MVC6 Can't find app.UseStaticFiles() in Startup

I am playing around the new ASPNET 5 beta using the latest version of Visual Studio Code (v0.3). I don't want to put the VS2015 RC on my work machine. I have a barebones (Hello World) MVC6 app which I've gotten running after figuring out the basics of the dn* command line tools.

Now I want to serve a static file. I've added Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles to my project.json file and restored the packages.

My project.json:

{
    "version": "1.0.0-*",
    "webroot": "wwwroot",
    "exclude": [
        "wwwroot"
    ],
    "packExclude": [
        "**.kproj",
        "**.user",
        "**.vspscc"
    ],
    "dependencies": {
        "Kestrel": "1.0.0-*",
        "Microsoft.AspNet.Diagnostics": "1.0.0-*",
        "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "6.0.0-*",
        "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.IIS": "1.0.0-*",
        "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener": "1.0.0-*",
        "Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles": "1.0.0-*"
    },
    "commands": {
        "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting --server Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener --server.urls http://localhost:8080",
        "kestrel": "Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting --server Kestrel --server.urls http://localhost:8080"
    },
    "frameworks": {
         "dnx451": { },
         "dnxcore50": { }
    }
}

My Startup.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNet.Builder;
using Microsoft.Framework.DependencyInjection;

namespace EmailViewer
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddMvc();
        }

        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
        {            
            app.UseErrorPage();
            app.UseStaticFiles(); 
            app.UseMvcWithDefaultRoute();
            app.UseWelcomePage(); 
        }
    }
}

Everything works fine until I include app.UseStaticFiles() at which point I get the following error:

I've tried using these versions:

  • 1.0.0-beta4
  • 1.0.0-beta6-12114

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

In ASP.NET MVC6 RC2, add the following line into the project.json "dependencies" section:

"Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles": "1.0.0-rc2-final"
