Asp.net core - no such table: AspNetUsers

Question

So im trying to implment user login for my a asp.net core application. Im following the microsoft tutorial here. I have two contexts, one called SchoolContext for saving all the school related models, and another context called ApplicationDbContext for the Account models. This is all being saved to a sqlite database.
Everything works fine, up until I try to register a user to my context. When I try to register a user i get, cant find AspNetUsers table error. If I look in the database I don’t see the AspNetUser table. I tried adding migrations, but i still get that same error. Why is the table not being created ?

        public IConfigurationRoot Configuration { get; }

                .AddEnvironmentVariables();
            Configuration = builder.Build();
        }

Answer 1

It sounds like you forgot to call update-database in the package manager console. That's what actually applies the migrations you create to your connected database(s).

The other issue may be with how you updated the table name(s). If you edited the migrations directly, it has no way to know that you changed the name at run-time and will still look for the default named tables.

To change the user table name, you want to do something like this in your DB context in the OnModelCreating method:

protected override void OnModelCreating( ModelBuilder builder ) {
    base.OnModelCreating( builder );
    // Customize the ASP.NET Identity model and override the defaults if needed.
    // For example, you can rename the ASP.NET Identity table names and more.
    // Add your customizations after calling base.OnModelCreating(builder);

    builder.Entity<ApplicationUser>() //Use your application user class here
           .ToTable( "ContosoUsers" ); //Set the table name here
}

You'll then want to create a migration to make sure everything is updated by running the following in the package manager console:

add-migration RenamedUserTable

Then run a quick update-database and try again.

I was getting same issue which I fixed by providing table name in OnModelCreating method.

protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
        {
            string SQLLiteConnectionString = @"Data Source=C:/Projects/ArticlesDB.db";
            optionsBuilder.UseSqlite(SQLLiteConnectionString);             
        }
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            modelBuilder.Entity<Articles>().ToTable("Articles");
            modelBuilder.Entity<Articles>(entity =>
            {
                entity.Property(e => e.Id).IsRequired();
            });
        }
