I just downloaded a fresh 4.1.3 template for ASP.NET Core and Angular using the .NET Core 1.1 framework.
With no modifications other than the config settings for the database connection string the database is not getting created using the Migrator or using Package Manager Console "Update-Database" command.
The solution builds, though oddly the migrator executable file is not created.
I followed the instructions from the Getting Started guide, is there something missing?

If I download and use the .Net framework 4.6.1 version of the template I do not have the same problem.

Hi @brallierc,
Did you run Migrator tool using Visual Studio ?
Thanks.

Yes I tried running it from inside visual studio, it builds with no errors, but the output directory doesn't have an executable like the one from the .Net 4.6.1 framework version

Migrator has it's own db settings. Did you configure it in appsettings.json file?

Hi @brallierc,
Yes, it does not contain executables in bin directory. If you need executables, you need to publish Migrator project just like a ASP.NET Website using Visual studio.
Thanks.

Yes I did edit the appSettings to use the correct db connection string. Before anyone else asks me more questions, has anyone downloaded the latest template and made it work. I have tested it from 3 different computers, all have the same result, the migrator does not open the console window and update-database does not work.
Whenever I have ran migrator in the past, when the migrator project compiles it creates a <projectname>.migrator.exe, this template is not creating that file.

Hi @brallierc,
Yes, we have tried it. Once again, .Net Core version does not create <projectname>.migrator.exe in debug mode, this is the expected behaviour. What happens when you right click Migrator project on Visual Studio and select "Debug > Start new instance" ? It should open a console application.
From my previous post:
If you need executables, you need to publish Migrator project just like a ASP.NET Website using Visual studio.

Well it doesn't open a console application... also... UpdateDatabase from the package manager console doesn't work either.
