Finding the generator 'identity'... The given assembly name or codebase was invalid

My App builds and runs just fine. But when I try to run dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity --useDefaultUI, it errors:

Building project ...

Finding the generator 'identity'...

The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)

This solved my issue: https://github.com/aspnet/Scaffolding/issues/586

In short: I had to remove this from my .csproj file:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration" Version="1.1.1" />
