I am not successful in adding ef core migrations in a separate project. I have provided the project structure at the end.
The DbContext class and the migrations are in separate projects such that the former is a class library and the migrations project is a console application. I added a reference to the DbContext project in the migrations project however, I am getting errors while running migration commands
\EF.BlogsDb.Migrations > dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate –project EF.BlogsDb.Migrations.csproj
No DbContext was found in assembly 'EF.BlogsDb.Migrations'. Ensure that you're using the correct assembly and that the type is neither abstract nor generic.
I followed advise from this link but I am not sure of the following.
In which project should i add these lines? is it the migrations project or my web project or the DbContext project?
options.UseSqlServer(
connectionString,
x => x.MigrationsAssembly("MyApp.Migrations"));
Why should i Add a reference to the migrations assembly from the startup assembly?
From which location/folder/project should i run this command?
dotnet ef migrations add NewMigration --project MyApp.Migrations
I can share the source code if you can tell me how to do that.
Thanks in advance for the clarifications one might provide!
Here is my project structure looks like:
