Seed method not called, Entity Framework 6

Question

I have a DatabaseInitializer class

public class DatabaseInitializer : CreateDatabaseIfNotExists
{
    protected override          


        

Answer 1

My seed was not being executed either. However, it was because I added a column to a model that I had no intention of using in my actual database and forgot to use the [NotMapped] annotation.

    [NotMapped]
    public string Pair { get; set; }

There was no error message relating to this being the cause at all. Just a null reference to my repository obj when I tried to query data that should have been there.
