How to use aspnet-codegenerator tool for scaffolding in vscode

I’m building an asp.net application using VScode, scaffolding areas using “aspnet-codegenerator” command always fail because of missing files.

I tried to uninstall the tool and reinstall it again, but still the same error

Method 1

Firstly, please try to check if MvcControllerWithContext.cshtml file does exist under that folder mentioned in error.

Templates file path on my computer

C:Usersuser_name_here.nugetpackagesmicrosoft.visualstudio.web.codegenerators.mvcverison_here(such as 3.1.4)TemplatesControllerGenerator

Besides, if you indeed installed the dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator tool, but error still occurs, you can try this workaround:

1. copy Templates/ControllerGenerator and Templetes/ViewGenerator to the project folder

   

2. then rebuild the project and run your dotnet aspnet-codegenerator command to generate controller and view etc.
