I ran into the same error error following the tutorial. I'm still learning Blazor myself so take this advice with that in mind.

When I followed a tutorial - I was using the Blazor Web App template - which creates two projects - one for Client and another for Server side. See here for more information: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77575252/missing-html-file-for-blazor-net-8-web-app-when-published-with-jetbrains-rid

I was able to get past the error you see by updating the workflow file, however, the main problem is that I did not have the Blazor WASM Stand Alone project in my solution. Once I added this - I was able to deploy using Visual Studio.

To fix the build issue you see do the following:

  1. Go to your repo on Git
  2. Select .github/workflows
  3. Select the .yml file
  4. Update app_location: "Client" # App source code path to the name of you client project ex: app_location: "HelloWorld.Client"

Please note -I still had build issues which I realized that the Client project outputs no index.html file. This led me to the Stack link that indicated I was not using the Blazor WASM Stand Alone Project.

Hope this helps!
