Description
dotnet ef migrations fail when using custom output paths and separate project/startup-projects
Hi folks,
I'm trying to get my projects setup in docker and I'm running into this error:
error MSB4057: The target "GetEFProjectMetadata" does not exist in the project.
I used Brice's suggestion here #23691 (comment) and it works but only when everything is in a single project.
Other issues that are similar but I'm either missing a step or this is broken.
#23691
#12220
Example repo
I have a repo with 4 scenarios here: https://github.com/chris-garrett/EfTools. I removed docker for the time being since this is reproducible without it.
- d180df5 Everything in one project with no modifications to output paths: Works
- 7f0c9b3 Everything in one project with modifications to output paths ([obj|bin]/containers): Works
- 1fb088e Separate projects for contexts / migration tool with no modifications to output paths: Works
- 5c264bc Separate projects for contexts / migration tool with modifications to output paths ([obj|bin]/containers): Does not work
Steps
# nuke any bin/obj folders
$ ./tools-nuke.sh
# create the migration
$ ./tool-create-migration.sh InitialMigration
# run the migration and verify its working
$ ./tool-migrate.sh
Verbose output
$ ./tool-create-migration.sh InitialMigration
