New project for ASP.NET MVC 3 Beta not including unobstrusive validation Javascript files

Question

My problem today is rather simple, but its driving me nuts!

I just downloaded and installed the ASP.NET MVC 3 Beta and created a new project using VS 2010. But when I check the scripts folder, there are none of the following files there! (from what I understood, they should be there):

· /Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js
· /Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js
· /Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js
· /Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js

Anyone could tell me what is going on?

Thanks

Answer 1

The MVC 3 templates should include those files. A couple of suggestions:

1. Are you sure you are using the MVC 3 project template (and not the MVC 2 project template)? I know it's obvious, but asking just in case.
2. Try shutting down Visual Studio and running devenv.exe /InstallVsTemplates from a Visual Studio command prompt. This command recreates VS's project template cache.

Let me know if these don't work.
