Error: The string argument 'name' cannot be empty when I scaffolding Sqlite database

See original GitHub issue

I have a Sqlite database that has this table:

CREATE TABLE [Mytable](
  [ID] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL UNIQUE, 
  [Name] VARCHAR NOT NULL UNIQUE, 
  UNIQUE([Name]));

I am trying to scaffold this database, I am using this command:

Scaffold-DbContext "Filename=Planos.sqlite" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite -UseDatabaseNames -OutputDir Entidades

But I get this error:

System.ArgumentException: The string argument 'name' cannot be empty.
