ASP.NET Core EF Add-Migration command not working
C#Visual Studio-2015asp.net CoreEntity Framework-CoreC# Problem Overview
Following this Microsoft Tutorial when I run the PM> Add-Migration MyFirstMigration
command in VS2015 project created from the same tutorial I get the following error that I can't resolve:
> More than one DbContext was found. Specify which one to use.
> Use the '-Context' parameter for PowerShell commands and the
> '--context' parameter for dotnet commands.
Point to note
- I'm using the above tutorial with the exception that I'm using
Individual User Account
authentication instead ofNo Authentication
used in the tutorial. - I've latest release of
ASP.NeT Core 1.0 and VS2015-Update 3 on windows 8.1
- This is a freshly created project. No other DbContext was manually installed
C# Solutions
Solution 1 - C#
Running the following command (obtained from this article) and a response from @Maverik (from StackOverflow here) and a suggestion from @doctor above helped me resolved the issue. Thank you all for your help:
PM> Add-Migration MyFirstMigration -Context BloggingContext
Solution 2 - C#
The error clearly explains to mention --context with db Context name if more than one DbContext. So try by mentioning your DbContext name.
dotnet ef migrations add Initial --context SampleDbContext
Hope this helps.
Solution 3 - C#
If you need only update a identity schema existent, try it:
update-database -Context ApplicationDbContext
ApplicationDbContext = your identity context
Solution 4 - C#
that because you have two DbContext in your solution. First is default created when you creating project(ApplicationDbContext) and second your EF DbContext. Solution is described in error message just specify your EF DbContext
Solution 5 - C#
Add-Migration MyFirstMigration -Context DbContextName
It does work in my project.
Solution 6 - C#
Use below to commands:
> PM> Add-Migration MyFirstMigration -Context YourDbContext > > PM> update-database -Context YourDbContext
Solution 7 - C#
[--context]
> The DbContext class to use. Class name only or fully qualified with > namespaces. If this option is omitted, EF Core will find the context > class. If there are multiple context classes, this option is required.
Add-Migration MyMigration -context DataContextName
