Scaffold makes cshtml not razor

Question

I'm using the scaffold command line because of the previously reported MS bug, to make a DataGrid page, the scaffolding completes but it makes a cshtml page with an ejs_grid instead of a razor page with a DataGrid control. It seems like its getting the project type wrong, which is a Blazor server side project made with the wizard.

The command does report an exception:

Scaffolding failed with these exception:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at syncfusion_scaffolding.Model.GetEntitySet(String dbContextTypeName, String dbModelTypeName, String projectName) in D:\2\vsext_scaffolding_command_line\Model.cs:line 139

but carries on and makes the Controller and cshtml view

Hi Gary, 
  
  
We can reproduce this issue when application have Views and Controllers folder. We logged this as bug report and fixed on upcoming 2021 Essential Studio Volume 2 release. You can track this issue from below link

You can use the Syncfusion Blazor Code Generator for the workaround until we resolved.

For “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” exception, could you please clean and build the application before performing the Syncfusion Scaffolding command-line?
