Update Database - Connection

Describe the bug

When using the Update Database feature, it’s not possible to specify a non-default connection

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In Rider, select Tools : Entity Framework Core : Update Database
2. Uncheck “Use default connection of startup project”
3. Enter a connection string without surrounding quotes, or a connection name without surrounding quotes
4. Click preview and note how the connection string is specified in the command with escaped quotes around the connection string.

dotnet ef database update --project my.csproj --startup-project my.csproj --context myContext --configuration Debug myBranch --connection \"connectionName\"

1. Click OK and see error message.

Expected behavior

The connection string in the command should be included in the command with unescaped quotes, and the update should execute.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• .NET SDK info (installed ones and version used within Rider): 6.0
• Plugin version: 222.1.0
• Rider version: 2022.2.1

Thanks for the report, seems like double escaping is accidentally applied somewhere in the code. For a temporary workaround, you could try to use “Additional arguments” field if it work for you.
