Cannot use update database or add migration.

[atilao4501]

Hi, i just started to learn .NET and this is my first project. I use JetBrains Rider on linux (Mint) and i was trying to create migrations and update my database using the efcore, but it doesnt work, it says that cant find the dotnet ef. But when i run on my terminal it works.

translation:

`/home/atila/.dotnet/dotnet ef database update --project GeekShopping.ProductApi/GeekShopping.ProductApi.csproj --startup-project GeekShopping.ProductApi/GeekShopping.ProductApi.csproj --context GeekShopping.ProductApi.Model.Context.MySqlContext --configuration Debug 20240221142417_AddProductDataTableOnDb

The specified command or file was not found.

Possible reasons for this include:

• You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
• You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-ef does not exist.
• You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

Process finished with exit code 1.
`

and thats my PATH:

Hi @atilao4501, I can't tell for sure but seems like your shell configuration that Rider uses has the incorrect dotnet tools location.

Please try to troubleshoot the problem using this guide. This is probably not a plugin issue.

Also please check which shell is used in Settings | Tools | Terminal. It may be different from Zsh.

[atilao4501]

Rider is using Zsh

and the dotnet CLI path is correct too:

i Can use dotnet ef from zsh :

but i still cant use in EF CORE.

I have identical issue.

Could you folks try to configure .bashrc the same way you configured .zshrc? It may help as a workaround while fix is coming.

[atilao4501]

Tried it and it doesnt work either:
thats my .bashrc

changed the rider terminal to bash:

and it doesnt work,
PS: it does work when i run on a external bash terminal.

[seclerp]

Did you tried restarting Rider after changing .bashrc?

[atilao4501]

yes sir.

[seclerp]

From which environment do you start Rider? Is it from a superuser or your regular one? It would be great if you share your launcher configuration if it's possible and presented.

[atilao4501]

i open it using my regular user and i installed it using snap:

env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/rider_rider.desktop /snap/bin/rider %f

for translation, it can read and write.

Please try to find the "IDE Scripting Console" in Search Everywhere (Shift, Shift), then type there System.getenv("PATH") and press Ctrl + Enter. This should dump your $PATH variable used while running Rider. Please check if there is a .tools folder entry from your .zshrc.

mine

Please follow the instructions from

System.getenv("PATH")
[0 ms]=> /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

It means that your user profile environment differs from the one you use in the external terminal and in the terminal tool window inside Rider (it works there because we spawn a new terminal session using a dedicated login shell).

So the only way to solve this issue correctly is to launch Rider from the same environment as your normal user profile-based terminal work.

open -a Rider in console
and EF tool works:

[mierzvoj]

thank you

System.getenv("PATH")
[410 ms]=> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/snap/bin

thats mine, still doesnt work.

Tried this but didnt work:
open -a Rider in console
and EF tool works:

Hello everybody,

first at all, rider updates the .profile file when you install the ef-tools with rider.

Not only rider needs a restart, you need to log out and log in again to make the changes take any effect. To be sure just restart your entire system.

There are no other action needed like modifying the shortcut or starting rider from the shell.

Please read this before modifying .bashrc.

Here some screenshots...

I also have this problem. I added the path in ~/.profile

If I open a terminal (fish terminal, had to add it to PATH in a different way), echo $PATH displays it

If I open Rider, open the terminal, echo $PATH doesn't show it.

If I open Rider from the terminal, then it works.

Changing Rider terminal to fish doesn't help either.

One work-around is in Settings|Tools|Terminal, Environment Variables, copy the system value and add it in the custom variables zone with the new value. That's hacky but it works...
