Project build halts on: “Build delayed until Bower/npm packages finish restoring.”

Question

In VS 2017, I created a new ASP.NET Core Web Application using the Angular template.

The project however does not run, it gets stuck on:

Build delayed un         


        

Answer 1

i had a sort-a-like problem. This is what i did to solve it:

1. check the folder node_modules
2. on my pc it was empty
3. open the folder in a command prompt (with administrator privileges)
4. run "npm install", this will download all referenced node modules (see package.json) to your pc
5. then when you build in VS Studio,the bower delay is gone
