Runtime System.Exception when ContextSchemaPath is defined

Start with the ContextSchemaPath behavior and the FSharp.Data.Sql.Providers.MySql.findClrType@91-1 stack-trace entry, then reproduce the database operation using the listed steps. Done means a cached schema supports design-time and compile-time use without being loaded during runtime database operations, so the insert no longer raises System.Exception: !.

Description

When the ContextSchemaPath locally cached schema file is defined and present, SQLProvider returns System.Exception: ! when performing database operations at runtime.

Repro steps

1. Generate a local schema file with ContextSchemaPath as described in the documentation

2. Debug the project

3. Perform a database operation. The following exception is raised:

Expected behavior

The type provider should not attempt to load the ContextSchemaPath at runtime since it is not a data source and will never work. It should only load at design-time and compile-time to allow development and compilation (build server) without a full-time database connection.

Known workarounds

Workarounds are to either not use the ContextSchemaPath at all, or delete the cached schema file each time debugging is needed.
