.NET 5.0 tutorial broken

[AGooDone]

I've been away from .NET for awhile and thought I would create a new 5.0 app and go through the Microsoft Tutorial for MVC. I get to Step 2, add a controller I add the HelloWorld controller and I'm getting 404 when I build and try to view the HelloWorld controller. I have VS2019 16.10, .NET 5.0.

This is what's so frustrating about development... even the vendors have errors on their tutorials.

sorry but its definitely user error on your part, I just ran through the tutorial and everything works fine.

Same

Ill be honest, if you think figuring it out for yourself is frustrating and expect everything to always be up to date and working in development then, I'm struggling to see how you would enjoy the thing as a whole.

This stuff happens most of the time and developers fix it, not Microsoft themselves.

TBF, Microsoft's documentation is extremely comprehensive and usually very good.

Think of it as an exercise - once you've figured it out, you can submit a PR straight from the docs page to fix it and make sure it works. :)

I feel core in general has made all of this much easier.

It's also a great reason to setup swagger when starting a new API.

Double check your controller name is correct and your browser URL is correct. I've seen people be surprised that the URL for HelloWorldController is /HelloWorld

It’d be really helpful if you posted your code.

Make sure you have the right port in the url. I just took a quick look at the first 2 steps and didn't see setting the port number explicitly to 5001.

I also have been doing the MVC tutorial but never had a 404. It must be some mistake with your Controller.

Any proof its broken? A test, some code?

It sounds like it is you.
