ASP.Net Core Generator adds wwwroot to script urls

The ASP.Net Core Generator is properly placing the transpiled and bundled scripts in wwwroot\scripts. Unfortunately, wwwroot is being written to the paths placed in requirejs.config in vendor-bundle.js. This means that requirejs tries to load wwwroot/scripts/app-bundle.js instead of scripts/app-bundle.js. This keeps the Aurelia app from properly loading.

When I hand edit vendor-bundle.js to change the location for app-bundle.js from

"app-bundle": "../wwwroot\\scripts/app-bundle"

to

"app-bundle": "../scripts/app-bundle"

the aurelia app runs successfully.

Also, all of the instances of \\ can simply be replaced with / in aurelia.json.

In version 0.23.0 I just needed to change build>targets>output in aurelia_project/aurelia.json to “wwwroot/scripts” from “scripts”. So it seems the issue still persists.

@EisenbergEffect, I have a workaround for this which means you don’t have to manually edit the vendor-bundle.js every time. Maybe the solution could be incorporated, but I don’t feel confident enough with this repository yet to make a pull request.

In the aurelia_project/aurelia.json file, add the following additional property:

 "build": {
    "targets": [
      {
        "id": "aspnetcore",
        "displayName": "ASP.NET Core",
        "output": "wwwroot/scripts",
        "baseUrl": "scripts" // new property to handle module path generation correctly
      }
    ],

Then, make a small edit in node_modules/aurelia-cli/lib/build/bundle.js as follows:

In the createRequireJSConfig method, replace the following line:

config.paths[currentBundle.moduleId] = '../' + platform.output + '/' + currentBundle.moduleId;

with this line:

config.paths[currentBundle.moduleId] = '../' + platform.baseUrl + '/' + currentBundle.moduleId;

Hope this helps!
