Versions

  • Visual Studio version: 16.7.2

What happened

A few months ago, I created a new ASP.NET Core 3.1 web application. As I recall, Visual Studio created a Data folder, a Migrations folder, and a Models folder. It created an initial migration and configured the solution such that the Add-Migration and Update-Database commands were available in Package Manager Console.

I've just created another web application after installing 16.7.2 and none of these things are happening. None of the folders are created and the Add-Migration and Update-Database commands are not recognized.

Although I'm still getting used to code first, this worked pretty good last time. I can't tell if these working features have been removed for some reason, or if there's a problem with my install.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new project.
  2. Selected Web Application, .NET Core, ASP.NET Core 3.1, No Authentication, Configured for HTTPS (no other options selected).
  3. No Data, Migrations, or Models folders are created. No database context is created. The Add-Migration and Update-Database commands are not recognized.

Expected behavior

I wanted it to work like the last time I created a web application.

It looks like the difference this type is that I did not set up user authentication. When I configure this for an Individual User, the expected scaffolding is created.

This seems less than ideal. What if I don't want authentication in my app? Why should that make a difference on setting up code first? And it's hard for the user to recognize this was the cause, as they seem unrelated.

NOTE: The Add-Migration and Update-Database commands are still unrecognized. It would be very nice if Visual Studio could configure the solution so that these commands are available.
