✅ Project not found when trying to add migration in rider
Hello guys, whenever I try to add a migration in rider, using its terminal, I get the following error:
Can someone explain what this error is due to please.
What I tried, is I switch to the folder where my dbContext is, for example in a folder called data, even then, I get this error.
The thing which makes it work is, initially I'm in the solution directory, something like that:
C:\Users\{user}\RiderProjects\Learning
I just switch to
C:\Users\{user}\RiderProjects\Learning\Learning
Then it worked. So I have a few questions, initially we are always in the solution folder? I'm confused, how does it differ, like Learning/Learning are both the same things ? why there aren't name conflicts?
Second thing, does rider has a package manager console like visual studio where we can omit the dotnet command ?
Last question where is the .csproj found in rider please, I can't see it

dotnet commands need to be executed from within the project dir, or specify the project.
that said, Rider has excellent EF Core tooling built in
I'd recommend just using thatThats your csproj
oh ok
yeahh, just saw that, it has in-built function to add migration and scaffolding
To answer your second question, yes, Rider does have a terminal built-in
the terminal will default the CWD to your solution folder though, afaik
yep but that's not the same as visual studio I think no? Like we need to manually install dotnet something
the package-manager console is not a normal terminal
it has a bunch of weird stuff pre-loaded
Rider does no such thing
yep I see
will just stick with the UI options
Thanks !
to be fair, the UI thingy shows you the dotnet command it will run
so you can see what it does
very helpful when you have more than 1 context, etc
yeah just saw that, it was a length string 😂
oh ok, I will have a look then
Thanks once more 👍
