Can't use migrations in EF Core: "42P07: relation "AspNetRoles" already exists"

3

I have strange issue which I can't find solution for.

The stack is: NET Core 2, EF, PostgreSQL. I use .NET Core Identity with User : IdentityUser to extend base user model with additional fields.

After I create first migration, drop whole database and try to dotnet ef database update I always get an error: 42P07: relation "AspNetRoles" already exists

Even with this error, the database and tables are created but it makes migrations useless as it does not save applied migrations so I can't update DB with following changes...

fail: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command[200102] Failed executing DbCommand (0ms) [Parameters=[], CommandType='Text', CommandTimeout='30'] CREATE TABLE "AspNetRoles" ( "Id" text NOT NULL, "ConcurrencyStamp" text NULL, "Name" varchar(256) NULL, "NormalizedName" varchar(256) NULL, CONSTRAINT "PK_AspNetRoles" PRIMARY KEY ("Id") ); Npgsql.PostgresException (0x80004005): 42P07: relation "AspNetRoles" already exists at Npgsql.NpgsqlConnector.d__148.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter1.GetResult() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ValueTaskAwaiter1.GetResult()

The reason was pretty simple. I was calling EnsureCreated in Startup.cs which was getting conflict with migrations as working different way. Thankfully EF Core owners made it clear for me on GitHub.

So to summarize - if you want to use Migrations, you can't use EnsureCreated.

I was doing something really dumb! I copied the connection string from another micro service and it had the wrong Database in the connection string - that database already had the table that the error was complaining about! Block Copy strikes again!
