Hi,
I am attempting to build and test the web API in a MS learning exercise on my laptop, not in the sandbox and I am unable to establish a connection to the port. What are my options?

You need to type the url in the browser.
You can also create a visual studio code launch file to do this when you do a debug
also you can use a command line
MacOs: open https://localhost:5001
windows: start https://localhostt:5001
When I type the url in the browser it takes me to this search results page. As I progress thru the instructions, I still receive an error.
These are the following screen shots. The error references a connect command that is not in the learning module.
you don't include {} with port. its just :
httprepl https://localhost:7053 --verbose
if you implemented swagger the swagger file should have been found:
Okay, thank you. I was able to access the webpage without the {}. The next step is requiring two commands ls and [GET]. When I enter ls the message reads no directory structure has been set. When I continue to the next step, I am not familiar with the syntax of the [GET] command.
https://localhost:7053/> ls
. []
WeatherForecast [GET]

Hi @CMF ,
The tutorial Exercise - Create a web API project is clear, I followed the steps to create a new API application, everything works well.
You can check the following screenshot:
Then, open a new integrated terminal from Visual Studio Code, the new terminal screenshot as below:
You can refer the tutorial and try again.

Thank you for the insight. After following your step-by-step tutorial, I have come to the conclusion that my editor's environment is not configure in a manner that is conducive for this exercise. I can access the json file at the http, but the vs code terminal cannot locate the directory or establish a connection. Thanks again Dillion.
