Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create asp.net MVC with auth project from yo with aspnet generator
2. Run project with dotnet run (works great, all path to jquery and stuff is correct)
3. Exit and Open it in Code
4. Run debugger, no paths to included javascript/jquery are correct

Hmmm... is this a working directory issue? cc @gregg-miskelly

@JerkerPihl this sounds like a dupe of #799. If so, this isn't a bug in the extension but rather some combination of by design/a documentation issue with the template. Either way, if this is the same issue -- run bower install to fix it.

Tried bower.. was installed but wanted to updated. Updated didnt help
Still doesnt explain if I run webbapp in shelfhosted console app, every path gets right but when I run in vscode included paths get wrong.

I had to update the cwd property in the launch.json file so my config file (/src/web/appsettings.json) could be found when debugging.

@davidsk @sayedihashimi does this sound like a bug with the 'yo aspnet' generator? Or with the default launch.json that we generate, or neither and just something that we document?

[davidsk]

The default launch.json sets the cwd to ${workspaceRoot} which I imagine is fine when running a HelloWorld console app but not when nesting your projects in folders e.g src/web. I suppose it should be documented, not sure there's anything else that can be done.

My launch.json was created by the extension, not yeoman.

[gregg-miskelly]

@davidsk In that case, I think we could fix the launch.json generation code to default cwd to the workspace-relative directory of the project. (ex: ${workspaceRoot}/src/web).

[davidsk]

If you can determine the correct path then I'm sure that'd save some confusion.
