Hello Marios, 

Thank you for contacting Rider support. Unfortunately, you encountered a known issue: 

  • RIDER-88316 Error when creating scaffolded api controller;

We would appreciate it if you could upvote it to demonstrate your interest;

As a workaround, you can copy the command line shown in Rider output, change --useSqlite in the end to --databaseProvider sqlite and invoke this manually from the terminal, for ex:

Running command: /Users/Dmitry.Kazantsev/RiderProjects/WebApplication1/AnotherRepro/obj/dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator --project /Users/Dmitry.Kazantsev/RiderProjects/WebApplication1/AnotherRepro/AnotherRepro.csproj --target-framework net9.0 --configuration "Debug" --no-build controller --controllerName ScaffoldedItemName --relativeFolderPath "/Users/Dmitry.Kazantsev/RiderProjects/WebApplication1/AnotherRepro" --restWithNoViews --model AnotherRepro.Model.Product --dataContext AnotherRepro.ApplicationDbContext --controllerNamespace AnotherRepro --databaseProvider sqlite

Hope that helps. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Have a nice day!

I’m trying that workaround, but being told I must install .NET to run this application. Which I’m pretty sure I already got.

username@machine ProjectTitle % /Users/username/Projects/HB/ProjectTitle/obj/dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator --project /Users/username/Projects/HB/ProjectTitle/ProjectTitle.csproj --target-framework net9.0 --configuration "Debug" --no-build controller --controllerName Job --relativeFolderPath "/Users/username/Projects/HB/ProjectTitle/Controllers" --model ProjectTitle.Models.ErrorViewModel --dataContext ProjectTitle.Data.ProjectTitleContext --referenceScriptLibraries --useDefaultLayout --controllerNamespace ProjectTitle.Controllers --databaseProvider sqlite

You must install .NET to run this application.

EDIT: I downgraded to dotnet 8.0 and got past the issue.
