EF Commands

[dneimke]

is it possible to run EF Commands again ? e.g. is there a dotnet CLI version of the EF commands that we can run?

[gdoron]

#4406

They should be usable (but not throughly tested) now. Add the following to your project.json

{
  "tools": {
    "dotnet-ef": "1.0.0-*"
  }
}

Then restore, build, and use the tool just like you did dnx ef

cd src\MyProject
dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet ef dbcontext list

Closing. Use #3925 to track further progress of the .NET-Core-CLI-based commands.

Thanks!

When I run an EF command, I get No executable found matching command "dotnet-ef"

Am I missing something?

[bricelam]

Did you run dotnet restore first? Are you in the directory containing the project.json?

[capesean]

Trying it in an "empty" project I now get Failed to initialize CoreCLRm after running dotnet restore successfully.

project.json is:

{
  "compilationOptions": {
    "emitEntryPoint": true
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting": "1.0.0-*",
    "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore": "1.0.0-*",
    "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Commands": "1.0.0-*",
    "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer": "1.0.0-*",
  },
  "commands": {
      "ef": "EntityFrameworkCore.Commands"
  },
  "frameworks": {
    "net451": { }
  },
  "tools": {
    "dotnet-ef": "1.0.0-*"
  }
}

And:
