The name 'JavaScriptEncoder' does not exist in the current context

I'm creating a new theme and copied everything over from the default theme. I'm getting a message saying:

The name 'JavaScriptEncoder' does not exist in the current context
displayPopupNotification('@Html.Raw(JavaScriptEncoder.Default.Encode(Model.AlertMessage))', 'success', false);

I saw a similar question here: https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/55339/new-theme-error-the-name-publicwidgetzones-does-not-exist-in-the-current-context.aspx

I checked my _ViewImports.cshtml file and it already had the @using Nop.Web.Framework.Infrastructure in it. Any ideas on how to fix this? What am I missing?

Can any help ?

Add the following to your theme's _ViewImports.cshtml

@using System.Text.Encodings.Web

For Version 4.2 - The ViewIMports.cshtml file should be as follows:
