Visual Studio 2022 (17.11.6) .Net 8.0
I have a project where I currently need to update my model after I added a field to the DB. I run the following scaffolding command using the Package Manager Console:
Scaffold-DbContext 'Name=ConnectionStrings:'Entities' Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -Force -Context EntityContext
It successfully builds the project, but then throws the following error:
The specified deps.json [\\SomeServer\ThisProject\bin\Debug\net8.0\ThisProject.deps.json] does not exist
However, if I copy that exact folder path (except the leading two escape slashes) and paste it into Windows Explorer, it brings me to that folder and the file "ThisProject.deps.json" is in there.
I have tried deleting the "obj" and "bin" and ".vs" folders. No change. I have tried deleting the "ThisProject.deps.json" file itself. It just gets recreated every time I build the project. I have tried updated Visual Studio. No change. I have tried updated all my Entity Framework packages. No change. I have tried setting this as the default project (there is only one project in this solution so I don't see how that would matter anyway). No change.
I will note that where I work requires me to run this project as admin.
Use Scaffold-dbcontext and Add-Migration command, it will show the error message The specified deps.json [\\SomeServer\ThisProject\bin\Debug\net8.0\ThisProject.deps.json] does not exist if we are executing from a network drive that begins with two slashes. i.e. "\SomeServer...".
And it is working perfectly on local drive.
