Directory does not exist. Parameter name: directoryVirtualPath

Answer 1

I had this issue when I opened a VS2017 project in VS2015, built the solution and then uploaded the DLLs.

Rebuilding it in VS2017 and re-uploading the DLLs fixed the issue.

Answer 2

This may be an old issue.I have similar error and in my case it was Scripts folder hiding in my Models Folder. Stack trace clearly says its missing Directory and by default all Java Scripts should be in Scripts Folder. This may not be applicable to above users.

Answer 3

None of these answers helped me since I created my jsx files in a weird way. My code was working in localhost mode but failed in production.

The fix for me was to go into the csproj file and change the file paths from <None ... to <Content ...

Answer 4

I ran into the same issue today it is actually I found that some of files under ~/Scripts is not published. The issue is resolved after I published the missing files

Answer 5

I had the same issue. the problem in my case was that the script's folder with all the bootstrap/jqueries scripts was not in the wwwroot folder. once I added the script's folder to wwwroot the error went away.

Answer 6

Here's a quick class I wrote to make this easier.

using System.Web.Hosting;
using System.Web.Optimization;

// a more fault-tolerant bundle that doesn't blow up if the file isn't there
public class BundleRelaxed : Bundle
{
    public BundleRelaxed(string virtualPath)
        : base(virtualPath)
    {
    }

    public new BundleRelaxed IncludeDirectory(string directoryVirtualPath, string searchPattern, bool searchSubdirectories)
    {
        var truePath = HostingEnvironment.MapPath(directoryVirtualPath);
        if (truePath == null) return this;

        var dir = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(truePath);
        if (!dir.Exists || dir.GetFiles(searchPattern).Length < 1) return this;

        base.IncludeDirectory(directoryVirtualPath, searchPattern);
        return this;
    }

    public new BundleRelaxed IncludeDirectory(string directoryVirtualPath, string searchPattern)
    {
        return IncludeDirectory(directoryVirtualPath, searchPattern, false);
    }
}

To use it, just replace ScriptBundle with BundleRelaxed in your code, as in:

        bundles.Add(new BundleRelaxed("~/bundles/admin")
            .IncludeDirectory("~/Content/Admin", "*.js")
            .IncludeDirectory("~/Content/Admin/controllers", "*.js")
            .IncludeDirectory("~/Content/Admin/directives", "*.js")
            .IncludeDirectory("~/Content/Admin/services", "*.js")
            );
