An attempt was made to use the model while it was being created. A DbContext instance cannot be used inside 'OnModelCreating' in any way that makes use of the model that is being created.

I'm using EntityFrameworkCore 3.1. After design the entity and DbContext, I use a migration to create a database and also seed data

But when use Add-Migration I got a lot of error messages below

System.InvalidOperationException: An attempt was made to use the model while it was being created. A DbContext instance cannot be used inside 'OnModelCreating' in any way that makes use of the model that is being created.

I don't know why. So I wanna show my code

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    //Seeding data
    this.Questions.AddRange(new List<Question>()
      {
        new Question()
        {
          QuestionId = 1,
          Content = "How to convert int to string",
          Answers = new List<Answer>()
          {
            new Answer()
            {
              AnswerId = 2,
              Content = "You can use ToString",
              QuestionId = 1
            },
            new Answer()
            {
              AnswerId = 1,
              Content = "You can use your_number + String.Empty",
              QuestionId = 1
            },
            new Answer()
            {
              AnswerId = 3,
              Content = "You can use Convert.ToString",
              QuestionId = 1
            }
          }
        },
        new Question()
        {
          QuestionId = 2,
          Content = "How to convert string to int",
          Answers = new List<Answer>()
          {
            new Answer()
            {
              AnswerId = 2,
              Content = "You can use int.Parse",
              QuestionId = 2
            },
            new Answer()
            {
              AnswerId = 1,
              Content = "You can use Convert.ToInt",
              QuestionId = 2
            },
            new Answer()
            {
              AnswerId = 3,
              Content = "You can use int.TryParseExtract",
              QuestionId = 2
            }
          }
        }

    base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
}

    You can't use this way to seed the data. Because this function called when creating the database.

    To seed the data. You should use modelBuilder.Entity inside of OnModelCreating

    For example:

    modelBuilder.Entity<Question>().HasData(new List<Question>()
{
    new Question()
});
