Efcore: Error with scaffold-dbcontext when the password has "$"

[Sako73]

Steps to reproduce

I ran:
scaffold-dbcontext "server=127.0.0.1\sql14;database=CommonDEV;user id=GSUser;password=C$$_xxxxxxx;persist security info=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -verbose

The issue

It produced an error that the login failed for the user. When I looked at the connection string in the output, it was replacing the "$" characters: password=Cprompt_xxxxxxxx. When I changed the password to not include the "$", it worked as expected.

In PowerShell $$ contains the last token in the last line received by the session. You'd need to escape it using `$$, or use single quotes around your connection string.
