- I have searched the existing issues
Describe the bug
I have a Counter component where I would like to co-locate JavaScript.
When I add the JavaScript file (Counter.razor.js) it is not recognized as being co-located with Counter.razor.
Not working:
However, in another project I have it seems to work fine:
What makes this work, and what makes it break? I'm curious.
Expected Behavior
Visual Studio / Blazor should recognize a co-located JavaScript file if it's placed in the same directory with the same name + .js file extension.
