dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef doesnt seem to work with .NET Core 3.1

ihorbond commented 4 years ago

I needed to run db scaffolding so I came here to find "dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef" command but it failed with error "Tool 'dotnet-ef' failed to install..." Running dotnet --version results in 3.1.100. So I ran "dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 3.1" and now dotnet-ef installed successfully. Not sure if this is something on my end or anyone else is experiencing this issue ?

@ihorbond I see no reason why the first command should fail while the second one succeeded. If you can provide full details of your system, including what is installed, and attach a project where this error happens, then we will investigate.

Rick-Anderson commented 4 years ago

@ihorbond closing. If you can provide more information we can reopen this issue.

I have installed DotNet Core SDK 3.1.101 on Windows 10 Pro This command won't work: -> dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef error NU1100: Unable to resolve 'dotnet-ef ' for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v3.1'. error NU1100: Unable to resolve 'dotnet-ef ' for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v3.1/any'.

Try specify the version of dotnet-ef. It worked for me; dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 3.1.3

VuyisaM commented 3 years ago

Hi I am getting the same error and I used 3.1.3

mbrookson commented 3 years ago

Recently had the same issue installing the latest version for .NET 5.

As suggested above, being explicit with the version also fixed my issue.

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 5.0.0

I solved the issue indicating the source at the end of the command

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 6.0.0-preview.2.21154.2 --add-source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

vormc2005 commented 3 years ago

Adding source worked dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 5.0.0 --add-source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

Rick-Anderson commented 3 years ago

If you've installed prerelease versions you may need to run dotnet tool uninstall --global dotnet-ef first

Rick-Anderson commented 3 years ago

@Anas-Alhariri try removing it before installing.

Anas-Alhariri commented 3 years ago

@Anas-Alhariri try removing it before installing.

It didn't work either, I have tried to remove it locally and globally, but actually, it is not installed. I was working on a project on my Mac and just downloaded it from Github again on my Windows 10 PC to continue working with multiple monitors.

My working environment is a fresh Windows 10 installation in a virtual machine everything seems to operate perfectly except for the dotnet-ef tool. I could run the project and communicate with my API and the Database, but after I have made additional classes and tried to update the migrations and the database I got the error.

I don't think I have dotnet-ef ever installed (globally nor locally) on this system.

Any ideas?

Anas-Alhariri commented 3 years ago

I have fixed it!!

The problem is with the source of the package. The original default sources seem to be corrupted. I tried to add https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json as a source and re-run the installation but still didn't work, even tho the source is enabled as a package source!

I found an option that will ignore failed sources and continue to try downloading and installing the package in dotnet toolcommand line.

### Here is how I fixed it: Run these lines in order. NOTE: ----- NOT SURE IF THIS NECESSARY, please try without it and if didn't work try again from step one and include step 2. -----

dotnet nuget add source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -n DefaultNuget
dotnet nuget locals -c all
make sure your new source has been added and enabled successfully, it should be the last item in the list: dotnet nuget list source
Now, run the following command and make sure to use the dotnet-ef version that matches your SDK version: dotnet tool install -g dotnet-ef --version 5.0.5 --ignore-failed-sources

Finally, you should receive a message in your terminal/commandline like the following:

You can invoke the tool using the following command: dotnet-ef
Tool dotnet-ef (version '5.0.5') was successfully installed.

That means you have successfully installed the dotnet-ef.
To confirm the installation again, you could use: dotnet-ef and the output should look something like this:

                     _/\__
               ---==/    \\

Rick-Anderson commented 3 years ago

@Anas-Alhariri I don't think the source is corrupt or we'd have many reports like this. I think your package got corrupted and could have been fixed via dotnet nuget locals --clear all to clear the NuGet package cache.

Anas-Alhariri commented 3 years ago

dotnet nuget locals --clear all

Thank you for your reply. I agree with you, but that for some reason didn't fix the issue for me.

I have done some many things trying to fix this issue, that's why I think it was something related to the source, as the error itself was saying that couldn't get response from the address C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.202\NuGet.targets(131,5): error : Failed to retrieve information about 'Swashbuckle.AspNetCore' from remote source 'https://www.nuget.org/packages/FindPackagesById()?id='Swashbuckle.AspNetCore'&semVerLevel=2.0.0'. [C:\Users\anas\Github Projects\MSProject\MSProject.sln] C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.202\NuGet.targets(131,5): error : Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found). [C:\Users\anas\Github Projects\MSProject\MSProject.sln]

This is just another error that I am getting and again only dotnet restore with --ignore-failed-sources option solved it!

Not sure what's going on.

The portion that made me think that this might be a source issue is this

error :   Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found). [C:\Users\anas\Github Projects\MSProject\MSProject.sln]

In addition, I have tried to fix my windows 10 using the MediaCreationTool20H2 Removed VS 2019 and dotnet 5.0.202 SDK I deleted the folder of dotnet from program files made sure that no trace for dotnet or nuget working in PowerShell, then reinstalled everything again. and the problem persists.

I wish I could understand what exactly is the issue. It took me so much time fixing it and still seems like the issue not completely resolved.

Rick-Anderson commented 3 years ago

@Anas-Alhariri thanks for reporting back and I'm glad you got it working. I'll watch this issue to see if others have the same problem.

Anas-Alhariri commented 3 years ago

@Anas-Alhariri thanks for reporting back and I'm glad you got it working. I'll watch this issue to see if others have the same problem.

I found the source of the issue. I forgot that I have added the nuget lib source in my Visual Studio for package downloading. It seems like mistakenly I missed copying the link and pasting it correctly. After changing that to the correct link, things went smooth and as expected.

Thank you Rick for your help :)

RodrigoGroener commented 2 years ago

dotnet nuget list source returned an empty list. I guess you only run into this problem when you install dotnet without having visual studio installed on your machnie that pre populates the official nuget site as source.

running dotnet nuget add source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -n nuget.org fixed the issue for me.

4. dotnet tool install -g dotnet-ef --version 5.0.5 --ignore-failed-sources

These steps worked perfect! Thank you! I swear I had VS Code installed first.. but I must have d/l and installed dotnet before and just didn't clue in.

This issue I was getting: The Entity Framework tools version '5.0.2' is older than that of the runtime '7.0.1'. Update the tools for the latest features and bug fixes. See https://aka.ms/AAc1fbw for more information.

installed updated dotnet ef version with dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 7.0.1 [Same error]
installed the dotnet ef version with adding source dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 7.0.1 --add-source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json [Same error]
Tried to uninstall the dotnet ef version by using dotnet tool uninstall --global dotnet-ef and then installed the 7.0.1 version using dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 7.0.1 --add-source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json [Same error]
Also tried to ignore issues by using install -g dotnet-ef --version 5.0.2 --ignore-failed-sources [Same error]
Finally the solution that helped was to remove the dotnet-ef cache and installing by using dotnet tool update --no-cache dotnet-ef --version 7.0.1 --ignore-failed-sources [The removed 5.0.2 version from cache and used 7.0.1 version of dotnet ef]

I used dotnet tool update --no-cache dotnet-ef --version 7.0.1 --ignore-failed-sources. By using --no-cache option, it replaced the dotnet 5.0.2 cache which was causing the issue.

This worked for me:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef
set the env
restart visual studio

dotnet / EntityFramework.Docs

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef doesnt seem to work with .NET Core 3.1 #2044
