      • dotnet ef migrations add ManualInitial -p Libraries/Db/Db.Infrastructure -s Libraries/Db/Db.API -o Migrations/Manual -c ManualContext
      • dotnet ef migrations add IdentityInitial -p Libraries/Db/Db.Infrastructure -s Libraries/Db/Db.API -o Migrations/Identity -c IdentityContext
   5. Verify that the src/Libraries/Db/Db.Infrastructure/Migrations folder now has two subfolders with content
   6. Run the following commands:
      • dotnet ef database update -p Libraries/Db/Db.API -c ManualContext
      • dotnet ef database update -p Libraries/Db/Db.API -c IdentityContext

Troubleshooting

Missing DOTNET EF tool

To download the EF tool, run the following command in a terminal: dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 5.0.0

Run dotnet ef --version afterwards to make sure the correct tool version is installed.

Running the application

When working on/testing the front-end application, the database server must be running in the background.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. In Visual Studio open View -> Terminal
2. Navigate to src/Libraries/Db/Db.API
3. Enter the following command into the terminal: dotnet run

To terminate the running application, press Ctrl+C in the terminal.

With the database application running in the background, the MRI.Application can be run using Visual Studio directly.
