'This is the 'bait'. You probably need to add one of the SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_* nuget packages

I am using Entity Framework Core 2 in my application using SQLite as my database provider.

I have added references to the following in my project:

  • Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore
  • Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite.Core
  • Microsoft.Data.Sqlite
  • SQLitePCLRaw.batteries_green
  • SQLitePCLRaw.batteries_v2
  • SQLitePCLRaw.core
  • SQLitePCLRaw.provider.e_sqlite3

I am trying to use the IMigrator on my dbcontext to setup my initial database like so:

using (var dbContext = new DbContext())
{
    var migrator = dbContext.GetInfrastructure().GetRequiredService<IMigrator>();
    migrator.Migrate();
}

In my DbContext I am setting adding the service with:

options.UseSqlite(connectionString);

My connection string is just a local path.

This all seems like what I should be doing as per Microsoft's documentation. However when I try to run my application, I get the following error:

'This is the 'bait'. You probably need to add one of the SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_* nuget packages to your platform project.'

As far as I'm aware I have added a SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_* package since I am referencing both SQLitePCLRaw.batteries_green and SQLitePCLRaw.batteries_v2.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this error and use SQLite as my database provider?

My DbContext is in a different project that references my Data project. The SqliteDbConnectionFactory sets up the UseSqlite on the DbContextOptionsBuilder from an OnConfiguring override in my DbContext.

So with judicious use of a decompiler, it turns out the NetStandard1.1 built SQLitePCLRaw.batteries_v2.dll assembly has the bait exception baked into it at compile time, while the net45 version correctly calls the SQLite provider initialiser.

I had been using the NetStandard assemblies at first since all the new Entity Framework and AspNetcore assemblies use some flavour of NetStandard so when I changed to net45 to test different configurations I neglected to delete by bin folder and so was getting conflicts with the different versions.

Clearing out the bin folder and only referencing net45 versions of the SQLitePCLRaw assemblies allowed the provider to be initialised.

The next error I ran into was that e_sqlite.dll could not be found. This is an un-managed assembly found in one of the SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3.* NuGet packages. I downloaded the SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3.v110_xp package and added e_sqlite.dll as a resource into my project which is copied into my bin directory at runtime.

Once I had the e_sqlite.dll in my bin, my project started successfully and created my database.
