Entity Framework Code First: "The specified table 'foo' was not found in the model."

Question

Haven't seen this error before, and a cursory web search turns up very little. Here's (I think) the offending code:

this.HasMany(a => a.ListItems).WithRequired()
    .Map(m =>
        {
            m.MapKey("AttributeId");
            m.ToTable("ProductAttributeListItem");
        }
    )
;

And here's the full error:

The specified table 'ProductAttributeListItem' was not found in the model. Ensure that the table name has been correctly specified.

The table is there and spelled correctly.

The lack of search results makes me think I'm missing something obvious. What might that be?

Answer 1

If you want to define the table name of the entity ListItems is refering to you need to do that on the entity, not in the relationship mapping:

modelBuilder.Entity<ListItem>() // or whatever the entity is called
    .ToTable("ProductAttributeListItem");

And remove m.ToTable from the Map action.
