I want to stress out that this is .NET Core and the threads about EF 6.0 does not apply to this problem
I created my DbContext and added it in DI, however when I do dotnet ef database update -v
it does not want to create the migrations table __EFMigrationsHistory
.
Is there some other command that I should do first or this is a bug of EF Core MySQL adapter?
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using MySQL.Data.EntityFrameworkCore.Extensions;
using Web.Models;
namespace Web.Infrastructure
{
public class MainDbContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }
protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
{
optionsBuilder.UseMySQL("connection-string-here");
base.OnConfiguring(optionsBuilder);
}
}
}
Finding DbContext classes...
Using context 'MainDbContext'.
Using database 'db' on server 'localhost'.

By executing dotnet ef migrations script
I get SQL code that I can execute directly in MySQL. After that migrations table is created and everything works normally. This is temp-solution which is bad. I still wonder what is the "correct" way of enabling migrations.
Turning Mark G's comment into an answer.
Once the __EFMigrationsHistory table has been created, the rest of the update should run.
CREATE TABLE `__EFMigrationsHistory` ( `MigrationId` nvarchar(150) NOT NULL, `ProductVersion` nvarchar(32) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`MigrationId`) );
Alternatively, generate the script of your migration(s) and apply to the database manually using this command in Package Manager Console:
Script-Migration
If you need to generate All scripts, you can use this command:
Script-Migration -from 0
Encountered the same problem while using standard Oracle provider.
According to this question Dot Net Entity Framework database update doesn't create tables in mysql database it doesn't have the migrations feature implemented yet.
I followed the suggestions the switched to SapientGuardian provider and it does seem to be the best way to go now.
Edit: as suggested in comments Pomelo is the best option as of beggining of 2018. I've chosen it over other providers since my original answer.
