Can you cast a cantrip and attack with a weapon?

You make a single attack with a melee weapon as part of casting those cantrips. They are not part of an attack, the attack is part of them. The extra Attack feature lets you make a second attack as part of the attack action. These are two separate actions, and do not overlap.
