Hello everyone. I am trying to create a migration, but when I call "Add-Migration" I get an error:
Add-Migration: Exception calling "Start" with "1" argument(s): "An error occurred trying to start process '/usr/local/bin/dotnet' with working directory '/Users/../server/Optimum.Api/'. No such file or directory"
@Sonya, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, where did you execute the command about Add-Migration, is in cmd or in Package Manager console?
Based on my test, if you just forget to add name of the Migration, you may get the following mention:
or
Therefore, I need more information to reproduce your problem, such as your dbcontext, model class and specific migration command.
@Sonya, is any update on this question?
Migrations require a name which is missing from the command and the reason for the error message. Please see the official documentation. Entity Framework Core tools reference - Package Manager Console in Visual Studio
