The ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client' is either not registered in the machine or application config file

Suddenly i can't run

add-migration a -ProjectName MyProject.Model -ConnectionString "Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=1.1.1.1)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=mydb)));Persist Security Info=True;User Id=myuser;Password=xxxx;" -ConnectionProviderName "Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client"

anymore, It gives me 

The ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client' is either not registered in the machine or application config file, or could not be loaded. See the inner exception for details.

I tried reinstalling Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client for the project but it doesn't help.

Solution

  • Not sure what it was but at some point I saw EntityFramework related errors so I updated EntityFramework to the latest 6.2.0 for all project and the error is gone now
