Incompatibility with EF 6

[scho]

Hi,

I've started to play around with the EFRepository. I got some strange errors on my Asp.Net MVC page that it couldn't load the System.Data.Entity.dll.
In the end I found out, that EFRepository doesn't support EF6 and it tries to use EF5. I'm not so familiar with the nuget stuff, but maybe you add that the EntityFramework dependency must not be 6 or newer. Also stating it somewhere in the readme would be awesome.

I my project, I finally ended up fixing the few issues with EF6 by myself (basically all due to namespace changes). If you want I can send you a pull request with my changes and you can release a new version of Repository.EntityFramework.

Anyway, I'm planning on using you library a lot in the future, so far it looks really promising!

Cheers,
scho

Hi scho,

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this, been real busy the past few days. Yep, I haven't updated EFRepository recently, so I'm not surprised that it doesn't support EF6. A pull request would be great, I'll merge it whenever you send it in :) Thanks!

Hi Matthew,

I've sent you a pull request. All I did was fixing the using statements and adding EF6 to packages. I did not run any tests, so you might want to do that.

Another thing: Have you thought about removing the packages folder from the git repository? Adds a lot of noise in my opinion and everyone can get the libs from nuget. Or did I miss anything on that?

Awesome, thanks. I'll run some tests later today and merge if everything looks good.

As for the packages folder - you're totally right about this. When I originally created this repo I was A) still getting familiar with using Git, and B) trying to get something up and running quickly, so it's not the cleanest repo in the world. I'll look into blowing away the packages folder too.

Thanks again.

This is the .gitignore file that we use:

At the bottom, there is some stuff that you might not need (Mac OS X, BitTorrent Sync, etc.)

Any progress with this? I'll probably not use it since I didn't really need it and I'm on a schedule here, but I figured I'd poke you about this for people that come along in the future.

Seems pretty nice otherwise.

@kellyelton: You could use @scho's fork (https://github.com/scho/Repository) and apply upgrades missing out on several updates
OR
Upgrading and updating this repo to EF6.x.x itself isn't much of a task: @scho's commit (scho@9c28740) will guide you through.
