Areas/**/Views glob is not working in publishOptions/include in project.json

Steps to reproduce

Project structure:

Project root
|_ Areas
    |_ Area1
    |  |_ Views
    |      |_ Index.cshtml
    |_ Area2
       |_ Views
           |_ Index.cshtml
|_ wwwroot
|
...

project.json snippet:

"publishOptions": {
        "include": [
            "wwwroot",
            "Views",
            "Areas/**/Views",
            "web.config"
        ]
    }

Publish to IIS with Visual Studio 2015 with ASP.net Core RC2 and Web Deploy 3.6 (with server rc2 components installed).

Expected behavior

Areas/Area1/Views/Index.cshtml and Areas/Area2/Views/Index.cshtml should be published.

Actual behavior

No “Areas” folder is published.

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

.NET Command Line Tools (1.0.0-preview1-002702)

Product Information:

Runtime Environment:

 OS Platform: Windows

I tested the glob pattern in python’s glob module and it produces the expected result: [ 'Areas\Area1\Views', 'Areas\Area2\Views' ] (with the working directory set to the xproj directory).

Am I missing something or is this a bug ?

Temporary fix as stated here is to add

“Areas/ * /.cshtml”

Sure,

I just created a new blank ASP.Net project, added an area (see last commit), and then tried to build+publish. The area is missing in the outputs.

Then added the patch described above (Areas/**/*.cshtml) and the area views appeared in the publish outputs.

Created a blank repository with it: artiomchi/WebApplicationAreaPublishTest
