Nested classes support? #11

Closed sgrassie closed 1 year ago

sgrassie commented 1 year ago

I've found that when a DbContext has mappings to a class in the same assembly, which is a nested class, then the comparer thinks the type is defined in another assembly.

Making the classes not nested is the obvious solution, but that would be... not easy.

Hi @sgrassie,

I'm sorry to say that I don't support this EF6 library anymore. EF6 didn't provide very good access to the EF6 Model information which makes it very hard to debug / change.

I do have an EfCore.SchemaCompare which is much better as EF Core has a context.Model which makes it much easier to code.

I appreciate that 😀 however with a particular project I'm in a legacy situation which is probably never going to change. I've forked the repo, so I will attempt to hack in the support I need 👍

That's fine. I don't want to work on this library but its open-source code so go ahead. I suspect your changes will be feeding in your entity classes which should be OK, but if you need to change the deeper code, then be aware its not documented.
