EF Classic? #66

Open kanadaj opened 5 years ago

kanadaj commented 5 years ago

Hey there, do you think there is any reasonable way to make this work with ZProject.EntityFramework.Classic? It's an EF6 fork that runs on .NET Core/netstandard, but has no migration tooling

mrahhal commented 5 years ago

Hey. This project depends on the EntityFramework package's migration tooling for the real work. The question here is whether ZProject.EntityFramework.Classic contains the equivalent migration types I'm using. I haven't used it so I don't really know. All in all, it's possible as I don't really depend on full .NET apart from using EF6 itself, but it'll possibly need lots of work.

That's a likely no. I think the EntityFramework package's tooling might only work with the legacy project format which is already a problem :(

mrahhal commented 5 years ago

Yeah, that's unfortunate. It was already a challenge to make this work with the fully available tooling in EF6.

It's honestly such a pain. I'm on a deadline to get an ASP.NET Core EF6 app moved from Azure to Linux VMs which would ideally include moving to .NET Core fully, and finally we have EF6 versions that run on Core but no migration tooling which is super important :(

mrahhal commented 5 years ago

We also had to make our peace with sticking with full .NET for one of our large projects because we need EF6. Nothing can be done here but wait for EF6 to become .NET standard.

Sadly, I cannot wait unless I am willing to risk running this web app on Mono, and I'm not sure that's a safe bet...
