After a fruitless google search I searched dotnet docs for _framework and found only two hits, both kind of useless. I also tried C:\Program Files\dotnet>dir _framework /a:d /s which was also ineffective as nothing matches.

Describe the new article

dotnet watch works by injecting scripts with /_framework. This doesn't work properly when using a custom static file provider. (Which we use because of a different bug.) We can easily detect when we are running under debug environment and should resolve /_framework paths but no idea how to provide the files.

I suspect it's serving files out of C:\Program Files\dotnet but I have no idea how to find them.

Document outline probably works as follows:

When using a custom static file provider, dotnet watch doesn't work.

_framework should resolve to this (fill in) directory within dotnet shared runtime whenever the environment variable __ASPNETCORE_BROWSER_TOOLS is set.

To locate this directory on Windows, ...

To locate this directory on Mac OSX, ...

To locate this directory on Linux ...

Seems pretty short.
