Setting viewsFolderPath has no effect

[toburger]

I want to set the Razor views path to something other than Views, but it seems that regardless of the path I am providing it always searches the default folders:

    let sp = services.BuildServiceProvider()
    let env = sp.GetService<IWebHostEnvironment>()
    let viewsFolderPath = env.WebRootPath
    services.AddRazorEngine(viewsFolderPath) |> ignore

The error message indicates that the newly registered views folder path wasn't registered:

Can you create a small repro?

Have you checked what the value is for env.WebRootPath? and in your file explorer if there is an index.cshtml file?

I've created a minimal repro based on the giraffe 1.0.0 template: https://github.com/toburger/giraffe-razor-custom-view-folder
