Why a .NET Core application can't be found
If you're using the application finder tool on your cloud server and no applications are being found, there may be several reasons for this:
Some common reasons include:
- There are no .NET Core applications in your web space. If you haven't uploaded your project yet, please do so and then select Discover applications.
- Your .NET Core applications are not in the expected directory structure. Ensure that your applications are properly deployed, and there is a *.deps.json file present within the expected directory path. The platform only checks that exact directory and does not search recursively through its subdirectories.
To rediscover an application, or discover a new application on a package where an application previously was hosted, you must first remove the existing application and then reupload the application before attempting to discover the application once more. This should only be necessary if there are changes to the file name or path, which may be done if the application has moved to another directory.
