Entity framework exception while creating a many to many relation

Hello everyone, I've been trying to make a many to many relation between two classes Voyage and Transporteur. these are the Three classes:

c#
public class Transporteur : IdentityUser
    {
        public string Nom { get; set; } = string.Empty;
        public string Prenom { get; set; } = string.Empty;

        public Vehicule? Vehicule { get; set; }
        public string? VehiculeId { get; set; } = string.Empty;
        public bool ExterneDuService { get; set; } = false;
        public List<Voyage> Voyages { get; } = [];
        public ICollection<TransporteurVoyage> TransporteurVoyages { get; } = [];
    }

This is my dbContext:

c#
 public class ApplicationDBContext : IdentityDbContext<IdentityUser>
    {
        public ApplicationDBContext(DbContextOptions dbContextOptions) : base(dbContextOptions)

            builder.Entity<IdentityRole>().HasData(roles);
            builder.Entity<TransporteurVoyage>()
                  .HasKey(pc => new { pc.TransporteurId, pc.VoyageId });
            builder.Entity<TransporteurVoyage>()
                    .HasOne(p => p.Voyage)

        }
    }

This is the exception:

I'd try configuring the join table with .UsingEntity()

daminkoOP•8mo ago

how?

Angius•8mo ago

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/modeling/relationships/many-to-many#many-to-many-with-class-for-join-entity

builder.Entity<Transporteur>()
  .HasMany(t => t.Voyages)
  .WithMany(v => v.Transporteurs)
  .UsingEntity<TransporteurVoyage>(/* other config */);

builder.Entity<Transporteur>()
  .HasMany(t => t.Voyages)
  .WithMany(v => v.Transporteurs)
  .UsingEntity<TransporteurVoyage>(/* other config */);

daminkoOP•8mo ago

I've tried this to be more precise

c#
 builder.Entity<Transporteur>()
  .HasMany(t => t.Voyages)
  .WithMany(v => v.Transporteurs)
  .UsingEntity<TransporteurVoyage>(
     l => l.HasOne<Voyage>().WithMany().HasForeignKey(e => e.VoyageId),
            r => r.HasOne<Transporteur>().WithMany().HasForeignKey(e => e.TransporteurId)
  );

c#
 builder.Entity<Transporteur>()
  .HasMany(t => t.Voyages)
  .WithMany(v => v.Transporteurs)
  .UsingEntity<TransporteurVoyage>(
     l => l.HasOne<Voyage>().WithMany().HasForeignKey(e => e.VoyageId),
            r => r.HasOne<Transporteur>().WithMany().HasForeignKey(e => e.TransporteurId)
  );

but got another exception

Error Number:1785,State:0,Class:16
Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_TransporteurVoyage_Voyage_VoyageId' on table 'TransporteurVoyage' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.
Could not create constraint or index. See previous errors.
Warning! The maximum key length for a clustered index is 900 bytes. The index 'PK_TransporteurVoyage' has maximum length of 1800 bytes. For some combination of large values, the insert/update operation will fail.

Why are the IDs 450-character long varchars

daminkoOP•8mo ago

The Transporteur inherits from IdentityUser

Angius•8mo ago

I'd change the type of the key it uses To a GUID or something

daminkoOP•8mo ago

How can I change it?

Angius•8mo ago

Because varchar IDs this long are a bad idea Transporteur : IdentityUser<TKey> TKey being the type of the key

daminkoOP•8mo ago

Angius•8mo ago

You'll need to recreate the migrations, mind you Or, well, at least create a new one Actually... you will need to drop the database, delete migrations, and create them from zero

daminkoOP•8mo ago

I'm still creating my database so np

Angius•8mo ago

Since PK change is not backwards compatible

daminkoOP•8mo ago

Just one more question

daminkoOP•8mo ago

I have these 4 classes that extends Utilisateur what I've done I created the Demandeur, Admin Magasinier and the transporteur classes all of them extends the IdentityUser is it a good approach? or there is a better one

Angius•8mo ago

IMHO the best approach would be to use roles, not inheritance in this case But, sure, inheritance should work as well

daminkoOP•8mo ago

my business logic imposes inheritance

Angius•8mo ago

Then you do what you must

daminkoOP•8mo ago

Tysm for your time

deem•8mo ago

no problem
