Unable to disable Url Resolution logic from _ViewImports.cshtml.

[NTaylorMullen]

If a user wants to disable URL resolution (~/) they can do:

@removeTagHelper "*, Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Razor"

If done on a single page, everything works well. However, you're unable to add this @removeTagHelper in a _ViewImports.cstml to get the same effect.

Why doesn't this work and what is the fix?

[NTaylorMullen]

It doesn't work due to the order in which we apply InheritedChunks vs DefaultInheritedChunks within the MvcRazorHost/ChunkInheritanceUtility.

There's a default @addTagHelper "*, Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Razor" applied to every page; if a user does the corresponding @removeTagHelper in a _ViewImport.cshtml the @removeTagHelper is run before the @addTagHelper due to the order of our chunk merging. Therefore, nothing gets removed.

How do we fix it?

[NTaylorMullen]

@DamianEdwards Change the order in which we apply default chunks and inherited chunks. It's a relatively easy change.

Ok cool. Let's fix it in beta8
