Instructions for starting the website locally

To start the website, there are a few steps you need to complete.

1. Uncomment modelBuilder.InitialDatabaseSeed(); (ca. line 163) in /ArvidsonFoto/Data/ArvidsonFotoDbContext.cs , to be able to create a new database with its associated data.
2. Run entityframework database updates: dotnet ef database update --context ArvidsonFotoDbContext
dotnet ef database update --context ArvidsonFotoIdentityContext
3. Do you want to create new users to access: https://localhost:44300/UploadAdmin , then you need to comment back all the code on the page: /ArvidsonFoto/Areas/Identity/Pages/Account/Register.cshtml
4. Now you can register new users and then login to the /UploadAdmin page as well.

Create new Migrations

To create a new migration if a data model changes, run the command: dotnet-ef migrations add DatabaseSeed --context ArvidsonFotoDbContext

Error when running with EF-core

If you get an error message while running: dotnet-ef database update , which says:

 Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include: 
  * You misspelled a build-in dotnet command.
  * You intended to execute a .NET program , but dotnet-ef does not exist.
  * You intended to run a global tool, but dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

Then you need to install the dotnet-ef CLI (dotnet entity framework), which is installed via the command:
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

Update entityframework to the latest version

Update your dotnet-ef to version 8.0.0 or higher using the command:
dotnet tool update --global dotnet-ef
