Create database step fails for UWP apps, redirects back to this same page #2121

Open arcadiogarcia opened 4 years ago

arcadiogarcia commented 4 years ago

The Package Manager Console steps for creating the database fail on UWP projects. The Add-Migration command asks the user to follow a link which is UWP specific, but that page seems to be gone and redirects back to this page. If the information in this page is not meant to apply to UWP apps, we should specify it and redirect that link somewhere else.

PM> Add-Migration InitialCreate Startup project 'BookShellfManagedApp' is a Universal Windows Platform app. This version of the Entity Framework Core Package Manager Console Tools doesn't support this type of project. For more information on using the EF Core Tools with UWP projects, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=858496

It seems like it would be more useful if VS suggested https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2034705 / https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/miscellaneous/cli/powershell#other-target-frameworks which actually describes how to solve the issue.

If https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=858496 is only used in this context, maybe it could be updated to point to this other page rather than changing the documentation?

I think @ajcvickers might be the owner of the link, what are your thoughts on this?

@arcadiogarcia We will fix it.

Still not fixed. What happened to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/get-started/uwp/getting-started.

This was a UWP EF SQLite with migrations example. I saved the link but not the whole page. I wish I had saved the whole example locally :(
