Yesterday I was debugging a standard .Net MVC web application using Visual Studio 2019. I have some javascript behind the view to asynchronously load some dropdown menus using jquery. The view was basically complete and working but needed a small correction. After correcting a typo I relaunched the view in chrome and it failed to load at all. The debugging console in chrome showed I had an include as the first line of my js file. It was the line;
Include { encode } from punycode
I did not put this in my code. I have never used punycode and do not have it on my machine. Where did this come from? Did VS2019 put it there as part of debugging? Did Chrome?
I am starting to feel paranoid about this appearing for no reason that I can find.
