Tools greyed out since Rider update

[jerome-poenisch]

Describe the bug

Seemingly since one of the latest Rider versions (currently using JetBrains Rider 2022.3.3) the tools are always greyed out for me even in projects where I happily used them previously.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a project using EntityFrameWork ore
2. Open context menu
3. Go to Tools
4. Go to Entity framework Core ->
5. observe: Greyed out

Expected behavior

The tools should not be greyed out but usable.

Hi @jerome-poenisch, thanks for the report.

Could you create a minimal repro for that issue? In the 223.3.2 patch release we introduced a fix for that stuff and it should work, so repro will be really helpful.

[jerome-poenisch]

@seclerp thanks for coming forward so quickly!

WebApplication1.zip

This is a minimal new project where I would expect this to be working. Am I missing something? Still hoping I'm just holding it wrong 😉

[seclerp]

It's really strange, working fine on my side on both old UI and new UI

[seclerp]

Are you trying to access Entity Framework Core menu from the solution context menu?

If so, it will not work this way :)

You should either use the project's context menu

or Tools | Entity Framework Core:

[jerome-poenisch]

ha yes @seclerp it works on the project context menu!

Not sure if this changed but I was kind of used to directly do it via the context menu of the migrations folder within the project - that was where I tried i all the time.

Thanks for clarifying this in such a detailed manner!
