dotnet razor-precompile cannot find project.json but I am using csproj

Steps to reproduce

I tried the following command on ASP.NET Core 1.1 project with .csproj file: dotnet razor-precompile --output OutputFolder

Expected behavior

I expected the views to be compiled and placed on the OutputFolder

Actual behavior

I get error:
Could not find file 'C:\...\project.json'

My project is using ASP.NET Core 1.1 with **.csproj** file ... I do not have a project.json anymore.

Am I missing something?

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

I just have to apologize for the confusing place we are in. .NET Core 1.0 and 1.1 runtimes are both RTM and fully supported. Any application you build on either of those frameworks is completely go live, can be run in production and you can call and our support teams will help you out.

The tooling is what is in “preview” and it will RTM with Visual Studio 2017. We have the Visual Studio 2015 based project.json based tooling which is full featured and stable. With Visual Studio 2017 RC we released an alpha version of the new .csproj based tooling which is not as stable. We have some updates to the RC that are coming that will increase the stability before RTM.

But yet you release a Visual Studio 2017 RC with go live? I have the same problem. If i want to run my solution on IIS on staging server, now my clients can not see the progress 😦

What’s the point then for releasing 2017 RC and also moving forward to csproj instead of project.json if you don’t support the whole bits? So I have to convert everything back to VSS 2015 now?
