What needs to happen for a release on NuGet. about efcore.fsharp HOT 15 CLOSED

I'm extremely excited for this. I invested a lot of time a few months ago building an F# web app with no persistence layer, thinking "it's all just .NET under the hood, of course EF will just work when I'm ready for it". I congratulated myself for avoiding the overhead of clobbering/recreating the DB in the early stages when everything was in flux. But then I tried to add EF and everything went immediately and thoroughly pear-shaped. It such a headache trying to figure out what compromises and hacks would be required just for the minimal working prototype that the project withered.

I don't even mind having the separate C# assembly just to generate migrations, but if EFCore.FSharp can get EF to work with records with option fields, I'll weep tears of joy.

@bricelam, master is currently good for an alpha1 release, currently targeting EF 2.2

@RonaldDijks, any help at all is appreciated. I'm particularly interested in any ideas that you may have regarding #20

from efcore.fsharp.

Sorry, swamped trying to land the EF Core 3.0 and EF 6.3 releases...

@simontaite Is the code ready to go? (for an alpha1 release) If so, I'll schedule some time to build, sign, and publish it...

from efcore.fsharp.

@bricelam, could you hold off for a couple of hours actually? Think I might have #24 almost working, will let you know soon. Would be good to be able to include automatic registration of converters for option types

lol, hours? I wasn't even thinking about starting for at least a couple of days! 😉

That gives me plenty of time then, nice one!

So what's the current state of affairs?

Is this still going to happen soon?

from efcore.fsharp.

I can't give a timeframe, currently focussed on targeting .NET Core 3.1
Would hope to have a release soon though, haven't been able to give this project much attention recently but have come back on it now

@simontaite I did a lot of the manual work upgrading from (I think) 2.1 -> 3.1 in the repo here.

I think I may have trashed some of the stuff to do with packet etc. However, the main work is located to a few files. I also extended some of the unit testing, including building the generated code. I tried to follow the "spirit" of the OO C# sources as that made/ makes updating far more simple!

I know there are definitely a few more issues with the generated code, although I haven't looked at it in a few months myself.

Thanks.

@DurdSoft
No worries about wrecking paket. I've merged your PR and thank you for the work you've done in upgrading to 3.1 and especially around the unit testing!

Working on fixing paket now and I've got it all building almost perfectly on my own machine so will be pushing some updates either later today or tomorrow

Any thoughts/feedback on what's left for a NuGet release? Sounds like some very positive progress being made above (and with other recent commits) 💪

Any updates for nuget release?
