DotNetCore Authorization Policy not being picked up in debug mode

Question

I have an auth policy configured in startup.cs

services.AddAuthorization(auth =>
        {
            auth.AddPolicy("Bearer", policy => policy
                .AddAuthenticationSchemes(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme‌​)
                .RequireAuthenticatedUser().Build());

        });

and I am using this in an attribute on an api controller:

[Authorize("Bearer")]

When I run the debugger in VS code, I get an exception : fail: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel[13] Connection id "0HL14EICAK26S": An unhandled exception was thrown by the application. System.InvalidOperationException: The AuthorizationPolicy named: 'Bearer' was not found. at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization.AuthorizationPolicy.<CombineAsync>d__9.MoveNext()

When I run the program via dotnet run, I don't get this exception and it's able to pick up on the authorization attribute.

Why is this happening?

Cleaned, restored and rebuilt the project ... and it magically worked again....
