Umbraco: "System.InvalidOperationException: The view found at '~/Views/Homepage.cshtml' was not created."

Question

This is my first post in this stackoverflow. I hope to do it correctly.

I spend hours look for a solution without results. I'm using Umbraco version 7.5.7 assembly: 1.0.6219.11990

I use Visual Studio Express 2015 For Web, if I run the project with debugger (f5), I have no problem and my developed site works perfectly. If I run the project without debugger (ctrl+f5) nothing works

run with or without debugger buttons

This is the exception thrown:

System.InvalidOperationException: The view found at '~/Views/Homepage.cshtml' was not created.

I had the same issue in all pages that I create but I'm able to enter in Umbraco settings pages correctly in any mode.

Any ideas?

[EDIT] Included code of master (layout) and homepage but I have the same problem in all pages

Here's the "master" code:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@using Umbraco.RelationEditor.Extensions;
@using Comp.Umb.Lisa.Models;
@using Comp.Umb.Lisa
@{
    Layout = null;
}

@Html.Partial(LisaContansts.Partials.MetaData)

In general it is a good idea to include some lines of source code from your cshtml file. The information you provided is not really helpful for others to solve your problem. — bkausbk
thanks for reply, I added the code, I'm sorry for not properly correct post — Davide Borghi

I encountered the same issue, what fixed it for me was editing the web.config and finding this value:

Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.ModelsMode

Changing it to Dll or LiveAppData instead of the default PureLive fixes it.

You can also set Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.Enable to false if you're not using the models builder functionality.
