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)

Jerry Cai-MSFT 991 Reputation points2020-12-02T06:53:14.8+00:00 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. -

Robert 1 Reputation point2021-01-29T23:46:19.73+00:00 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 --referenceScriptLibrariesThe 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.
