Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Help generating an EDMX on EF6

[Jiří Č. <ji...@ci...>]

The EF_6 is there for EntityFramework.Firebird, as there’s some shared code.

Hey Jiri,

Thanks for your response.

I downloaded the source code (NETProvider-4.6.2.0-src.7z) from the Firebirdsql.org site.
Built it, copied the libraries to my projects packages directory. Same thing happened.

So I started crawling around the code to see what I can find.
First thing I noticed, the conditional compilation symbols in the properties of the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient
project’s Build tab is missing the EF_6 symbol.

I’ve added that to my copy and attempted to rebuild it. Got some build errors that I’m trying to resolve concerning
using FirebirdSql.Data.Entity;
in FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient/FbProviderManifest.

While I am working on that, I wanted to check to make sure that the EF_6 compilation symbol was set in the
build you made for the NuGet package. It could explain why I am getting the error I receive when
trying to generate an edmx.

Don’t know how close the source code that I downloaded is to what you used to generate
the NuGet package. But it was something that jumped out at me.

Hi,

Your set up looks correct, but EF cannot load the provider for some reason.

What I haven’t tried is using embedded FB with EF6 and EDMX – as the provider with embedded needs some IL emit and the provider is now executed in copyied sandboxed environment it might be an issue. Just guessing. Maybe try (for development) use server.

Or maybe you can get this https://github.com/cincuranet/EF6_Firebird/tree/master/EDMX and start from it.

Hey all,

I’ve been beating my head against the wall this past week trying to get this solved.
After reading Jiri’s blog on upgrading to EF6 and going through the email archives,
I haven’t found a solution. After trying everything I can think of I am out of ideas.

Here what is happening. I am trying to upgrade to EF6. Everything looks good on the install.
I can build and run but when I try to generate an EDMX, I get the following error.
