ViewComponents in Areas

I may be wrong (I can't find any documentation on how to do this any other way). When you create the ViewComponent in scope, the search paths are wrong:

namespace HelloWorld
{
    [Area("Test")]
    public class HelloViewComponent : ViewComponent
    {
        public IViewComponentResult Invoke()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

The /Areas/Test/Views/Components/Hello/Default.cshtml

following exception was thrown instead of searching the view :

InvalidOperationException: The view 'Components/Hello/Default' was not found. The following locations were searched:
/Views/Home/Components/Hello/Default.cshtml
/Views/Shared/Components/Hello/Default.cshtml.

      

        
        
        
      

    

I am invoking the view by doing the following: (c /Views/Home/Index.cshtml

)

@Component.Invoke("Hello")

      

        
        
        
      

    

There seems to be no way to include an area to call the view.

Any ideas as to the correct way to call the ViewComponent from within the District or if this is not correct and I am making a mistake.
