MVC 4 @Scripts “does not exist”

Question

I have just created an ASP.NET MVC 4 project and used Visual Studio 2012 RC to create a Controller and Razor Views for Index and Create Actions.

Answer 1

That has an obvious solution. I had the same problem later. Not related to Assembly References or ... .It'll occur In hierarchy calling of MVC Partial views, when you have complicated page structures. So calling/rendering each part separately on each page (maybe a master page or partial) will cause to not see required parts of page like the bellow code :

@RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)

That simply forces page to find and render related section and in case of failure shows you an error message like you.

So I suggest you to trace your pages (like program trace) from master to all of its partials to Detect Dependencies. Maybe it be a terrible work, but no other choices available here.

Not that according to my experience, some conditional situations in programming causes not to show you the right error causes the problem.
