Big problem transfering ASP.NET app from one environment to another
What the title says, I have a desktop computer at home where I do most of my development work and I built an ASP.NET app with EntityFramework and MSSQLServer. In that computer it works fine, problem is I now need to get the app to my laptop and make it work but I'm getting all kinds of problems. I'm pretty sure there's an inconsistency or several between the two databases (the one at home and the one in the laptop). But now when I do update-database it doesn't go through because either I get the error message of EFCore version being wrong or because the project can't build (but the project can't build because I can't apply the migrations and update the database). I'm pretty sure the code itself is exactly equal as I pushed it to github from home and now pulled it down on the laptop. What should I do?

How did you transfer the database?
I didn't really, thought I could just do it by using the migration files with update-database
But it seems its more complicated then that, huh?
Sure, you can recreate the structure with migrations
What are the errors exactly?
right now, when I do update-database I get:
The EntityFramework package is not installed on project
(I also don't know how to install on project and I don't know which version I'm using at home, sowwy)
Although I can get back to you on the version being used question in about an hourdotnet tool list will show tools installed locally
dotnet tool list -g will show tools installed globally
It's possible you have dotnet-ef tool installed globally at home, but not installed at all on the other PC
If so, dotnet tool install -g dotnet-ef will install itI can't continue this today, I'll continue tomorrow thanks for the availability, hopefully you can continue with this tommorrow
Yo, I'm back!
So here's the output I get from those commands on each system...
Desktop:
PM> dotnet tool list
Package Id Version Commands Manifest
---------------------------------------------------
PM> dotnet tool list -g
Package Id Version Commands

You can invoke the tool using the following command: dotnet-ef
Tool 'dotnet-ef' (version '8.0.0') was successfully installed.

When I run on desktop it runs fine, yet when I run on laptop, I get this exception:Pastebin
ASP.NET Exception - Pastebin.com
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
mr zzzzs, z-man wassup? Good to see you online 🙂
Ok, strange just to be certain I ran the update-database command on the desktop and I got also:
update-database
The EntityFramework package is not installed on project 'Proj-name'.
Which is strange cause I'm pretty sure I added and applied migrations on this environment
When I run the same command on laptop, I get the same exact output, btw
I guess, maybe I just didnt apply any EF package to the project itself and it was somehow being run with the global installation on the Desktop??

On laptop:
PM> dotnet install -g dotnet-ef
dotnet : Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
At line:1 char:1
+ dotnet install -g dotnet-ef
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Could not execu... was not found.:String) [], RemoteException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
Possible reasons for this include:
* You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
* You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-install does not exist.
* You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATHUnknown User•6mo ago

ok, still runs fine on my desktop
and it runs fine on laptop too, hurray
still the data itself in the db is different because I inputted it manually on desktop through registering users on asp.net identity and other things... which is a problem
What should I do about that? Transfer the db on a pen-drive from one computer to another?

Ok, I still have some development to do, which I'll do on desktop. So there probably will be more changes in terms of data in the db, so when I'm ready to transfer I'll google it or create another help thread here
