    .net core razor compilation and umbraco forms themes

    Hi – as part of our devops process and Umbraco runtime mode configuration for production https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/setup/server-setup/runtime-modes , we have razor compilation turned on (RazorCompileOnPublish). (this is in umbraco 10 / net core)

    However, we also use Umbraco Forms themes https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-forms/developer/themes/ and have a custom view file in “Views\Partials\Forms\Themes\our-theme-name\Fieldtypes”.

    As that file doesn’t exist in our net publish folder (it’s a razor file so its getting compiled into an assembly), Umbraco Forms can’t find it on disc so it isn’t being applied/used.

    How are people working around this? My first thought was to have our theme views in a different folder from Views and then copy them into views folder as part of our publishing process (CICD). Is there a better/preferred way?

    Thanks

    Hi Andrew,

    Do you have this on your csproj file of your web project

       <PropertyGroup>
    <!-- Razor files are needed for the backoffice to work correctly -->
    <CopyRazorGenerateFilesToPublishDirectory>true</CopyRazorGenerateFilesToPublishDirectory>
  </PropertyGroup>

    We also compile our razor views, but are not facing the issue you are describing.

    Dave
