RequiresCss not working inside a @section block

[Pustur]

Hi,

I noticed that sometimes when calling Smidge.RequiresCss inside a partial that is itself called within a @section block, it won't output anything.

Here's a simplified example:

@* /Views/HeroTemplate.cshtml *@

@section hero {
    @await Html.PartialAsync("/Views/Partials/Hero.cshtml")
}

@* /Views/Partials/Hero.cshtml *@

@inherits Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Views.UmbracoViewPage
@inject Smidge.SmidgeHelper Smidge;
@{
    Smidge.RequiresCss("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/swiper@8.4.7/swiper-bundle.min.css");
    Smidge.RequiresJs("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/swiper@8.4.7/swiper-bundle.min.js");
}

@* ...My hero html code... *@

The weird thing is that Smidge.RequiresJs works fine in this scenario.

The problem seems to go away if I call the same partial outside the @section block.

For now the solution I'm using is calling Smidge directly from the HeroTemplate, but that's not ideal.

Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks in advance

EDIT:

Ok the partial has nothing to do with it. I tried to put the Smidge calls directly inside the @section block and the problem is the same. I edited the title to reflect this.
