This may not be accurate if the tool is installed locally.

I see. Splitting it up (global / local) would make the error message quite long. Do you still think the benefit is big enough to have it in there?

Having wrong command is worse than having no command.

Well sure. My question is wether we should include both commands.

Seems like a link to conceptual documentation would be better here. Probably pointing to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/miscellaneous/cli/dotnet

I agree a link seems better. But this one does not include the update command for tools.

Yes, the documentation will need to be updated as well.

Please include the most common solution directly in the error message + link for more details. this is how angular cli etc does it and it seems to work well

Stumbled upon this today again. Any chance we can make progress on this (small) issue? Many people need to google on how to update tools. See this popular SO post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52108659/need-to-update-ef-core-tools

Why isn't this merged? Just add the most common command that can be used to fix the error. If the most common command doesn't work (in case of locally installed) then just add a link to documentation.
Why not just put it in error message? You don't need to support every obscure scenario, in 99% cases people install the EF tools together with VS, not locally. |

I don't understand either @janissimsons. There seems to be resistance because of edge-cases, that does more harm then good. |

Thank you @ajcvickers |
