If you have switched your .NET Core project from xproj to csproj (MSBuild) and updated the nuget packages then you may run into an issue when executing some of the dotnet ef-commands.
Configuration is one of the most prominent cornerstones in software systems, and especially in distributed systems. And it has been a point for discussions in .NET for quite some time.
With the introduction of .NET Core we got a framework that works not just on Windows, but on Linux and macOS as well. One of the best parts of .NET Core is that the APIs stayed almost the same compared to the old .NET, meaning developers can use their .NET skills to build cross-platform applications. The bad part is that the static types and classes without abstractions are still there as well.
With the new .NET Core framework and libraries we have got an interface called Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger to be used for writing log messages. Various 3rd party and built-in components make very good use of it. To see how much is being logged just create a simple Web API using Entity Framework (EF) and the Kestrel server and in a few minutes you will get thousands of log messages.
