Scaffold Identity omits custom ApplicationUser

From @Ponant on July 19, 2018 15:25

Works

1. New project 2.1 MVC with no auth
2. Scaffold identity and choose the plus button for the user class

The resulting code is expected because it refers to ApplicationUser

public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser> services.AddDefaultIdentity<ApplicationUser>()

Does not work

1. New project 2.1 MVC with no auth
2. Create a class ApplicationUser that derives from IdentityUser public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
3. Scaffold identity and choose the dropdown button for the user class

The resulting code is unexpected because it refers to IdentityUser. ApplicationUser is totally ignored

public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<IdentityUser> services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>()

Bug?

@Ponant - I’ve tracked down the root cause of this issue - it’s in the VS integration of the identity scaffolder. When I know which release the fix will be available in, I’ll update you here.

Yes, I also have been struggling with this today. I had to scaffold and then manually find/replace all instances of IdentityUser with my custom ApplicationUser in the scaffolded files.
