I'm using a devexpress reporting widget that requires node_modules folder, the folder is not visible on my solution explorer until I click on "Show all files"... the issue is when I published initially I got an error of the node_modules directory not found, and when I contacted devexpress support, I was asked to right click on node_modules folder and click "Publish node_modules" to fix that error but when I do so I get this error:
Preparing to publish files...
Connecting to bin\Release\PublishOutput...
Unable to open the Web site 'bin/Release/PublishOutput'. The Web site 'bin/Release/PublishOutput' does not exist.
Unable to open the Web site 'bin/Release/PublishOutput'. The Web site 'bin/Release/PublishOutput' does not exist.
I do not know anything about node_modules other than I need for my reports to display. Any help/explanation would be appreciated. By the way my project is an Asp.Net Core web app.
