Efcore: Not creating database using Migration command Update-Database in ASP.Net Core 2

[AhmerAli]

I created new ASP.Net core project with WebAPI. Using the below link.

jwt-authentication-with-aspnet-core-2-web-api-angular-5-net-core-identity-and-facebook-login

I have to use add-migration update-database manually.

Here I add one thing more that I don't know how to debug app in VS Code. After created my project in VS Code I open my project in Visual Studio 2017.

When I about to run the update command Update-Database in Package Manager Console. I encounter below error also in my understanding the above command is for create the database and add migrations tables in it. (Correct me If I'm wrong).

fail: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command[20102]

      [NormalizedName] nvarchar(256) NULL,
      CONSTRAINT[PK_AspNetRoles] PRIMARY KEY([Id])
  );

Also I share some of my code here and upload my app on github

program.cs

```c#

My Question is how I create my database using migration update command and what's going wrong in my code.

@AhmerAli There is nothing obviously wrong that we can see. Can you please post a runnable project/solution or complete code listing so we can attempt to reproduce what you are seeing?

[AhmerAli]

@ajcvickers I've already shared my github project link above. Secondly I found my answer and posted it on StackOverflow. Thanks for your time and support.
