Publishing a .NET Core Blazor Web Assembly Client-Server Project

When developing a Blazor Client Server Web Assembly project, you might venture down the development road only to find that upon publishing, not all your components, particularly the .razor pages, are available in your published directory. This can present a challenge, especially when you wish to make frequent page-level updates in the future. If you’re facing a similar issue, you’re not alone. Let's delve into how to solve this problem effectively.

The Problem

After building your Blazor application using .NET Core and pushing the published files to the server, you might realize that:

Components from your server project are missing.

There are no pages in the published directory from your web assembly client project.

This raises the question: How can you ensure that all your components and pages are included when you publish your application?

The Solution

After investigating the issue, it appears that the problem may not lie within your solution file itself, but rather in the configurations of your .csproj files. By following the steps below, you can adjust your project settings to ensure that all necessary files are included in your publish directory.

Step 1: Modify Your server.csproj File

Open your server.csproj file in a text editor or your integrated development environment (IDE).

Add the following Target settings to copy the components and pages during the publishing process:

Step 2: Explanation of Key Settings

Target Name: Here, we are defining two targets, CopyComponents and CopyPages, which are triggered before the publish process begins.

ItemGroup: This organizes the files you want to include in the publish.

MyFiles: This references the Components folder where your Blazor components are located.

MyFiles2: This references the Pages folder in your web assembly client project (e.g., BlazorApp28.Client).

$(PublishDir): This variable points to the directory where your application is being published.

Step 3: Reference the Client Project

Make sure that you correctly reference the client project path (..\BlazorApp28.Client) relative to your server project’s location. This ensures that all necessary page files from the client project are included during the publish process.

Conclusion

By making these simple configuration changes in your .csproj file, you can guarantee that all Blazor components and pages are included in your published directory. This will not only aid you in maintaining your application but also allow for seamless updates as your web application evolves.

Final Thoughts

Publishing a Blazor project doesn't have to be a daunting task. Following the correct steps and utilizing the right settings will ensure a smooth workflow. If you continue to encounter issues, consider revisiting your project structure or double-checking your references. Happy coding!
