Entity framework migration not detecting any changes

asp.net-mvc c# entity-framework migration

Question

I was running successfully Entity framework 6.0.0-alpha3 until today. Today I decided to update to Entity framework 6.0.0-rc1, and as specified here in order to run my migrations I need to remove all the previous migrations made by ef alpha1-alpha3 and remake them.

Since all my migrations were made by alpha3, I decided to drop all the migrations (including _MigrationHistory table), and re-enable it.

I created initial migration with add-migration Initial -IgnoreChanges (which has empty Up() and Down() methods), then I executed update-database, and I thought, that everything is okay. Well, its not. When I am adding new class to my model, add-migration first creates migration with empty Up() and Down() methods.

Also, previously, when I wanted to access object that wasn't yet registered with migrations, I was receiving an error saying that I need to update my migrations. Now, when I try to access the new object, it simply says "Invalid object name 'dbo.Notifications'.".

What do I do now?

EF uses a snapshot of the database model (which is saved along with the migration) to determine changes between current version of your database model and the last migration.

add-migration Initial -IgnoreChanges command creates a migration with the snapshot of your database model, but it ignores any changes from previous database snapshot (i.e. empty database) because you are telling to do so.

add-migration First command looks at previous migration (i.e. Initial) and compares the current database model snapshot with the snapshot form the Initial migration. Obviously these snapshots are the same, so Up() and Down() methods are empty.

I think the solution for your problem is to generate all changes in the Initial migration

add-migration Initial

EF Data migrations won't detect changes when adding new migration

oops. In my case I was adding a new root entity not referenced by any other entity. The result was simply that code first had no reason to generate a migration for the entity. Once I added the code into the DbContext (a dbset) it worked like a charm.

You are using wrong generator. Those methods are only generated by ...EntityObject... based generator (the one which is deprecated).

entity framework SaveChanges conflicting changes to the role of the relationship have been detected

The problem is caused by the fact that you have 2 conflicting changes to the same entity in the context at the same time, so it cannot track these changes. However there is no point in ever making both changes so simply do the following:...public void SomeMethod(int orderId) { using (var db = new MyDbContext()) { var order = db.Orders.F...
