I've created a new template ASP.NET Core site, and I've just stared fiddling around with it. However, I'm finding none of the type script is compiling into javascript. Ever!
I've tried:
- Clean & rebuild
- Closing and restarting visual studio
- Stopping the site in the IIS takbar before restarting
- Closing the IIS in the taskbar before restarting
- Switching to IE or Chrome
- Running VS as admin
I created a completely new project, changed the host port so it was a different URL, before compiling I changed the "Hello world!" and it still displays "Hello world!". It has never even been compiled once with that!
I can put a breakpoint in Startup.cs, but any breakpoints in TypeScript "will not be hit" due to no symbols loaded. __ I found this, and have the same issue here: here. None of the solutions seem to fix the problem.
I've added "watch": true to the tsconfig.json, and it builds fine (and I checked the SDK folders, versions 1.8 and 2.0 - so a late enough version), so typescript has no problem with the setting.
But it's still not compiling, ever!
Edit 2 Found this discussion, which says to add "compileOnSave": true to the tsconfiguration file. Still no result.
I can't believe how difficult it's been to get a template project to compile! It doesn't feel like it's pickup up the config file at all, as I'd had compileOnSave in the CompileOptions when it shouldn't be - yet no errors were reported. I've tried moving it alongside the wwwroot folder.
