Keyword not supported : 'host' error when migration ef on POSTGRESQL

Question

Currently I am doing database migration using MVC6 on .netcore 2.0. here is the link that I am following, to migrate POSTGRESQL : https://damienbod.com/2016/01/11/asp-net-5-with-postgresql-and-entity-framework-7/

in my appsettings.json:

    {
  "Logging": {
    "IncludeScopes": false,
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Warning"
    }
  },
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DataAccessPostgreSqlProvider": "User ID=ids;Password=****;Host=127.0.0.1;Port=5432;Database=IDS;Pooling=true;"
  }
}

I start migrate using the following command:

dotnet ef migrations add testPG

it is successful and no error at all but when I tried to run the following command on command prompt, the error is coming out.

dotnet ef database update

here is the error what I saw on cmd.

can somebody pls enlighten me to this?

Make sure that the class which implements IDesignTimeDbContextFactory contains the correct DB definition for PostgreSQL. Pay attention to this line builder.UseNpgsql(connectionString); here:

public class DesignTimeDbContextFactory : IDesignTimeDbContextFactory<DomainModelPostgreSqlContext>
{
    public DomainModelPostgreSqlContext CreateDbContext(string[] args)
    {
        IConfigurationRoot configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
            .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
            .Build();
        var builder = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<DomainModelPostgreSqlContext>();
        var connectionString = configuration.GetConnectionString("DataAccessPostgreSqlProvider");
        builder.UseNpgsql(connectionString);
        return new DomainModelPostgreSqlContext(builder.Options);
    }
}
