SQLite + Delete.Column(): table column still there after migration

This is very likely an issue with my usage, but I haven’t found any indication as to why in the docs or on forums. I have an SQLite database and the following migration:

[Migration(3)]
public class _003_add_surname_column : Migration
{
    public override void Up()
    {
        Rename.Column("name").OnTable("Test").To("forename");
        Alter.Table("Test").AddColumn("surname").AsString(50).Nullable();
    }

    public override void Down()
    {
        Delete.Column("surname").FromTable("Test");
        Rename.Column("forename").OnTable("Test").To("name");
    }
}

Migrating up works fine. Migrating down performs the column rename (from “forename” to “name”), but leaves the “surname” column in the table. I expected that column to be gone. Am I missing something? Or is that the intended behaviour?

Using FluentMigrator version 1.6.2, System.Data.SQLite.1.0.99.0, .NET 4.5.1.

Thanks!

dotnet is considering to update the version of sqlite: https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/24834 Also the System.Data.SQLite.Core will be updated very soon: https://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/news.wiki

I think for a start, FluentMigrator should probably throw and exception when an unsupported migration is run. Then for later, look at if it’s possible to do the workaround hacks with renaming table, create new table, copy data from old table.
