ASP.NET MVC6 scaffolding doesn't work in BETA 8

I'm using ASP.NET Beta 8 trying to get scaffolding to work but it getting an issue with the Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration

My project.json

"commands": {
    "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel",
    "ef": "EntityFramework.Commands",
    "gen": "Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration"
  },

Command :

dnx gen controller -Name ModelClassName--datacontext MyDbContext --model ModelClassName

Error:

dnx : Error: Unable to load application or execute command 'Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration'. Available commands: web, ef, gen.

This package is on Nuget but it hasn't been updated for Beta 8.

Only version is Beta 5. Link

When I install this Beta 5 package

Install-Package Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration -Pre

and run the same scaffolding command I get the error:

Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.Framework.Runtime.ILibraryManager'

This makes me think scaffolding doesn't work in Beta 8.

In Visual Studio 2015, you should add a package source that points to aspnetmaster.

Go to Tools->Options->NuGet Package Manager->Package Sources Add a new package name it whatever you like ex. mygetv3 an set the source to https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetmaster/api/v3/index.json

Place it first in the list.

In project.json -> "dependencies" add "Microsoft.Framework.CodeGenerators.Mvc": "1.0.0-beta8" and in "commands" add "gen": "Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration"

now you can use it as you did in beta5 ex.:

dnx gen controller -name NameController --dataContext DbContext --model ModelName -l _Layout -f

In rc-update1, the namespaces have changed:

FROM: Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration

TO: Microsoft.Extensions.CodeGeneration

So instead of installing Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration, just add Microsoft.Extensions.CodeGenerators.Mvc to your project.json

project.json

"dependencies": {
...
"Microsoft.Extensions.CodeGenerators.Mvc": "1.0.0-rc1-final",
}

"commands": {
...
"gen": "Microsoft.Extensions.CodeGeneration"
}

Customizing the MVC6 scaffolding templates

To customize the MVC6 scaffolding templates, you will find them in the folder: C:\Users\ {user} .dnx\packages\Microsoft.Extensions.CodeGenerators.Mvc\ 1.0.0-rc1-final \Templates

To create a project specific set of templates, just copy the Templates folder into the root folder of your project (i.e. same folder as project.json) and when you use dnx gen scaffolding it will use these locally customised templates

Working scaffolding wasn't included in BETA 8. It was fixed again in RC1

for all using rc1-final just change the namespace in commands to

"gen": "Microsoft.Extensions.CodeGeneration"

Beta 5 packages should not be mixed with Beta 8.

This package seem to not have been updated which means that this code is technically dead and/or has been merged in another DNX project. I've seen ILibraryManager in the Microsoft.Extensions.PlatformAbstractions namespace.

As said in my comment, you probably have a version mismatch. Ensure to use 1.0.0-beta8 package specifically (no 1.0.0-*). I would do a File > New Project with the beta8 and check what the gen command is using in the new template.
