Question

I\'m trying to generate classes from a database (EntityFramework\'s database first approach).

Answer 1

If entity-framework returns build failed, most probably you have some kind of error in any of your projects.

Even if the project you are running the command on, is clean and error-free, other projects in that solution can cause the build failed response.

Solution

• Rebuild the whole solution. Most probably you'll find that error in solution-rebuild process.
• Make sure the project you want to run command on, is selected in Default project drop-down inside Package Manager Console
• Re-run the command.
