Why won't my ASP MVC Views build the second time round

Question

I have enabled MvcBuildViews in my project.

It works completely fine when I build.

Then if I build again/change something and try to build again, it fails when it starts to compile the views with the error:

CS0103 The name 'model' does not exist in the current context It is pointing at the first cshtml file in obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\Source\bin\Views\Shared\EditorTemplates\DateRange.cshtml

Here's that file, not that it helps:

@model MyProject.Web.Extensions.DateRange
@using Abp.Web.Mvc.Extensions

<div class="input-daterange input-group">
<input type="text" class="input-sm form-control" name="startDate" id="startDate" required="required" />
<span class="input-group-addon">～</span>
<input type="text" class="input-sm form-control" name="endDate" id="endDate" required="required"/>

I absolutely have no idea why this is happening. The only way to get this working is to delete my obj folder and rebuild.

I want it to be smart and know what it does and doesn't need to rebuild (since it takes ages).

Here is my views/Web.Config:

psss, I have tried all of the checks of versions in my web.config file as suggested in other questions. This is something wacky since it always works the first time. — Worthy7, Feb 24 '17 at 09:34
how your web.config in Views folder looks like, chances are it misses reference to the assembly — Ehsan Sajjad, Feb 24 '17 at 09:40
see here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6389055/the-name-model-does-not-exist-in-current-context-in-mvc3 — Ehsan Sajjad, Feb 24 '17 at 09:40
I read every answer there, please remember that it ALWAYS compiles the first time. — Worthy7, Feb 24 '17 at 10:10
If someone could explain in detail, or point me to an article somewhere which explains how the build process works when there are already some files in the `obj` folder, that would be a good start in the right direction. Especially regarding the `AspnetCompileMerge` folder — Worthy7, Feb 27 '17 at 00:21
@Worthy7, You are going to have to show more code. Show the view that the error message refers to. Create a new project from scratch and see if it works. Another option also is to launch VS as administrator. Could be a permissions issue. — Nkosi, Feb 27 '17 at 01:11
1) Ok Ill add more code, but really it doesn't matter what is in there as long as it seems to be ignoring the majority of razor syntax. This particular view is extremely simple. 2) I'm sure a project from scratch will work. 3) Already doing this as an Administrator (Visual Studio (Administrator)) — Worthy7, Feb 27 '17 at 02:07
Again please keep in mind that this always builds the FIRST TIME, and then after that, the AspnetCompileMerge folder exists. Until I delete that folder, the views will throw this error. So when it is doing a compile merge, is it using some different Web.Config or something? — Worthy7, Feb 27 '17 at 03:06
@Worthy7 do you think it has anything to do with your custom pageBaseType? — Nkosi, Feb 27 '17 at 03:08
@Worthy7 Also any particular reason you remove `BlockViewHandler`? — Nkosi, Feb 27 '17 at 03:12
Compare the Views/web.config of a fresh project to your Views/web.config current version. — Nkosi, Feb 27 '17 at 03:15
@Worthy7 For the particular view in example the `@using` usually tends to come before `@model`. if using `@using` they should be at the top of the file. — Nkosi, Feb 27 '17 at 03:19
@Worthy7 Is `MyProject` a place holder just for the question cause they are different cases in the view and the Web.config? I am goign under the assumption that name cases are case sensitive here. — Nkosi, Feb 27 '17 at 03:21
Let us [continue this discussion in chat](http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/136712/discussion-between-worthy7-and-nkosi). — Worthy7, Feb 27 '17 at 03:27
@Worthy7 I think this line is suspicious. You need to replace `` with this `` in `Views Web.config`. — Mairaj Ahmad, Feb 27 '17 at 04:21

So, the ACTUAL problem was in my project file I had this:

<Target Name="MvcBuildViews" AfterTargets="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(MvcBuildViews)'=='true'">
    <AspNetCompiler VirtualPath="temp" PhysicalPath="$(WebProjectOutputDir)" />
  </Target>

Deleted it, and I could recompile no problem.

Have you tried to relocate the obj folder outside from your solution? Maybe it helps.

Unload your asp.net mvc project in the solution explorer and edit the project file.

Look for BaseIntermediateOutputPath and IntermediateOutputPath entries in the csproj files, and modify them:

<BaseIntermediateOutputPath>D:\Temp\VS\Your project name\obj\</BaseIntermediateOutputPath>
<IntermediateOutputPath>$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)$(Configuration)\</IntermediateOutputPath>

The obj folder was being created in the root of the Web project. This was a setting I had in the project config along with telling it to build the views. I deleted the line and it seems to be compiling fine now.. you pointed me in the right direction as well as the other answer. – Worthy7 Mar 06 '17 at 07:54

Why won't my ASP MVC Views build the second time round
