更改跟踪器调试

Entity Framework Core (EF Core) 更改跟踪器会生成两种类型的输出以帮助进行调试:

  • ChangeTracker.DebugView 提供了有关要跟踪的所有实体的直观易懂的视图
  • 更改跟踪器检测到状态并修复关系时,将生成调试级别日志消息

提示

本文档假设你已了解实体状态和 EF Core 更改跟踪的基础知识。 有关这些主题的详细信息,请参阅 EF Core 中的更改跟踪

提示

通过从 GitHub 下载示例代码,你可运行并调试到本文档中的所有代码。

更改跟踪器调试视图

可以在 IDE 的调试器中访问更改跟踪器调试视图。 例如,在 Visual Studio 中:

从 Visual Studio 调试程序访问更改跟踪器视图

也可以直接通过代码访问它,例如,将调试视图发送到控制台:

Console.WriteLine(context.ChangeTracker.DebugView.ShortView);

调试视图具有短视图形式和长视图形式。 短视图形式显示跟踪的实体、它们的状态和键值。 长视图形式还包括所有属性以及导航值和状态。

短视图

我们来查看使用本文档末尾所示的模型进行的一个调试视图示例。 首先,我们将跟踪一些实体,并使它们处于不同的状态,以便可以查看良好的更改跟踪数据:

using var context = new BlogsContext();

var blogs = context.Blogs
    .Include(e => e.Posts).ThenInclude(e => e.Tags)
    .Include(e => e.Assets)
    .ToList();

// Mark something Added
blogs[0].Posts.Add(
    new Post
    {
        Title = "What’s next for System.Text.Json?",
        Content = ".NET 5.0 was released recently and has come with many new features and..."
    });

// Mark something Deleted
blogs[1].Posts.Remove(blogs[1].Posts[1]);

// Make something Modified
blogs[0].Name = ".NET Blog (All new!)";

context.ChangeTracker.DetectChanges();

如上所示,此时打印短视图将产生以下输出:

Blog {Id: 1} Modified AK {AssetsId: ed727978-1ffe-4709-baee-73913e8e44a0}
Blog {Id: 2} Unchanged AK {AssetsId: 3a54b880-2b9d-486b-9403-dc2e52d36d65}
BlogAssets {Id: 3a54b880-2b9d-486b-9403-dc2e52d36d65} Unchanged FK {Id: 3a54b880-2b9d-486b-9403-dc2e52d36d65}
BlogAssets {Id: ed727978-1ffe-4709-baee-73913e8e44a0} Unchanged FK {Id: ed727978-1ffe-4709-baee-73913e8e44a0}
Post {Id: -2147482643} Added FK {BlogId: 1}
Post {Id: 1} Unchanged FK {BlogId: 1}
Post {Id: 2} Unchanged FK {BlogId: 1}
Post {Id: 3} Unchanged FK {BlogId: 2}
Post {Id: 4} Deleted FK {BlogId: 2}
PostTag (Dictionary<string, object>) {PostsId: 1, TagsId: 1} Unchanged FK {PostsId: 1} FK {TagsId: 1}
PostTag (Dictionary<string, object>) {PostsId: 1, TagsId: 3} Unchanged FK {PostsId: 1} FK {TagsId: 3}
PostTag (Dictionary<string, object>) {PostsId: 2, TagsId: 1} Unchanged FK {PostsId: 2} FK {TagsId: 1}
PostTag (Dictionary<string, object>) {PostsId: 3, TagsId: 2} Unchanged FK {PostsId: 3} FK {TagsId: 2}
PostTag (Dictionary<string, object>) {PostsId: 4, TagsId: 2} Deleted FK {PostsId: 4} FK {TagsId: 2}
Tag {Id: 1} Unchanged
Tag {Id: 2} Unchanged
Tag {Id: 3} Unchanged

注意:

  • 每个跟踪实体都列出了其主键 (PK) 值。 例如 Blog {Id: 1}
  • 如果实体是共享类型实体类型,则还会显示其 CLR 类型。 例如 PostTag (Dictionary<string, object>)
  • 接下来会显示 EntityState。 这将是以下状态之一:UnchangedAddedModifiedDeleted
  • 接下来将显示任何替代键 (AK) 的值。 例如 AK {AssetsId: ed727978-1ffe-4709-baee-73913e8e44a0}
  • 最后,将显示任何外键 (FK) 的值。 例如 FK {PostsId: 4} FK {TagsId: 2}

长视图

可以通过与短视图相同的方式,将长视图发送到控制台:

Console.WriteLine(context.ChangeTracker.DebugView.LongView);

与上文中短视图相同的状态的输出为:

Blog {Id: 1} Modified
  Id: 1 PK
  AssetsId: 'ed727978-1ffe-4709-baee-73913e8e44a0' AK

  Posts: [{Id: 1}]

每个跟踪的实体及其状态都将按原来的方式显示。 但是,长视图还会显示属性和导航值。

属性值

对于每个属性,长视图会显示属性是否是主键 (PK)、替代键 (AK) 或外键 (FK) 的一部分。 例如:

  • Blog.Id 是主键属性:Id: 1 PK
  • Blog.AssetsId 是替代键属性:AssetsId: 'ed727978-1ffe-4709-baee-73913e8e44a0' AK
  • Post.BlogId 是外键属性:BlogId: 2 FK
  • BlogAssets.Id 既是主键又是外键属性:Id: '3a54b880-2b9d-486b-9403-dc2e52d36d65' PK FK

修改过的属性值都将以此方式进行标记,并且还会显示属性的原始值。 例如 Name: '.NET Blog (All new!)' Modified Originally '.NET Blog'

最后,具有临时键值的 Added 实体将表明该值是临时值。 例如 Id: -2147482643 PK Temporary

导航值是使用导航引用的实体的主键值显示的。 例如,在上面的输出中,post 3 与 blog 2 相关。 这意味着 Post.Blog 导航指向 ID 为 2 的 Blog 实例。 这可以表示为 Blog: {Id: 2}

集合导航也发生相同的情况,只是在这种情况下,可能有多个相关实体。 例如,集合导航 Blog.Posts 包含三个实体,它们的键值分别为 1、2 和 -2147482643。 这可以表示为 [{Id: 1}, {Id: 2}, {Id: -2147482643}]

更改跟踪器日志记录

每当检测到属性或导航更改时,更改跟踪器会在 Debug LogLevel 记录消息。 例如,在本文档顶部的代码中调用 ChangeTracker.DetectChanges()启用调试日志记录时,将生成以下日志:

dbug: 12/30/2020 13:52:44.815 CoreEventId.DetectChangesStarting[10800] (Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.ChangeTracking)

模型

用于上述示例的模型包含以下实体类型:

public class Blog
{
    public int Id { get; set; } // Primary key
    public Guid AssetsId { get; set; } // Alternate key
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public IList<Post> Posts { get; } = new List<Post>(); // Collection navigation
    public BlogAssets Assets { get; set; } // Reference navigation
}

public class BlogAssets
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; } // Primary key and foreign key
    public byte[] Banner { get; set; }

    public Blog Blog { get; set; } // Reference navigation
}

public class Post
{
    public int Id { get; set; } // Primary key
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string Content { get; set; }

    public int BlogId { get; set; } // Foreign key
    public Blog Blog { get; set; } // Reference navigation

    public IList<Tag> Tags { get; } = new List<Tag>(); // Skip collection navigation
}

public class Tag
{
    public int Id { get; set; } // Primary key
    public string Text { get; set; }

    public IList<Post> Posts { get; } = new List<Post>(); // Skip collection navigation
}

模型主要通过约定配置,在 OnModelCreating 中只有几行:

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder
        .Entity<Blog>()
        .Property(e => e.AssetsId)
        .ValueGeneratedOnAdd();

    modelBuilder
        .Entity<BlogAssets>()
        .HasOne(e => e.Blog)
        .WithOne(e => e.Assets)
        .HasForeignKey<BlogAssets>(e => e.Id)
        .HasPrincipalKey<Blog>(e => e.AssetsId);
}
