Dotnet Core 2.0 Web App Publish to Azure Fails

Question

From VS 2017 what I tried:

1. Build in release mode & debug mode both builds fine.
2. Set Build verbosity to Diagnostic, there is not much information indicating code error.

However .tmp dump file indicates some error. I suspect these are visual studio internal errors:

5/4/2018 9:34:44 PM
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Exception: Publish failed due to build errors. Check the error list for more details.

Answer 1

Setting RazorCompileOnBuild property to true should resolve your problem.

Take a look on following question

Answer 2

Had to set build verbosity to diagnostics then found out there were some errors in un-used Razor view pages.

There must be a way to compile Razor during build time rather than when publishing.
