I want to programatically create and save a new Template using an existing .cshtml file. When I call

var template = new Template(path, name, alias);
_fileService.SaveTemplate(template);

the template is added to Umbraco, but the content of the template is missing!

A workaround that I can use is to copy the contents of the file before creating the template and then set it using the Content property:

var absPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Path.Combine("~", "Views", path));
var content = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(absPath);
var template = new Template(path, name, alias) { Content = content };

But ideally I don't want to do that!

Any ideas?
