_Layout file for Identity not scaffolded

[blowdart]

From @josejmoran on September 16, 2018 23:7

When I scaffold the UI for Identity everything works fine. But the file: Areas/Identity/Pages/Account/Manage/_Layout.cshtml include a line referencing a file that I look for it in the directory it says it should be but is not generated when I scaffold.

@{
Layout = "/Areas/Identity/Pages/_Layout.cshtml";
}

If I comment the line I get an error, which means Identity is using this file. It seems it did not get generated when I scaffold the Identity files. Where is this file located?

Same issue as #1954. Still waiting for comments from the dev team.

I can confirm this on the preview 2 bits.

Just noticed this using the 2.2 release version

@blowdart It seems the best solution is to change the reference in "Areas/Identity/Pages/Account/Manage/_Layout.cshtml" to:

@{ 
    Layout = "/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

This way you only need to maintain a single layout and you also retain the links in the main app navbar when viewing the account management pages, this is what i ended up doing here: #931 (comment)

This should be the default setup provided by the scaffolder or be clearly documented somewhere. If the missing _Layout file existed it would be much easier to see that the main layout file can be substituted by simply comparing the files and observing that they are the more or less the same. Instead i had to poke around and resort to the browser dev tools to see what was going on.

@HaoK - do you know if this is already fixes?

@javiercn can you remind me again why the layouts/scaffolder are the way they are?

[javiercn]

@HaoK can you be more specific? The manage pages have a nested layout if that’s what you are referring to.

This problem was fixed. Thanks.
