Automatically execute migrations when publishing ASP.NET Core app

Question

Question

Is there any ways that I can automatically execute the migration code (EF 7) when publishing my ASP 5 application to IIS using Web Deploy?<

Answer 1

So I added the option -environment to my ef database command. Now it works:

"postpublish": ["dnx ef database update -e Staging"]

I have four different appsettings.json which different connection string for each environment. Just needed to indicate the environment for the command to work.
