I know this is a very vague error, but I've posted on the EF Core and CLR git repositories, and they have no idea. I wonder if this might have something to do with dependency injection (I'm using AutoFac).
The error happens about every other time I start a new debugging session. It happens in the constructor of my class which inherits from DbContext, when I am passing the DbContextOptions down to the base.
Exception:
Exception Type: System.ExecutionEngineException
Exception Message="Exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' was thrown."
Stack trace: Empty
protected WinsDbContextBase(DbContextOptions options, ICurrentUserContext userContext)
: base(options) <=== the error occurs on this line
{
... other code here ...
}
I know this is not really enough to go on, but I'm posting this here in hopes that maybe someone else has experienced this and can give me a clue as to where to start digging.
Edit: This came down to a known bug in the CLR and is scheduled to be fixed in 4.8 framework build. The workaround was to add the following to my Machine.config file:
<configuration>
<runtime>
<disableNativeImageLoad>
<assemblyIdentity name="netstandard" />
</disableNativeImageLoad>
</runtime>
</configuration>
