Scaffolding using terminal dosen't work

Vedang 1

I was following the ASP.NET Core MVC tutorial from adding-model
but when I run the command
dotnet aspnet-codegenerator controller -name MoviesController -m Movie -dc MvcMovieContext --relativeFolderPath Controllers --useDefaultLayout --referenceScriptLibraries
it shows the following error in terminal:

Building project ...  
Finding the generator 'controller'...  
Running the generator 'controller'...  
Attempting to compile the application in memory.  
Attempting to figure out the EntityFramework metadata for the model and DbContext: 'Movie'  
A file matching the name MvcControllerWithContext.cshtml was not found within any of the folders:   
   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.ActionInvoker.<BuildCommandLine>b__6_0()  
   at Microsoft.Extensions.CommandLineUtils.CommandLineApplication.Execute(String[] args)  
   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.ActionInvoker.Execute(String[] args)  
   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.CodeGenCommand.Execute(String[] args)

I am using .NET SDK 5.0 in manjaro linux 20.2.

I tested this code in .net 5.0, but works well. According to your error message, It could be triggered by a lack of files in 'ControllerGenerator' folder. So you can try to use ' dotnet tool uninstall -g dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator
dotnet tool install -g dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator ' to uninstall and then reinstall the codegenerator.

I can confirm that this issue exists at least since the autumn last year. I have not found solution for it. Using Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, Rider EAP 2020.3. C# 9, dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator version '5.0.1', dotnet 5.0.102.

When running the utility to build crud pages for Razor Pages web app:

dotnet aspnet-codegenerator razorpage -m GpsSession -dc ApplicationDbContext -udl -outDir Pages/GpsSessions --referenceScriptLibraries

The following output is given:

Building project ...
Finding the generator 'razorpage'...
Running the generator 'razorpage'...
Attempting to figure out the EntityFramework metadata for the model and DbContext: 'GpsSession'
A file matching the name Create.cshtml was not found within any of the folders: 
   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.ActionInvoker.<BuildCommandLine>b__6_0()
   at Microsoft....

Same repository, Win10 + Rider then everything OK.

This issue appears to still be active. I have tested using .NET 5 and 6 on macOS Monterey 12.2.1
