I have added the reference to my project.csproj file as indicated on S.O. and in the ms docs tutorial:
<ItemGroup>
<DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools" Version="2.0.1" />
</ItemGroup>
running dotnet restore
claims to succeed. But the dotnet aspnet-codegenerator
command can't be found and in the manage nuget packages, the CodeGeneration.Tools isn't installed and manually installing gives the error:
Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'ContosoUniversity'.
This appears to be from a version compatibility issue that I don't understand or know how to fix. I have installed in my dependencies Microsoft.NETCore.App 2.0.3
and Microsoft.NETCore.APP 2.0.3 and everything else is 2.0.1. (CodeGeneration.Design, CodeGeneration.Utils etc... and running at Package Management Console Install-Package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools
Throws the error:
GET https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration3-gz-semver2/microsoft.visualstudio.web.codegeneration.tools/index.json
OK https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration3-gz-semver2/microsoft.visualstudio.web.codegeneration.tools/index.json 166ms

Downgrading everything to 2.0.0 allows me to install CodeGeneration.Tools in Nuget but I still get the error: dotnet : No executable found matching command "dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator"
Go to "Manage Nuget Package for solution" in Nuget Package Manager and
In Package Source .
