I am trying to use migrate.exe in my work project and i'm getting the following error.

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at System.Data.Entity.Migrations.Console.Program.Main(String[] args)

The Command: 

d:\Publish\bin>migrate.exe Example.Data.dll /connectionProviderName:"System.Data.SqlClient" /connectionString: "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=ExampleDb;Integrated Security=SSPI;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"

The migrate.exe and the migrate.exe.config file are kept in the bin folder of the Publish while executing this command.

I have gone through this stackoverflow question and also this msdn link but am not able to figure out what is missing.

I created a test console project and was able to execute the process successfully with similar configurations except that instead of dll it was an exe.

Any help appreciated. Thank You.

  • Assuming the colon instead of equal and the white space don't matter? I only ask since the error indicates a parameter issue. – Steve Greene Mar 03 '15 at 14:40

Try to use startupDirectory parameter as it is described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/jj618307.aspx
