I am trying to add a migration to my MVC NET.Core project
https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2018/04/06/entity-framework-support-rider-2018-1/ shows
After installing the EntityFramework NuGet package, we can initialize Entity Framework in our project from the project context menu, under Tools | Entity Framework | Initial setup.
JetBrains Rider enable-migrations for ASP.NET MVC on mac actually points out you have to right click on the project and choose tools.
However, I don't have the option
More research and it shows how I can do this via the terminal in Rider. https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2017/08/09/running-entity-framework-core-commands-rider/
This is where I think the problem might be (or the following is a red herring)
In the terminal, I CD into my project. I enter dotnet restore and it completes
I then type dotnet ef and I'm told
Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
I am totally baffled why this is the case.
I have a work around - it works perfectly in Visual Studio, but I'm trying to learn another IDE and would like to get past this
Any thoughts? Ultimately, the best option is to have the Tools > EF option in rider.
