scaffold-dbcontext basepath exception on EntityFrameworkCore

I kept getting the following exception when I scaffold the entity framework core. I googled and tried multiple suggestions to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

I am using Visual Studio Community 2017. I have installed the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer,
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer.Design and
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools packages via NuGet

This is the exception:

Exception calling "AddFromFile" with "1" argument(s):
"'basePath' cannot be an empty string ("") or start with the null character.
Parameter name: basePath"

These are the commands I have tried:

Scaffold-DbContext -Connection "Server=1234;UserId=2345;password=3456;Database=4567;" -Provider Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -Force

Scaffold-DbContext "Data Source=1234;Initial Catalog=4567;User ID=2345;Password=3456" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -force -v

Scaffold-DbContext -Connection "Data Source=1234;UserId=2345;password=3456;Database=4567;" -Provider Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -Force
