PostgreSql and EntityFramework Unable to create an object of type

Question

when I am trying to use this command dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate

I am getting error like : Unable to create an object of type 'BlogDbContext'. For the different patterns supported at design time etc...

Also I tried this(dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef) solution but does not worked for me.

My BlogDbContext code :

public class BlogDbContext : DbContext
{
    public BlogDbContext(DbContextOptions<BlogDbContext> options) : base (options)
    {

    }

    protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
    {
        base.OnConfiguring(optionsBuilder);
    }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
        modelBuilder.Entity<Blog>();
    }
}

Also I added my App class. App class contains my Run function.

public class App
{
    public App()
    {
    }

    public void Run()
    {
        var services = new ServiceCollection();
        var connstr = "Host=localhost;Database=blog;Port=5432;Username=postgres;Password=mysecretpassword";
        services.AddDbContext<BlogDbContext>(x => x.UseNpgsql(connstr).UseSnakeCaseNamingConvention());
        var provider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

        using (var ctx = provider.GetService<BlogDbContext>())
        {
            ctx.Add(new Blog());
            ctx.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
}

Add a constructor to your BlogDbContext and it will fix the issue. I found this issue and also add a feedback at Microsoft doc site.

public class BlogDbContext : DbContext
{
    // add this method
    public BlogDbContext()
    {
    }
    public BlogDbContext(DbContextOptions<BlogDbContext> options) : base (options)
    {

    }

    protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
    {
        base.OnConfiguring(optionsBuilder);
    }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
        modelBuilder.Entity<Blog>();
    }
}
