The documentation hasn't been updated and does not work, also what is shown in the documentation is using an obsolete method, I have taken a look through the source and I can see the tests are doing the following:

services.AddUmbracoDbContext<TicketsContext>((serviceProvider, options) =>
            {
   options.UseUmbracoDatabaseProvider(serviceProvider);
});

However when I run the site I get the following error:

Unable to create a 'DbContext' of type 'TicketsContext'. The exception 'Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContextOptions`1[UmbTickets.DAL.DbContexts.Tickets.TicketsContext]' while attempting to activate 'UmbTickets.DAL.DbContexts.Tickets.TicketsContext'.' was thrown while attempting to create an instance. For the different patterns supported at design time, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=851728

But I see thats what you did exactly now that I look at it. sorry! is your context similar to this? public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions options) : base(options) { }

do you get this when you run the project? Or are you using the

dotnet ef migrations add

command? If you use the command, you should be able to specify the migrated project, like

dotnet ef migrations add --context TicketsContext --project .\path\to\your\DbContext.csproj

The donet migrations command, I'll give that ago when I next get a chance 👍 Thanks!

Can you share your TicketContext class?

When I'm doing these migrations, I need to be in the web application library when I execute the command. For a project with the structure:

-> \MyUmbracoSln
------> \MyUmbracoSln.Umbraco.Site    // contains the front-end
------> \MyUmbracoSln.Umbraco.Core
------> \MyUmbracoSln.Database        // contains the EF Contexts

My steps go:

cd .\MyUmbracoSln.Umbraco.Site

Then :

dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate --context MyEntityContext -o .\Generated\ --project ..\MyUmbracoSln.Database\MyUmbracoSln.Database.csproj

You can do it from the ef core project as well, and then add a

-s

option with a path to the website project instead

that's neat, I didn't know about the

-s

option
