Research direction

Start with the Script-Migration, Get-Migration, and Get-DbContext -Context command entry points; Update-Database is already covered by issue #33732. Trace how each command can detect pending model changes and review the existing --json behavior from PR #31164. Done means the remaining commands warn when a new migration could be added, without changing the already completed cases.

Description

area-migrations area-tools

We should warn during the following commands when there are pending model changes that can be added to a new migration.

  • Update-Database (dotnet ef database update) done in https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/33732
  • Script-Migration (dotnet ef migration script)
  • Get-Migration (dotnet ef migration list)
  • Get-DbContext -Context (dotnet ef dbcontext info)
    • Note, the output of this command could also be used programmatically (via --json) to test if there are any pending model changes (PR #31164)
