scaffolder doesn't use plural from DbSet

new shorter instructions

1. Create a RP web app named RazorPagesMovie
2. Follow these instructions EXCEPT - name the DbSet plural public DbSet<Movie> Movies { get; set; }

This tutorial had 30K confirming it works until an update was made to change to the plural public DbSet<Movie> Movies { get; set; }

– what follows is essentially the same instructions

In VS, create a new Razor Pages (RP) app named ContosoUniversity Create a Models folder. In the Models folder, create a class file named Student.cs and replace the code with the following:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace ContosoUniversity.Models
{
    public class Student
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }
        public string FirstMidName { get; set; }
        public DateTime EnrollmentDate { get; set; }
    }
}

In the Data folder create a new class file named SchoolContext.cs, and replace the template code with the following code:

using ContosoUniversity.Models;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

namespace ContosoUniversity.Data
{
    public class SchoolContext : DbContext
    {
        public SchoolContext(DbContextOptions<SchoolContext> options) : base(options)
        {
        }

        public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }

        protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {

            modelBuilder.Entity<Student>().ToTable("Student");
        }
    }
}

Add SchoolContext to the DI container:

// ADD EF using
// using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddDbContext<Data.SchoolContext>(options =>
        options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

    services.AddMvc();
}

Open the appsettings.json file and add a connection string as shown in the following code:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=ContosoUniversity1;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
  },
  "Logging": {
    "IncludeScopes": false,
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Warning"
    }
  }
}

In the Package Manager Console (PMC), enter the following commands:

Install-Package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design -Version 2.0.0
Add-Migration Initial
Update-Database

*Scaffold the model

dotnet aspnet-codegenerator razorpage -m Student -dc SchoolContext -udl -outDir Pages\CU --referenceScriptLibraries

Build the project. You get errors error CS1061: 'SchoolContext' does not contain a definition for 'Student' and no extension method 'Student'

Here is the generated code: _context.Student.Add(Student); It should be plural _context.Students.Add(Student);

@mwhitis According to https://github.com/aspnet/Scaffolding/pull/676, yes … it was fixed. This issue (#633) was fixed on https://github.com/aspnet/Scaffolding/pull/667.
