EF Core tools version update 2.1.1

Question

If I run dotnet ef add testmigration

I get this warning: The EF Core tools version \'2.1.0-rtm-30799\' is older than that of the runtime \'2.1.1-r

Answer 1

Ok.

Turns out that this is caused by having the second latest sdk installed (2.1.301), but somewhere in the path a global.json pinned to version 2.1.300.

Answer 2

This error is also shown when you select a different project on Package Manager Console rather than the Entity Framework project in your solution.

Answer 3

install-package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools -Version 2.1.8

did it for me

Answer 4

I was having this exact problem. I tried deleting bin folders and rebuilding as others have suggested but that never worked. Finally I updated the SDK to 2.1.403 and the issue was resolved.
