Visual Studio 2022 - implementing Debugging Razor Pages due to Missing Dependencies
I'm confused about I'm dealing with I'm trying to debug I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm working with a frustrating scenario while debugging a Razor Pages application in Visual Studio 2022. I recently upgraded my project to .NET 6, and now when I attempt to start debugging, I receive the behavior message: `"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation'"`. This behavior appears to be related to a missing dependency, but I've confirmed that the package is included in my project. I've tried the following steps: 1. Ensured that `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation` is installed via NuGet Package Manager, and I can see it listed in my `*.csproj` file as: ```xml <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RuntimeCompilation" Version="6.0.0" /> ``` 2. Cleaned and rebuilt the solution, but the scenario continues. 3. Verified that the project targets the correct framework version (net6.0), which I confirmed in the project properties. 4. Attempted to uninstall and reinstall the package to ensure everything is up to date. Here’s a snippet of my `Startup.cs` file where I configure services: ```csharp public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddRazorPages().AddRazorRuntimeCompilation(); } ``` Despite following these steps, I still encounter the same behavior when I initiate the debugger. I also checked the Output window for more information, but it doesn't provide any additional clues. Has anyone experienced this scenario before or have suggestions on how to resolve this? I'm worried that the missing dependency is affecting my project's ability to run in debug mode. This is happening in both development and production on Debian. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I'm working in a macOS environment. What are your experiences with this? For reference, this is a production REST API. Is this even possible?
