Wish I could be of better assistance regarding Visual Studio for Mac, but although I have it installed, I think I launched it once or twice.

Lately I've been using JetBrains Rider, but prior to this, almost all of my pet projects on the Mac I've done with Visual Studio Code and the command line (at work I use Windows and the full Visual Studio).

What kind of issues have you faced with EF? Couldn't you run the migrations stuff from the command line?

PS: This blog post here says something about fixing EF on Rider, dunno what that means as I didn't use it, but it may be related to what you mentioned.

Hey JoĆ£o,

What kind of issues have you faced with EF? Couldn't you run the migrations stuff from the command line?

Yeah, I've been following an online course that showcases how to execute the enable-migrations command on the Package Manager Console and I ended up googling around for a few hours without success. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

I'll give it another try later and see what happens.

So you're using EF6, not EF Core correct?

Yeah, that's correct. I tried it out with EF6.

Ah, ok. As you're on Mac I immediately assumed .NET Core and EF Core, where you can do everything from the terminal, no package manager console required.
I guess if that was the case you wouldn't have asked, as you would've figured it out in no time šŸ˜…

EF6 out of Windows unfortunately I never tried.

Hope you figure it out soon!
