ASP.NET 5 multiple dbcontext problems

Question

I'm playing around with the new ASP.NET 5 beta 8 and having trouble when I have two dbcontext.

I have the following project structure.

-Data(Identity 3 db with other entities)
-Resources (Contains a db with translations)
-WebApp 

Stripped away some code in Startup.cs in WebApp

 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
 {
        services.AddEntityFramework()
            .AddSqlServer()
            .AddDbContext<DatabaseContext>(opt => opt.UseSqlServer(Configuration["Data:MainDb:ConnectionString"]));

        services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>()
            .AddEntityFrameworkStores<DatabaseContext>()
            .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

        services.AddEntityFramework()
            .AddSqlServer()
            .AddDbContext<ResourceDbContext>(opt => opt.UseSqlServer(Configuration["Data:Resources:ConnectionString"]));

        services.AddTransient<IResourceDbContext, ResourceDbContext>();
        services.AddTransient<IDatabaseContext, DatabaseContext>();
}

In both ResourceDbContext and DatabaseContext I do the following

    public ResourceDbContext(DbContextOptions options) : base(options)
    {
        _connectionString = ((SqlServerOptionsExtension)options.Extensions.First()).ConnectionString;
    }


    protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder options)
    {
        options.UseSqlServer(_connectionString);
    }

However when I read my connectionstrings from appsettings.json I receive the correct values in ConfigureServices. But the DbContextOptions only contains the latest loaded value, in this case the connectionstring for Resources. So both dbcontext establishes a connection to Resource db.

I'm unable to find any information about this.

All you need to do is indicate that DbContextOptions is a generic type:

public ResourceDbContext(DbContextOptions<ResourceDbContext> options) : base(options)
{

}

Now the dependency injection system can find the right dependency (DbContextOptions options) at the moment it creates ResourceDbContext and injects it into the constructor.

See implementation AddDbContext method

For Miroslav Siska:

public class GetHabitsIdentity: IdentityDbContext<GetHabitsUser, IdentityRole, string> where TUser : IdentityUser
{
    public GetHabitsIdentity(DbContextOptions<GetHabitsIdentity> options)
        :base(options)
    {

    }        
}
