Hi @OdeToCode ,
Did you encounter a bug with the FeaturesFolder with .Net Core 2.0 Preview 1? I was working without issues on .Net Core 1.1 with your routine and the views were properly discovered, but now starting with an empty template in preview 1 and adding a home/index view with a controller and attribute routing and a shared layout view gets the latter not displayed by a browser. The only way to have it read is to invoke Layout = "_Layout"; directly from Home Index view.
