You need .NET SDK 2.1

[Languafe]

I forgot to add the DotNetCliToolReference element to csproj.

No executable found matching command "dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator" I got this error !!

[Rick-Anderson]

Install the latest version of the .NET Core SDK But not the preview version.
It's no longer a <DotNetCliToolReference/> element.
It's a global tool.

@bricelam is MacOS the only platform you need to explicitly dotnet tool install --global dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator

[bricelam]

No idea. The aspnet/Scaffolding folks own that tool.

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator works also on Windows for me! Could'nt install it via nuget neither by adding an item group to the .csproj file.

Thanks @Rick-Anderson

I was able to reproduce the same issue on Linux/VSCode and Linux/dotnet CLI. My current setup gives pretty confusing results:

dot_sent@sergey-pc:~/Projects/MVCTest/MvcIdentity$ dotnet tool install --global dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator
Tool 'dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator' is already installed.
dot_sent@sergey-pc:~/Projects/MVCTest/MvcIdentity$ dotnet aspnet-codegenerator --help
No executable found matching command "dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator"

dotnet --info output, in case it helps:

dot_sent@sergey-pc:~/Projects/MVCTest/MvcIdentity$ dotnet --info

@dot-sent can you open an issue at https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/new

[Rick-Anderson]

@dot-sent install the latest SDK first, 2.2

[dot-sent]

@Rick-Anderson Done, still the same problem. Tried also uninstalling 2.0 and 2.1, reinstalling the aspnet-codegenerator - all to no avail. Finally installing it in a specific directory and running it via absolute path worked well. I guess some paths were not registering properly. Should I still open the issue on dotnet-cli?

[Rick-Anderson]

dotnet --version
2.2.103

[BlackBoxRecorder]

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator

~/.dotnet/tools/dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator -h

[JwanKhalaf]

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator worked on Ubuntu too.

[marciocleberbrazil]

@JwanKhalaf It worked for me on Windows 10. Thanks a lot!

[rlassche]

I just typed:
~/.dotnet/tools/dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator razorpage -m Movie -dc RazorPagesMovieContext -udl -outDir Pages/Movies --referenceScriptLibraries

So, I did not start with 'dotnet'.

[RockmanR]

I just typed:
~/.dotnet/tools/dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator razorpage -m Movie -dc RazorPagesMovieContext -udl -outDir Pages/Movies --referenceScriptLibraries

So, I did not start with 'dotnet'.

Alright, thanks @rlassche that worked for me. I have no clue why this solves it. can someone explains this issue?

[rlassche]

I checked this issue again. This looks better:

1. My PATH on Linux was not correct.
   export PATH=~/.dotnet/tools:$PATH
2. The command in tools directory is called dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator and exists now in the PATH.
3. Test it with dotnet now:
   $ dotnet aspnet-codegenerator
   The help-text is displayed.
