Blazor WASM Does not serve linked files

[MarioGK]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

Files linked are not served when you run the project locally

    <ItemGroup>
        <None Include="..\cv.Common\Data\**\*">
            <Link>wwwroot\Data\%(RecursiveDir)/%(FileName)%(Extension)</Link>
            <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
        </None>
    </ItemGroup>

When i try to access any file inside the Data folder it returns a 404 error, if i access a file that is not linked like app.css it works correctly.

Expected Behavior

It is supposed to serve static files when they are on the publish|bin output even if they are linked or normal files

Steps To Reproduce

Just create a sample Blazor project, try to link any file like this

    <ItemGroup>
        <None Include="..\cv.Common\Data\**\*">
            <Link>wwwroot\Data\%(RecursiveDir)/%(FileName)%(Extension)</Link>
            <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
        </None>
    </ItemGroup>

and try to access it http://localhost:5000/filename.txt

Exceptions (if any)

No response

.NET Version

7.0.100-preview.7.22377.5

Anything else?

Tried running it on Visual Studio,Rider and dotnet watch, all of them have the same behaviour

@MarioGK thanks for contacting us.

This is not a feature we have ever supported. Any static file you want served, needs to use Content and even then I do not think we support Link
