DNX Web command throwing 'unable to resolve project' error after publishing from VS2015


For ASP.NET Core projects, instead of running from the solution directory, you should go down a few folders further.

So for me, for example, I find that if I am at the solution directory I get the same error as you.

/home/myname/AspNetWebApplication <-- solution root folder

versus

/home/myname/AspNetWebApplication/src/AspNetWebApplication <-- project root folder

For me however there are still more things wrong on my setup, as I get "Error unable to load application or execute command".

In early betas and RC1, dnx web or dnx kestrel is the command to run, and that the dot you're typing in between is not needed in my case. In 1.0 rtm it's dotnet run to run from the project source directory and dotnet <yourassemblynamehere>.dll to run your binary, replace with the name of YOUR main binary assembly.

It is good to check that the tool (dnx or dotnet) is in the path, and that my environment is installed as per the ASP.NET Core installation instructions.


various dnx commands appear to only operate in the "expected" folder within your application. For example with SQL scaffolding, it has to be directly in the models folder, otherwise there are issues.
