Error when running EF migrations

Question

I just created a new web project for .net core 2.0 preview 1 which includes Individual User Accounts authentication using visual studio 2017 preview edition.

Then when I tried to run update-database from Package Manager Console, I got the following error message:

System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to configure HTTPS endpoint.

The same error also occur when I run it from cmd.

How can I fix this to run the migration successfully?

Answer 1

I was using .NET Core 2.0 Preview 1 when this problem occurs. Even after following some suggestions which seems to be a way to solve this in the following link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/aspnet/core/security/https , I still got the same error.

At the end I decided to to upgrade to .NET Core 2.0 Preview 2 and now it works like a charm :)
