Issue w/ navigation properties

Post by guinness » Wed 07 Jun 2017 20:12

Using 6.1.265 version and I'm having a problem with generated nav props for EF Core. I generated a model from database, but due to a referential integrity issue I had to make a class field nullable.

That worked and made the field nullable in the generated code. However, the nav prop in the context class was incorrect.

GENERATED:

Code: Select all

modelBuilder.Entity<State>().HasOne(x => x.State).WithMany().HasForeignKey(@"StateId");
SHOULD BE:

Code: Select all

modelBuilder.Entity<State>().HasOne(x => x.State).WithMany().IsRequired(false).HasForeignKey(@"StateId");
Is the issue related to the default parameter value for IsRequired()?
IsRequired(bool required = true)

Thank you for your report. We will notify you when generation of .IsRequired(false) is added.

The issue is fixed in Entity Developer v6.1.284. Please try it and notify us about the result.

It appears to be working Shalex. Below is when the FK is not nullable:

Code: Select all

modelBuilder.Entity<State>().HasMany(x => x.Cities).WithOne(op => op.State)
  .IsRequired(true).HasForeignKey(@"StateId");
modelBuilder.Entity<City>().HasOne(x => x.State).WithMany(op => op.Cities)
  .IsRequired(true).HasForeignKey(@"StateId");
When the model is changed to make the FK nullable, the following is generated:

Code: Select all

modelBuilder.Entity<State>().HasMany(x => x.Cities).WithOne(op => op.State)
  .HasForeignKey(@"StateId");
modelBuilder.Entity<City>().HasOne(x => x.State).WithMany(op => op.Cities)
  .IsRequired(false).HasForeignKey(@"StateId");
However, I'm not sure why both lines above don't have IsRequired(false) specifying that the relationship is optional.

The behaviour is changed: IsRequired(false / true) for navigation properties is always generated in EF Core fluent mapping now. Refer to viewtopic.php?f=32&t=35671.
