ASP.NET fails to generate CSS files in Electronize /watch mode

[pawl0wski]

• Version: Electronize: 23.6.2, .NET Core 8.0, Node.js v21.7.3

• Target: linux

When I use /watch, ASP.NET doesn't generate CSS files from *.razor.css files. This also happens when I don't use /watch, but it's occasional.

During a regular electronize start, it seems to happen very randomly. Sometimes when I add a random line of code, it suddenly fixes itself.

First scenario. When i use electronize start /watch

Second scenario. When i create new / move razor file.

It's very difficult to reproduce this on a new project because it happens 'randomly'. I've simulated how it looks in my main project. Basically, ASP.NET seems to not recognize the .css file when I run electronize start. However, if I open the project using dotnet run, the CSS is loaded.

If I gather more information about the second issue, I will edit it immediately.

Steps to Reproduce first scenario:

1. Create new Blazor project dotnet new blazor
2. Electronize it
3. Run electronize start /watch
