Answer 1

This is issue #11075 . The version of your tool doesn't match the version of your runtime. Ensure you've updated every Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore package to 2.1.0-preview1-final.

Answer 2

It's related to the EF Core not EF6, it looks like there is a bug in the 2.1.0.preview1-final version.

• Check the version you are running with dotnet ef --version
• Downgrade to the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design 2.0.1 version.

Answer 3

For EF Core for .NET Core 2.0.1 in VS 2017 Version 15.7.1, I removed DotNetCliToolReference element from my project file.

Answer 4

I think this is a bug.
I'm using EF Core 2.2.4, i'm trying to rollback a migration with:

migrationBuilder.DropIndex(name: "myIndexName");

This was auto-generated for me by EF.
The method signature says name is the only required parameter (there's 2 optional ones after). When i run this i get this:

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: name

but if i add a second parameter for the table name it works:

migrationBuilder.DropIndex(
                name: "myIndexName",
                table: "myTableName");
