Package Manager Console Enable-Migrations CommandNotFoundException only in a specific VS project

Question

I tried to run the command \'Enable-Migrations\' in a new project and I got the message:

PM> Enable-Migrations
The term \'Enable-Migrations\' is not recog         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue and I tried most of the solution provided by other folks but it worked for me with below steps. I have VS 2017.

Steps:

Install-Package EntityFramework -IncludePrerelease

then create a class as

public class MyDBContext : DbContext { public MyDBContext() { } }

and at the last execute

Enable-Migrations -EnableAutomaticMigrations

What didn't work for me:

: Restarting VS.

: only "Enable-Migrations" command, which is without -EnableAutomaticMigrations.

: restoring or updating Nuget Package Manager.

My original error in the beginning was

/* The term 'enable-migration' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.At line:1 char:1 + enable-migration + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (enable-migration:String) [], CommandNotFoundException */
