Steps:

  1. My solution in Visual Studio builds and runs smoothly
  2. I open ABP Suite to update an entity
  3. Clic on Save and Generate
  4. It gives me a build error

Side note: All existing entities in the solution were created using ABP Suite.

    1. Solution

    • What happened

      • ABP Suite successfully generated code up to the EF Core migration step, then failed when running the command it shows in your log:
        • cd /d "...\src\Aludoc.EntityFrameworkCore" && dotnet ef migrations add Added_Company --startup-project ../Aludoc.HttpApi.Host --output-dir Migrations --context AludocDbContext
      • “Error occurred on DB migration step: Build started...” means the build of your solution (as invoked by dotnet ef) failed. Suite truncates the actual compiler error, so you only see the build started line.

    • Fix it step by step

      1. Reproduce the exact migration command locally to see the full error

        • Open a terminal
        • cd /d C:\Users\alutel\Documents\Projects\Aludoc\src\Aludoc.EntityFrameworkCore
        • Run: dotnet ef migrations add Added_Company --startup-project ../Aludoc.HttpApi.Host --output-dir Migrations --context AludocDbContext
        • You will now get the full build/compile error. Fix that error; then re-run the command until it succeeds. Common issues:
          • Missing or mismatched TargetFramework between projects used by dotnet ef (EntityFrameworkCore and HttpApi.Host).
          • PackageReference mismatches (EF Core / ABP versions must match across projects).
          • A compile error introduced by Suite into:
            • AludocDbContextModelCreatingExtensions or a second similarly named file
            • IAludocDbContext/DbContext interface vs implementation
            • ObjectMapping profiles
            • New DTO/AppService validation attributes
          • Design-time DbContext factory (IDesignTimeDbContextFactory) referencing wrong configuration or failing on module dependencies.
          • A non-supported type in your entity metadata (e.g., Phone as short is often too small for phone numbers; use string).

      2. If you keep two DbContext model-creating extension classes, merge into one

        • Suite expects a single *DbContextModelCreatingExtensions file per DbContext. If you have both “AludocDbContextModelCreatingExtensions” and an additional “AludocCustomDbContextModelCreatingExtensions”, Suite may mis-detect and the generated code can break the build.
        • Quick workaround:
          • Keep a single AludocDbContextModelCreatingExtensions class that contains ConfigureAludoc(ModelBuilder builder) with both generated and custom configuration in order you need.
          • After generation succeeds, you can keep your manual section at the end.

      3. Validate the entity property types and constraints

        • In your JSON, Phone is defined as short. Replace with string to avoid unexpected mapping/validation or UI issues.
        • Ensure all MaxLength attributes are consistent across Domain, DbContext Fluent API, and DTOs.

      4. Ensure references used by dotnet ef build are correct

        • The EF command uses ../Aludoc.HttpApi.Host as startup project. Make sure HttpApi.Host:
          • References the EF Core project (directly or indirectly through the infrastructure chain).
          • Compiles under the same .NET SDK version you’re using from the CLI.
          • Has the same ABP and EF Core versions aligned with the solution.

      5. If you want to generate without DB migration to proceed

        • In ABP Suite for the entity, uncheck “ShouldAddMigration” and “ShouldUpdateDatabase” and Save & Generate again. This lets you generate backend/UI and fix the migration separately once the build error is identified.

      6. After you can run dotnet ef successfully

        • Re-run Save & Generate in Suite with migration enabled, or:
        • Keep handling migrations manually:
          • dotnet ef migrations add <Name> --startup-project ../Aludoc.HttpApi.Host --output-dir Migrations --context AludocDbContext
          • dotnet ef database update --startup-project ../Aludoc.HttpApi.Host --context AludocDbContext

    • Notes aligning with ABP conventions

      • ABP solutions commonly run migrations from the EF Core project with the HttpApi.Host (or DbMigrator) as startup. The failure message you saw is typical when the build fails under dotnet ef context rather than in Visual Studio. Running the same command from terminal reveals the actual compile error to fix.
      • Keeping a single *DbContextModelCreatingExtensions per DbContext avoids Suite’s parser confusion during code-gen.

    Running in the terminal the proposed steps:

    Reproduce the exact migration command locally to see the full error

    1. Open a terminal
    2. cd /d C:\Users\alutel\Documents\Projects\Aludoc\src\Aludoc.EntityFrameworkCore
    3. Run: dotnet ef migrations add Added_Company --startup-project ../Aludoc.HttpApi.Host --output-dir Migrations --context AludocDbContext

    Gives the following error, and not sure what to do
