does it work from CLI?

[iammukeshm]

I see this issue with Visual Studio only. The normal CLI way works.

https://fullstackhero.net/dotnet-webapi-boilerplate/general/getting-started/#creating-your-first-solution

Please refer to the above guide and use the first option.

I will try to fix the issue created when VS creates the solution. Thanks for pointing it out.

@dsoltesz I see that when VS creates the solution, there are 2 .sln files.

• In the root folder -> this doesn't work.
• Inside the project folder -> this one works.

Can you please test this and let me know?

Got it. While creating a new solution, just make sure to place both the solution and projects in the same folder. I am attaching screenshots below. This should do the trick. I was able to build the project. The only minor thing I noticed is , the folder structure is lost in Visual Studio. But that's something very minor.

Do let me know if it works for you now.

That does work though we probably don't want to force people to have to click that option
