I'm using this MSDN Tutorial to run in VS2015 the command PM> Add-Migration MyFirstMigration -context BloggingContext
that ran yesterday successfully but today it's giving the following error that is also pointed out by other users here. I even deleted the Migrations folder from solution explorer and the corresponding db from SQL Express 2014 on Win 8.1
but same error. Even if I run Add-Migration MyFirstMigration
I get same error:
Add-Migration : The term 'Add-Migration' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ Add-Migration MyFirstMigration -context BloggingContext
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Add-Migration:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
Note: I'm using latest version of ASP.NET Core 1.0 and VS2015 - Update 3 released on June 27, 2016.
UPDATE
The following commands work fine from the project directory in the windows explorer when using command window:
> dotnet ef migrations add MyFirstMigration --context BloggingContext
> dotnet ef database update --context BloggingContext
UPDATE 2a
Following is the project.json file:
