Scaffold-DBContext fails when Database connection string is moved to secrets.json in efcore 9.0.1 and 9.0.2

[ruhar]

Bug description

Scaffold-DBContext works when database connection is setup in appsettings.json in all versions tested. 8.0.8-9.0.2. When moving the database connection to secrets.json, the Scaffold-DBContext command works as expected in versions 8.0.8-9.0.0. I receive a Database Connection was not found in the applications configuration error in versions 9.0.1 and 9.0.2. Rolling the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer and Microsoft.EntityrameworkCore.Tools back to version9.0.0 or earlier, Scaffold-DBContext command works using secrets.json.

Your code

Package Manager Console command:
Scaffold-DbContext -Connection Name=ConnectionStrings:DatabaseConnection -Provider Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -Context ApplicationDbContext -Force -ContextDir ./Data -NoOnConfiguring

secrets.json:
{
  "ConnectionStrings:DatabaseConnection": "Data Source=powerdb.test.com;Initial Catalog=TemplateDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=template;Password=**********;Trust Server Certificate=True"
}

Could you add -Verbose to the command and share the output from 9.0.0 and 9.0.1?
Also, please share the code used to add Configuration?

I see. The 9.0.0 output contains Using environment 'Development'., so this regression was introduced in 017e8dc.

As a workaround, set $env:ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT = 'Development' before running the command

@AndriySvyryd thank you for the workaround. I can confirm this fixes the issue. Will this be resolved in a future edition?

[AndriySvyryd]

Will this be resolved in a future edition?

Yes, will fix it soon.

@AndriySvyryd I can also confirm this fixes the issue. Honestly, thank you very much, this speed of response is not usually common nowadays.

I can confirm 9.0.3 Still need to execute "$env:ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT = 'Development'" in order to execute scaffold correctly.
