HibernateException: Could not create the driver from NHibernate.Driver.MySqlDataDriver

Question

I want to create a connection with MySQL server using FluentNHibernate in ASP.NET Core, but I get an exception.

My Fluent configuration:

var config = Fluently.Configure()
                     .Database(MySQLConfiguration
                         .Standard
                         .ConnectionString(cs => cs
                             .Server(dbServer)
                             .Database(dbName)
                             .Username(dbUsername)
                             .Password(dbPassword)))
                     .Mappings(x =>x.FluentMappings.AddFromAssembly(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()))
                     .BuildSessionFactory();

Exception:

FluentNHibernate.Cfg.FluentConfigurationException: "An invalid or incomplete configuration was used while creating a SessionFactory. Check PotentialReasons collection, and InnerException for more detail."

InnerExceptions:

HibernateException: Could not create the driver from NHibernate.Driver.MySqlDataDriver, NHibernate, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=aa95f207798dfdb4.

What should I do?

Answer 1

FluentNHibernate does not support .NET Core ( issue ), because NHibernate has not ( PR ).

NHibernate PR is scheduled for v5.1 , due by December 15, 2017 at the time of this writing.

mstancombe has a fork for .NET Core, but you have to build it yourself.
