Help with my configuration: Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0 ...

[guardrex]

Feels like I haven't configured something correctly. This is a CoreCLR project on Win7 x64 with runtime dnx-coreclr-win-x64.1.0.0-beta5-xxxxx. Latest xxxxx is 11760 (5/14).

project.json dependencies

EntityFramework.SqlServer: 7.0.0-beta5-*
EntityFramework.Commands: 7.0.0-beta5-*

project.json commands

"ef": "EntityFramework.Commands"

Startup.cs ConfigureServices

services.AddEntityFramework()
    .AddSqlServer()
    .AddDbContext<DbDbContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(config.Get("Database")));

Model

namespace MyApp.Models {
    public class DbDbContext : DbContext {

        public DbSet<Test> Tests { get; set; }

        protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder) {
            builder.Entity<Test>().Property(typeof(int), "id").ForSqlServer().UseIdentity();
            base.OnModelCreating(builder);
        }

    }

    public class Test {
        [Key]
        public int id { get; set; }
        public string field1 { get; set; }
        public int field2 { get; set; }
    }
}

Executing from an elevated command line dnx . ef results in ...

@guardrex could you share your full project.json file?

@bricelam If it doesn't look simple to repro from my description, I can put together a repo project for you.

[bricelam]

Try updating this line to beta5-*:

"Microsoft.AspNet.Diagnostics.Entity": "7.0.0-beta4"

[guardrex]

I tried both 7.0.0-* and 7.0.0-beta5-*, which gave me the same v.13033 package. Same result ... Could not load file or assembly System, Version 4.0.0.0 ...

@lajones, This is the issue @davidfowl and I mentioned in your first Templating PR.
