Setting -TargetMigration with EF core

Question

I am trying to target a previous applied migration using dotnet ef -TargetMigration: {MigrationName}

getting below error

Unrecognized option '-TargetMigration:0'

Is this command has been removed in Entity Framework Core? Is there any alternative for this?

You can use as shown below on the package manager console :

 PM > Update-Database [[-Migration] <String>]

Parameter :

-Migration <String>

this only works from with in VS.NET on the Package Management Console. – mvermef Sep 15 '16 at 16:19
I have a feeling that he isn't using VS.NET :( – mvermef Sep 15 '16 at 16:25
I am using `.net core` project. I cannot use Package manager for that as i have a separate class library for datacontext. – Venkata Dorisala Sep 15 '16 at 16:51
if you're using `VS` then you can select your `CL` within `PMC` no ? what is the issue there ? – Sampath Sep 15 '16 at 16:54

Remember its totally different from what you expect...

dotnet ef migrations list dotnet ef migrations [arg] {option}

dotnet ef migrations add [name]

" " " remove //removes last

as per the instructions manually removing the changes from the database if it has been applied already. e.g dotnet ef database update.

When i run this i am getting `Unrecognized command or argument 'migration'` – Venkata Dorisala Sep 15 '16 at 15:39
It should be migration**s** – bricelam Sep 15 '16 at 15:47
It's not working. I think the only allowed commands for `migrations` are `add`, `list`, `remove`, `script`. If i run you command. It is not recognizing `migrationname` and throwing unrecognized command error. – Venkata Dorisala Sep 15 '16 at 15:55
remember the CLI dotnet commands are slight different from the PMC commands – mvermef Sep 15 '16 at 16:20
