Erray1 : EFCore changes ID of entity on add. Entity cannot be tracked because another instance with the key value is already being tracked
Im working on a library for generating random data for relational databases. Im using Reflection to add instances of entity in my DbContext cause I cannot explicitly specify type of the instance:

Code:

public class EntityAdder<TDbContext> where TDbContext : DbContext{ private readonly TDbContext _dbContext; private readonly MyOptions _options; public EntityAdder( TDbContext dbContext, MyOptionsProvider optionsProvider ) { _dbContext = dbContext; _options = optionsProvider.GetOptions(); } public async Task AddEntities(Dictionary<EntityInfo, List<object>> entities) { var dbSets = typeof(TDbContext) .GetProperties() .Where(x => x.PropertyType.IsGenericType) .Select(x => new DbSetInfo { DbSet = x.GetGetMethod()!.Invoke(_dbContext, [])!, DbSetProperty = x, AddMethod = x.PropertyType.GetMethod("Add")! }) .ToList(); foreach (var (entity, pool) in entities) { var dbSet = dbSets.Single(x => x.DbSetProperty.PropertyType.GetGenericArguments()[0] == entity.EntityType); if (_options.OverrideExistingData) { clearDbSet(dbSet); } foreach (var entityObject in pool) { dbSet.AddMethod.Invoke(dbSet.DbSet, [entityObject]); } } await _dbContext.SaveChangesAsync(); } private void clearDbSet(DbSetInfo dbSet) { MethodInfo removeRangeMethod = dbSet.DbSetProperty.PropertyType .GetMethods() .Where(x => x.Name == "RemoveRange") .ElementAt(1); removeRangeMethod.Invoke(dbSet.DbSet, [dbSet.DbSet]); } class DbSetInfo { public object DbSet { get; set; } public PropertyInfo DbSetProperty { get; set; } public MethodInfo AddMethod { get; set; } }}

Entities

Code:

 public class TestEntity1 { public int ID { get; set; } public int Value { get; set; } public string Value2 { get; set; } public bool Value3 { get; set; } public TestEntity2? Entity2 { get; set; } } public class TestEntity2 { [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)] public string ID { get; set; } public string Value { get; set; } public string Value2 { get; set; } public TestEntity1? Entity1 { get; set; } public int? Entity1ID { get; set; } }

Code:

public class TestContext : DbContext{ public TestContext() { } public TestContext(DbContextOptions options) : base(options) { } public DbSet<TestEntity1> Entity1 { get; set; } public DbSet<TestEntity2> Entity2 { get; set; } protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder builder) { if (builder.IsConfigured) return; builder.EnableSensitiveDataLogging(); builder.UseInMemoryDatabase("TestDatabase"); } protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder) { builder.Entity<TestEntity1>() .HasKey(e => e.ID); builder.Entity<TestEntity2>() .HasKey(e => e.ID); builder.Entity<TestEntity1>() .HasOne(e => e.Entity2) .WithOne(e => e.Entity1) .HasForeignKey<TestEntity2>(e => e.Entity1ID); }}

EntityInfo class contains some useful information about entity like type, number of instances etc. which is, in my opinion, not relevant to the problem

ID of the first instance in the pool is 0, but when trying to add it to the dbSet it suddenly changes to 1. Then, when adding next instance with ID of 1, the exception is thrown because ID of first instance was changed to 1:

The instance of entity type 'TestEntity1' cannot be tracked because another instance with the key value '{ID: 1}' is already being tracked. When attaching existing entities, ensure that only one entity instance with a given key value is attached.

EFCore changes ID of entity on add. Entity cannot be tracked because another instance with the key value is already being tracked (1) EFCore changes ID of entity on add. Entity cannot be tracked because another instance with the key value is already being tracked (2)

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Zach Huxford Asks: Why is it okay for my .bashrc or .zshrc to be writable by my normal user?
My user ~/.zshrc file has the following default privileges

My understanding of user permissions is that any process spawned by my user will then have read/write permissions to this file.

In malicious hands this could probably be used to edit aliases or append a directory of the attackers choosing to the beginning of the $PATH. I'm concerned that a malicious program that I install on the user level could then trick me into somehow giving up my sudo password through this method.

Obviously I do trust most of the programs that I install to not be malicious, however, I do use npm as a package manager for my own projects which is commonly accepted to be a vector for malware due to the sheer number of dependencies each module and it's dependencies can have.

I know that running sudo npm install -g is really bad practice but is using npm as a user which has write access to your main shell configuration file almost as bad just with a few extra steps in between, or am I lacking an understanding of how user permissions/shell configuration/npm works?

If this is insecure, then have I somehow missed security good practice for handling node js projects?

SFTP user login details real-time filtering

Amal P Ramesh Asks: SFTP user login details real-time filtering
I have enabled the SFTP login log into the default logfile /var/log/syslog and tried to filter the login time of each user and insert it into the database.

But the filtering is not worked as I expected.

Sample log file:

Code:

Jun 23 15:47:03 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24938]: Reached target Shutdown.Jun 23 15:47:03 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24938]: Starting Exit the Session..c.Jun 23 15:47:03 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24938]: Received SIGRTMIN+24 from PID 24980 (kill).Jun 23 15:47:03 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[1]: Stopped User Manager for UID 1051.Jun 23 15:47:03 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[1]: Removed slice User Slice of nidasu.Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[1]: Created slice User Slice of ftpuser1.Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[1]: Starting User Manager for UID 1069...Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[1]: Started Session 11907571 of user ftpuser1.Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24987]: Listening on REST API socket for snapd user session agent.Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24987]: Reached target Paths.Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24987]: Reached target Timers.Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24987]: Reached target Sockets.Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24987]: Reached target Basic System.Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24987]: Reached target Default.Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[24987]: Startup finished in 15ms.

Needs to filter user login messages, like:

Code:

Jun 23 15:47:13 ip-172-16-0-62 systemd[1]: Started Session 11907571 of user ftpuser1.

I need to grep it out by matching the string "Started Session 11907571 of user ftpuser1"

The session number 11907571 is a random number and usernames also differ so grepping can ignore the numbers and usernames, only need to check the string like: **"Started Session *** of user ***"

And need to parse the line and grep the date + time, and username then insert it into the MySQL database.

If there is any option to create a daemon process to run and insert the details into DB, it will help me to do the task.

get nat port forwarding IP address

gyandoo Asks: get nat port forwarding IP address
I am using an android phone that is connected to an openwrt router via usb tether

The android phone has a dynamic wan gateway on each reboot

To make things easy for me to connect to the webui of some of the apps on the android phone via the openwrt router, I created a port forwarding rule in openwrt and entered the wan ip of the android phone manually. port forwarding rule

On each reboot of the android phone, i will have to check the routes in openwrt, get the new wan ip and update the port forwarding rule, which is fine

to make things easier on my linux machine, id like to be able to use CLI to get that wan ip that i set in port forwarding i.e 192.168.1.1:32399

not that it matters, but curlftpfs ftp mounting isn't playing well with nat, all other android app webui's are working fine with the port redirect, curlftpfs requires the wan ip, it finds the wan ip in debug but skips it

thanks

I am starting a container using the docker run command, it works fine. However when I try to start the same container using ctr command (irrespective of whatever snapshotter I use) I get this error:

Code:

sudo: effective uid is not 0, is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the 'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?

The error is coming from one of the lines in the dockerfile which is prepended by sudo . Please note that I tried removing sudo but then it gives permission denied error. As per my understanding docker engine uses ctr under the hood. Then why does not working for ctr? How shall I proceed to de

AbdelKh Asks: Can't change TCP/IPv4 settings on windows 10
As I am trying to change my wireless IPv4 or DNS IP address, everything goes well until I click OK.

The adapter window pops up this error: "An unexpected condition occurred. Not all of your requested changes in settings could be made"

EFCore changes ID of entity on add. Entity cannot be tracked because another instance with the key value is already being tracked (3)

Even when I restored Windows, disabled and re enabled the adapter, the problem was not solved.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I fixed that by resetting Windows 10. No other solution worked for me.

EFCore changes ID of entity on add. Entity cannot be tracked because another instance with the key value is already being tracked (2024)

FAQs

How do I clear tracked entities in Entity Framework? ›

ChangeTracker. Clear() : This method clears the current state of the ChangeTracker for all entities in the context, which means that the context will no longer track any changes made to any entity in the context. This method is more efficient than detaching each entity individually using EntityState.

How do I turn off change tracking in Entity Framework? ›

In Entity Framework, change tracking is enabled by default. You can also disable change tracking by setting the AutoDetectChangesEnabled property of DbContext to false. If this property is set to true then the Entity Framework maintains the state of entities.

How to ensure that only one entity instance with a given key value is attached? ›

When attaching existing entities, ensure that only one entity instance with a given key value is attached. The fix for this is to either to set key values explicitly or configure the key property to use generated key values. See Generated Values for more information.

When to use AsNoTrackingWithIdentityResolution? ›

AsNoTrackingWithIdentityResolution, introduced in EF Core 8, takes the AsNoTracking behavior a step further. It not only disables tracking but also enables identity resolution. This means that if you fetch the same entity multiple times, EF Core will recognize them as the same object, even without tracking.

How to track entity changes with EF Core Audit Logging? ›

Tracking from queries

EF Core change tracking works best when the same DbContext instance is used to both query for entities and update them by calling SaveChanges. This is because EF Core automatically tracks the state of queried entities and then detects any changes made to these entities when SaveChanges is called.

Which is responsible for change tracking management in the Entity Framework? ›

The Change Tracker is the mechanism responsible for this process. The Change Tracker records the current state of an entity using one of four values: Added. Unchanged.

Does every entity need a key? ›

The unique identifier, or primary key, enables clients to locate a particular entity instance. Every entity must have a primary key. An entity may have either a simple or a composite primary key. Simple primary keys use the javax.persistence.Id annotation to denote the primary key property or field.

Can an entity have multiple keys? ›

In some instances, an entity will have more than one attribute that can serve as a primary key. Any key or minimum set of keys that could be a primary key is called a candidate key. Once candidate keys are identified, choose one, and only one, primary key for each entity.

What is tracking in the entity framework? ›

Tracking behavior controls if Entity Framework Core keeps information about an entity instance in its change tracker. If an entity is tracked, any changes detected in the entity are persisted to the database during SaveChanges .

When not to use AsNoTracking? ›

While AsNoTracking offers performance benefits, it's essential to consider its implications. Entities retrieved without tracking won't automatically update in the database, so modifications must be handled explicitly. Additionally, AsNoTracking might not be suitable for scenarios where entities are frequently updated.

Does AsNoTracking improve performance? ›

By using AsNoTracking, you can reduce memory overhead, speed up query execution, minimize network traffic, and improve the overall scalability of your application. Incorporating this technique into your EF Core queries can lead to a substantial performance boost, making your application more efficient and responsive.

What difference does AsNoTracking () make? ›

Using AsNoTracking can improve the performance of your application in scenarios where you don't need to track the changes made to the entities. For example, if you are retrieving data for read-only purposes or displaying data in a read-only UI, AsNoTracking can significantly improve the performance of your application.

How do I delete all migrations in Entity Framework? ›

Within your EntityFrameworkCore project, find the "migrations" folder and simply delete the folder. This will remove all historical migrations from the code base.

What is the default tracking in Entity Framework? ›

🐌 By default, Entity Framework Core automatically monitors changes made to entities. This enables you to effortlessly save modifications to the database using a single call to the SaveChanges() method. However, entity tracking introduces some overhead, impacting both performance and memory usage.

How do I remove a migration from Entity Framework Core? ›

When used, the Remove-Migration -Force command will remove the migration regardless of whether it has already been applied to the database. The context class to use that contains the migration you want to remove, it can be either the name or the fullname including namespaces.

Which keyword is used to perform delete operation thru Entity Framework? ›

DbContext. Remove Method (Microsoft. EntityFrameworkCore) | Microsoft Learn.
