Where is manifest && works with controllers/views but not static content - CSS

[DominikAmon]

I could get the example working with Controllers and Views, but not with static content, such as CSS. It would be great to improve the existing sample code on github with static content exmaples.
Regarding: "When the RCL is built, a manifest is produced that describes the static web asset locations." - How can I verify this / Where to find it?

I posted already a message on Stackoverflow:
404 with static content in Razor Class Library (RCL) - StackOverflow

@DominikAmon can you create the simplest possible solution (RCL + consuming app) that demonstrates this problem? Post the GitHub link here.

Did you follow Create an RCL with static assets?

"When the RCL is built, a manifest is produced that describes the static web asset locations."

@pranavkm how do we access the manifest?

It's an implementation detail so I wouldn't necessarily rely on using it in any way outside of what the framework does. But if you'd like to inspect it's contents, it's an xml default that's produced in the obj\Debug\netstandard2.1\staticwebassets directory.

@Rick-Anderson I created a small sample app and published it on GitHub https://github.com/DominikAmon/RclIssueDemo/

I clearly made something wrong, but it is hard to figure out, as I am not getting any details other than 404.

Did you look in the manifest?

[Rick-Anderson]

I placed a css file in the library at the following location: wwwroot\css\Base.css and I tested the following path: https://localhost:44300/_content/OurIt.Cockpit/css/Base.css,

That's not the right URL.

Create a web app, put a static resource in wwwroot, and access it.

The views are pulling static assets. You're just using the wrong path.
