienedits]

@pranavkm I am going to Debug window and clicking .Net Core Launch (web)

[pranavkm]

What's the working directory set to in your application? The template assumes your content root is based off the current directory, so an incorrect directory would certainly explain the issue you're seeing here.

Hi @pranavkm another dev set this up and I am not very familiar with .Net but I think its currently a folder called DiceWeb6. Inside this directory there is a Controllers and Views directory

here is the vscode launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": ".NET Core Launch (web)",

            "request": "launch",
            "preLaunchTask": "default",
            "program": "${workspaceRoot}\\bin\\Debug\\netcoreapp1.0\\DiceWeb6.dll",
            "args": [],
            "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart",
            "launchBrowser": {
                "enabled": true,
                "args": "${auto-detect-url}",
                "windows": {
                    "command": "cmd.exe",
                    "args": "/C start ${auto-detect-url}"
                },
                "osx": {
                    "command": "open"
                },
                "linux": {
                    "command": "xdg-open"
                }
            },
            "env": {
                "ASPNETCORE_URLS": "http://localhost:9876",
                "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"  
            },
            "sourceFileMap": {
                "/Views": "${workspaceRoot}\\Views"
            }
        },
        {
            "name": ".NET Core Attach",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "attach",
            "processId": "${command.pickProcess}"
        }
    ]
}

The workspace settings seem right at first glance, but it would be useful to look at what the ContentRoot \ PWD is in a running application. Also, does it work if you execute dotnet run from the shell?

[thienedits]

yes seems running dotnet run works.

[pranavkm]

@thienedits, could you print out what the ContentRoot is from inside the process - running Console.WriteLine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()); from your Program.Main() should suffice?

[thienedits]

@pranavkm

Hosting environment: Development
Content root path: C:\pub\inferno-core\src\DiceWeb6
Now listening on: http://*:9876
Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.

I tried setting up a using the preview2 CLI + the launchsetting.json you have (vscode auto generates something pretty identical) and it worked fine for me (this was on Ubuntu 16.04 machine, I don't have access to a OSX machine), and that seemed to work fine for me. At this point, I'd recommend updating to the RTM CLI tooling since dotnet run does work and I'm not sure if you're running in to a bug in the preview CLI tooling that was fixed.

[thienedits]

ok i will take a look thanks.

Closing because there is not enough information to reproduce this problem.
