观看ASP.NET Core 2.0应用

Question

I have a new ASP.NET Core 2.0 app. By "new", I mean, it is a brand new project created via Visual Studio 2017. From the command-line, I can type dotnet run and my app will load just fine. However, I want to have hot reloads during my development. So, I tried running dotnet watch run . When I run this command, I receive the following error:

No executable found matching command "dotnet-watch"

I assumed this meant that the DotNet Watcher Tools were not installed. However, I verified that they are in fact installed via Nuget. What am I missing? How do I watch an ASP.NET Core 2.0 app for changes?

Thank you

Answer 1

As of version 2 of this tool, I was receiving the same error. My mistake was installing the package via NuGet. Instead, follow the instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/dotnet-watch

1. Add a Microsoft.DotNet.Watcher.Tools package reference to the .csproj file :

   <ItemGroup>
   <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.DotNet.Watcher.Tools" Version="2.0.0" />
   </ItemGroup>

2. Install the Microsoft.DotNet.Watcher.Tools package by running the following command:

   dotnet restore
