Adding bootstrap in bundleconfig doesn't work in asp.net mvc

Question

I met an issue, strange in my point of view. I installed bootstrap via nuget package console. After that, in `BundleConfig.cs` file, I added two items to `bundles` list: ``` bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/bootstrap").Include( "~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js")); bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/bootstrap").Include( "~/Content/bootstrap.min.css", "~/Content/bootstrap-theme.min.css")); ``` Of course, these files exist locally. The `_Layout.cshtml` file contains ``` @ViewBag.Title @Styles.Render("~/Content/css") @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr") @Styles.Render("~/Content/bootstrap") @RenderBody() @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery") @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap") @RenderSection("scripts", required: false) ``` But when I see a view (for example login page), I see that bundle doesn't append bootstrap part. ```

Accepted Answer

When using Bundle, do not append the `.min`

```
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/bootstrap").Include(
    "~/Content/bootstrap.css", 
    "~/Content/bootstrap-theme.css"));
```

Based on the debug setting, (mostly web.config)

- `debug="true"` - the non minified version will be used.

- `debug="false"` - `*.min.css` will be searched, and if not found, the current will be minified

web.config setting:

```
<system.web>
  <compilation debug="true"...
```
