c# - EFCore Not recognizing Database Provider

I have a .Net Core WebApplication Project in which the Context Class is in a Class Library. If I hard code the connection string in the OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder) method I can generate migrations. Since it is better to let dependency injection manage the context I would like to add this to the Startup Class. However when I do I get the following error:

No database provider has been configured for this DbContext. A provider can be configured by overriding the DbContext.OnConfiguring method or by using AddDbContext on the application service provider. If AddDbContext is used, then also ensure that your DbContext type accepts a DbContextOptions object in its constructor and passes it to the base constructor for DbContext.

DbContext Class:

public class CustomerManagerContext : IdentityDbContext<User, Role, long, UserClaim, UserRole, UserLogin, RoleClaim, UserToken>
{
    public CustomerManagerContext() { }
    public CustomerManagerContext(DbContextOptions<CustomerManagerContext> options) : base(options)
    {
    }

    //protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
    //{
    //    base.OnConfiguring(optionsBuilder);
    //    optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer("SecretConnectionString");
    //}


    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(builder);

        builder.Entity<User>().ToTable("Users");
        builder.Entity<Role>().ToTable("Roles");
        builder.Entity<UserClaim>().ToTable("UserClaims");
        builder.Entity<UserRole>().ToTable("UserRoles");
        builder.Entity<UserLogin>().ToTable("UserLogins");
        builder.Entity<RoleClaim>().ToTable("RoleClaims");
        builder.Entity<UserToken>().ToTable("UserTokens");

    }
}

Startup Class - ConfigureServices Method

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddDbContext<CustomerManagerContext>(options =>
        options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"))
    );

    services.AddEntityFrameworkSqlServer()
        .AddDbContext<CustomerManagerContext>(options =>
            options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

    services.AddIdentity<User, Role>()
        .AddEntityFrameworkStores<CustomerManagerContext>()
        .AddDefaultTokenProviders();
}

This bit me hard, getting errors like:

  • No database provider has been configured for this DbContext.
  • No design-time services were found.
  • The server was not found or was not accessible.

But I ended up with a fairly simple solution/work-around:

  • Set the default startup-project in your solution (or in your command line)
  • in your Startup.cs add the migration-project:

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        var myDbContextAssemblyName = typeof(MyDbContext).Assembly.GetName().Name;
        var connectionString = Configuration.GetConnectionString(MyDbContext.ConnectionStringName);
        services.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(
            connectionString,
            x => x.MigrationsAssembly(myDbContextAssemblyName)));
            // do more ...
        }
    
  • in your connection-string use the IP-address and port-number (inspired by this corefx issue), instead of the server-name/dns (FWIW: query to get IP). So now I have this in my appsettings.Development.json:

    "ConnectionStrings": { "MyConnectionStringName": "Data Source=10.1.2.3,1433; Initial Catalog=MyCatalog; Integrated Security=SSPI" }

TLDR: other suggestions

I found a lot of other suggestions, and I will mention a few that seemed interesting. Maybe it will help someone else:

Project-names in command-line

Mention startup-project and migration-project in command-line:

Update-Database -Verbose -Project x.Data -StartupProject x.Web

Migrate from code

One can also call migrations at StartUp , "for apps with a local database". (I guess otherwise running on multiple nodes, may start multiple runtime migrations at the same time with concurrency issues?)

myDbContext.Database.Migrate();

Set DbContext in Main.cs

This EntityFrameworkCore issue states:

The problem is that when EF calls either CreateWebHostBuilder or BuildWebHost it does so without running Main. (This is intentional because EF needs to build the model and use the DbContext without starting the application.) This means that when EF invokes on of these methods the static IConfiguration property is still null--since it is only set in Main. So, you'll need to either make sure that IConfiguration is set/handled when EF calls one of these methods, or use IDesignTimeDbContextFactory.

This is not necessary for me, I guess because .Net Core 2 loads the configuration behind the scenes.

Use IDesignTimeDbContextFactory with environment variable

This EntityFrameworkCore issue states:

The typical way to do this is to read a file, an environment variable, or similar inside IDesignTimeDbContextFactory.

This seems too much a hack to me.

DbContext-creation at design time

Microsoft documentation mentions:

Some of the EF Core Tools commands (for example, the Migrations commands) require a derived DbContext instance to be created at design time in order to gather details about the application's entity types and how they map to a database schema.

They mention these ways to provide this design time DbContext:

  • from application services: for an ASP.NET Core app as startup project:

    The tools try to obtain the DbContext object from the application's service provider. [...] The tools first try to obtain the service provider by invoking Program.BuildWebHost() [JP: or CreateWebHostBuilder] and accessing the IWebHost.Services property. The DbContext itself and any dependencies in its constructor need to be registered as services in the application's service provider. This can be easily achieved by having a constructor on the DbContext that takes an instance of DbContextOptions<TContext> as an argument and using the AddDbContext<TContext> method.

  • Using a constructor with no parameters

    If the DbContext can't be obtained from the application service provider, the tools look for the derived DbContext type inside the project. Then they try to create an instance using a constructor with no parameters. This can be the default constructor if the DbContext is configured using the OnConfiguring method.

  • From a design-time factory

    You can also tell the tools how to create your DbContext by implementing the IDesignTimeDbContextFactory<TContext> interface: If a class implementing this interface is found in either the same project as the derived DbContext or in the application's startup project, the tools bypass the other ways of creating the DbContext and use the design-time factory.
