'Debug can't find landing page

I'm not sure what is going on with my project or VS setup.

  • Two days ago I had a simple ASP NET Core app that was working (running in debug mode) and I could break point JavaScript inside VS.
  • Yesterday I installed some SyncFusion components (Essential JS 2) on my dev system, but have not used or added any to my project at this point.
  • Today when I try to debug (with IIS Express) I get directed to a browser page.

file:///C:/%5CProgramData%5CMicrosoft%5CVisualStudio%5CEdgeAdapter%5C########/landingPage.html

######## masking actual folder

and VS raises an error dialog

enter image description here

The attempted landing page does exist at

"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\EdgeAdapter\########\landingPage.html"

The project properties Debug settings seem to be correct

Q: What other areas in VS 2019 should I be looking for correction or settings change ?



Solution 1:[1]

I'm experiencing the same on a project that worked fine yesterday, all I did was add the Core tools so I could do Migrations, those work fine but now I'm getting the same when trying to debug the solution.

what I did notice is while that error box is open I could put the Correct url into a browser session and the app worked fine, only no debugging. Naturally when I clicked the OK button VS shut down the session
