    This error typically occurs when there’s an issue with the input parameters in the scaffolding process, often related to the model or context. To troubleshoot, try the following:

    Check Your Model: Ensure that your model and its properties are correctly defined, with no null or empty strings that could be causing the issue.

    Update Packages: Make sure all your NuGet packages are up to date, especially Entity Framework.

    Clean and Rebuild: Clean the solution and rebuild it to clear any cached issues.

    Visual Studio Restart: Sometimes simply restarting Visual Studio can resolve temporary glitches.

    If the issue persists, could you provide more details about your model or the specific context you’re using?

    If my answer is helpful to you, you can accept it. Thank you.
