Mysql update-database System.FormatException

Question

I received an error when trying to use the update-database migration features with EntityFramework. I used this function very often without problems. Here are my 2 problems classes:

public class Produit
{
    [Key]
    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int Upc { get; set; }

    public int? BinId { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("BinId")]
    public Bin Bin { get; set; }

}

public class Bin
{
    [Key]
    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int NoBin { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Produit> Produits { get; set; }
}

Error:

Input string was not in a correct format.

The enable-migrations worked and add-migration work too.

I use the packages: MySql.Data.EntityFramework (8.0.17.0) MySql.Data (8.0.17.0)

This looks the same as bug 92561 in MySql.Data.EntityFramework, which is caused by running in a non-US-English locale.

As a workaround, you could try switching your computer's locale to US English to run the migration.

Alternatively, try switching to Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql , an OSS implementation of EF Core for MySQL; a lot of people have reported that it's less buggy than Oracle's version.
