Fluent api mapping not working in specific scenario

Post by strandedpirate » Tue 07 Jan 2014 12:55

I'm getting the following error when I run my application and narrowed down the issue to three tables. Is this a defect in the code generator or the entity framework fluent API?
The specified association foreign key columns "AffiliateId, Name" are invalid. The number of columns specified must match the number of primary key columns.

Notes:
Before purchasing Entity Developer I was manually writing the POCO's and created an entity for the junction table (CategoryAdvertiserCategory) and was able to successfully map everything with the fluent api like so.

Code: Select all

modelBuilder.Entity<CategoryAdvertiserCategory>().HasKey(x => new { x.CategoryId, x.Name, x.AffiliateId });
modelBuilder.Entity<CategoryAdvertiserCategory>().HasRequired(x => x.AdvertiserCategory).WithMany(x => x.Categories).HasForeignKey(x => new { x.Name, x.AffiliateId });
modelBuilder.Entity<CategoryAdvertiserCategory>().HasRequired(x => x.Category).WithMany(x => x.AdvertiserCategories).HasForeignKey(x => x.CategoryId);

This is looking like a fluent API bug. I flip-floped the MapLeftKey and MapRightKey calls and the error went away and the application loaded. Looks like composite keys with more than two fields are mishandled internally by the EF. Probably a simple copy/paste defect.

non-working:

Code: Select all

modelBuilder.Entity<SSISAdvertiserCategory>()
	.HasMany(p => p.Categories)
		.WithMany(c => c.SSISAdvertiserCategories)
	.Map(manyToMany => manyToMany
		.ToTable("SSISCategoryAdvertiserCategory", "dbo")
		.MapLeftKey("CategoryId")
		.MapRightKey("AffiliateId", "Name"));
working:

Code: Select all

modelBuilder.Entity<SSISAdvertiserCategory>()
	.HasMany(p => p.Categories)
		.WithMany(c => c.SSISAdvertiserCategories)
	.Map(manyToMany => manyToMany
		.ToTable("SSISCategoryAdvertiserCategory", "dbo")
		.MapRightKey("CategoryId")
		.MapLeftKey("AffiliateId", "Name"));

Ok, after looking into this a lot more it's clear that this is a defect in the DBContext template. MapLeftKey should be built using association.AssociationMapping.Parent and MapRightKey should be built using association.AssociationMapping.Child

Thank you for your report and a detailed description of the problem. We will post here when the issue is fixed in DbContext template shipped with Entity Developer installation.
