InvalidOperationException: Cannot create a DbSet for 'Role' because this type is not included in the model for the context

The following solution works in .net core 1.1, but after upgrading from 1.1 to 2.0, I received the following error:

InvalidOperationException: Cannot create a DbSet for 'Role' because this type is not included in the model for the context.

When the user attempts to log in and the following statement is executed:

var result = await _signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(model.Email, 
                                model.Password, model.RememberMe, lockoutOnFailure: false);

What is wrong?


User.cs

public partial class User : IdentityUser<Guid>
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

IdentityEntities.cs

public partial class UserLogin : IdentityUserLogin<Guid>
{
}
public partial class UserRole : IdentityUserRole<Guid>
{
}
public partial class UserClaim : IdentityUserClaim<Guid>
{
}
public partial class Role : IdentityRole<Guid>
{
    public Role() : base()
    { 
    }

    public Role(string roleName)
    {
        Name = roleName;
    }
}
public partial class RoleClaim : IdentityRoleClaim<Guid>
{
}
public partial class UserToken : IdentityUserToken<Guid>
{
}

ConfigureServices

services.AddIdentity<User, Role>

Check that your AppDbContext is NOT inherited from DbContext but instead it should be inherited from IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
