The
./test/EFCore.MySql.IntegrationTests/scripts/rebuild.ps1script was failing in GitHub Actions with "Build failed. Use dotnet build to see the errors." because it attempted to run Entity Framework Core commands without ensuring the project was properly restored and built first.Problem
The original script sequence was:
dotnet tool restore(fails due to network/package issues)dotnet ef database drop -f(fails: "Run dotnet tool restore")dotnet ef migrations add Initial(fails: "Run dotnet tool restore")dotnet ef database update(fails: "Run dotnet tool restore")This caused cascading failures because EF Core tools require a successfully built project to operate.
Solution
Enhanced the rebuild script with proper .NET workflow:
dotnet restore --ignore-failed-sourceswith error handlingdotnet build -c Debug --no-restorewith error handlingdotnet tool restorewith global fallback installationKey Improvements
--ignore-failed-sourcesto handle connectivity issuesTest-Pathbefore file operationsThe script now follows .NET best practices: restore → build → tools → EF operations, which should resolve the GitHub Actions CI failures.
Fixes #84.
