EF Core Error - No project was found. Change the current working directory or use the --project option

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2015 and dotnet core and trying to develop an EF Core Code First project using Sqlite and this documentation / tut

Answer 1

Just faced similar issue. Fixed by downgrading to 1.0.0-preview3-final

"tools": {
     "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.DotNet": "1.0.0-preview3-final",    
}

and changing --project param to --startup-project

dotnet ef --startup-project  migrations add 

In global.json I also downgraded version to

 "sdk": {
     "version": "1.0.0-preview2-003131"
 }

This might be a temp workaround before migrating to csproj.
