ASP .NET 8 RC1 Routing & UseStaticFiles

[Github-Butler]

breaking change from preview 7 to RC1:
using the page Weather.razor with route wildcard @page "/{weather?}" worked perfectly and the static file /bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css was delivered as expected.
After upgrade to RC1 the static file route /bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css was ignored.

I'm seeing same issue going from Preview 7 to RC 1 with no other code changes.

My controller route with this pattern now catches requests for physical files that I'm certain are in the wwwroot folder.

app.MapControllerRoute(
    name: "files",
    pattern: "{**path}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Content", action = "Files" });

This seems to be caused by the global implicit router running before the static files middlware.

@captainsafia you did fix something in this area recently, didn't you?

Yes, this issue was resolved in #50864. You can try the .NET 8 nightlies in github.com/dotnet/installers to see if that resolves the issue for your scenarios.
