Description

The project was created following the instructions in the "Mastering ABP Framework" book.

The solution is created using: abp new ProductManagement

After defining the entities, the Web project is set as the startup project and in the PM Console, the EntityFrameworkCore project is set as default. On running the Add-Migration command, the error displayed is: Your startup project 'ProductManagement.DbMigrator' doesn't reference Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design. This package is required for the Entity Framework Core Tools to work. Ensure your startup project is correct, install the package, and try again.

There was a similar bug reported but the issue was closed without a satisfactory resolution: https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/16785

Reproduction Steps

Follow instruction in Chapter 3 of the "Mastering ABP Framework" book up to page 38. On Page 38, the command Add-Migration "Added_Categories_And_Products" throws the error.

hi

You can run dotnet ef migrations add MyName command under the EntityFrameworkCore project.

Hi, I have the same Issue, tried with Add-Migration and with dotnet ef migrations add NameMigration under EntityFrameworkCore project and is not working.

hi @benrivero

You can try to use dotnet-ef instead of Add-Migration
