Add EF Core Sqlite Provider exception

I add another SQLite provider, like EF Core SQLite to project will throw exception from run project .UseSQLiteStorage().

Exception thrown: 'System.MissingMethodException' in SQLite-net.dll
An exception of type 'System.MissingMethodException' occurred in SQLite-net.dll but was not handled in user code
Method not found: 'System.String SQLitePCL.raw.sqlite3_column_name(SQLitePCL.sqlite3_stmt, Int32)'.

In ASP.NET Core 3.1 API PoC project,

.csproj

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Hangfire.Core" Version="1.7.*" />
  <PackageReference Include="Hangfire.AspNetCore" Version="1.7.*" />
  <PackageReference Include="Hangfire.Storage.SQLite" Version="0.2.4" />
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite" Version="3.1.2" />
</ItemGroup>

startup.cs

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddHangfire(configuration => configuration
        .UseSimpleAssemblyNameTypeSerializer()
        .UseRecommendedSerializerSettings()
        .UseSQLiteStorage());
    services.AddHangfireServer();
    services.AddControllers();
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    if (env.IsDevelopment())
    {
        app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
    }

    app.UseRouting();
    app.UseAuthorization();

    app.UseHangfireDashboard();
    BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello backgroundjobs."));
    RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate("Hello", () => Console.WriteLine("Hello, recurringJob."), Cron.Minutely);

   app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
    {
        endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
            name: "default",
            pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
        endpoints.MapControllers();
    });
}

This is due to HangFire.Storage.SQLite’s underlying dependency on the sqlite-net-pcl package, which was built using an older version of SQLitePCL.raw (v1.1 or newer).

SQLitePCL.raw introduced breaking changes in the 2.0 version. (see: Changes in SQLitePCLRaw 2.0)

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite (>= 3.0) has a dependency on SQLitePCL.raw v2.0 (or newer)

This version incompatibility between SQLitePCL.raw v1.x and v2.x is causing the issue (see: /sqlite-net/issues/920)

I encountered this same issue recently… As usual, it took 10 times longer to identify the problem than to resolve it.

@kkbruce Since you are using EF Core 3.0, the resolution should be simple. For now, just add the sqlite-net-pcl Nuget package to your project, but specify the “1.7.302-beta” prerelease version of the package. This beta version of sqlite-net-pcl depends on SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_green (>= 2.0.1), and should override the older version of sqlite-net-pcl that is defined by HangFire.Storage.SQLite

@felixclase, While Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite 3.0+ depends on SQLitePCLRaw v2.0+, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite 2.x still depends on SQLitePCLRaw v1.1.12, and is not compatible with v2.0. I’m guessing that EF Core 3.0 support would require a “.NETStandard,Version=2.1” dependency that references “sqlite-net-pcl (>= 1.7.302-beta)”, while EF Core 2.2 support would require a “.NETStandard,Version=2.0” dependency that references “sqlite-net-pcl (>= 1.6.292)”

Hope this info helps!
