Change table name related to entity model - entity-framework

Question

I have some data in my database in a table called "Test".
I've made a duplicate of that table called "CopyTest".
If i change:
modelBuilder.Entity<IISLog>()
.ToTable("Test");
to:
modelBuilder.Entity<IISLog>()
.ToTable("CopyTest");
I get an error saying:
context has changed since the database was created. Consider using
Code First Migrations to update the database
How can i stop this from showing? It's just a table name change :)

Answer 1

Solution 1:
Delete First Migration and than try:
Add-Migration <migration-name>
Then open Migration file and change Table Name Manually. After that:
update-database -verbose
If it not works.
Solution 2:
Try to delete Migration History from SQL server Management studio .

Answer 2

Migrate to the initial DB
with
Update-Database -TargetMigration:"name_of_migration"
then update to your current state:
Update-Database
if necessary add your migration again:
Add-Migration TableNameUpdate

Answer 3

Add a new migration using add-migration Rename_Test_To_CopyTest
Then, in the resulting file, use the RenameTable method:
public partial class Rename_Test_To_CopyTest : DbMigration
{
public override void Up()
{
RenameTable("dbo.Test", "dbo.CopyTest");
}
public override void Down()
{
RenameTable("dbo.CopyTest", "dbo.Test");
}
}
Then use update-database as usual.
