Razor is not affected by the _ViewStart file about giraffe

[nojaf]

What version are you on? I believe Giraffe used to use RazorLight instead of AspNetCoreMvc. So maybe you are using an older version of Giraffe and RazorLight doesn't use the concept of a ViewStart file.

Not sure though.

I am using Giraffe 0.1.0-alpha025 and Giraffe.Razor 0.1.0-alpha001 which should be the latest version for both.

I'm able to reproduce this, it doesn't work and there is not much to go on.
I'm guessing something is missing in the middleware but that is a wild guess.

hey thanks for reporting this. I am currently working through the changes with the task changes that have been submitted via a PR and after that I'll pick this one up next!

[vtquan]

Good to know that you'll look into it. Thanks.

I was able to use the

@renderpage("~/Views/_Header.cshtml")

Not sure if I have the wrong syntax or it is related.

I get a ""RenderPage" is out of context" error.

I would like to clarify that the

@{ Layout = "_Layout"; }

Logic does indeed work for me.

As for the

@RenderPage("~/Views/SomeHtml.cshtml")

code, after reading the ASP.NET Core Razor docs I think I'm just using system incorrectly.

[nojaf]

@EricDw did you place the @{ Layout = "_Layout"; } inside the _ViewStart.cshtml file or in the view itself?

[EricDw]

@nojaf @{ Layout = "_Layout"; } is in the view itself. I am pretty sure that ASP.NET Core no longer uses @RenderPage instead I am using @{ await Html.RenderPartialAsync("_Header"); }
inside the _Layout.cshtml and it that does the job.

[nojaf]

Ok but I believe the original issue that @vtquan has is that setting the Layout from _ViewStart.cshtml doesn't work.
If he has a hundred views then setting the Layout from the view isn't really an option.

[vtquan]

@nojaf Yes, that is my issue.

This is fixed by changing the isMainPage parameter to true in the call to IRazorViewEngine.FindView, I have opened a pull request with test and fix at #92 :)

[dustinmoris]

Thanks for the fix. I just released it with the newest NuGet package: Giraffe.Razor 0.1.0-beta-002!
