title: "The expected lock file doesn't exist. Please run "dnu restore"" right after I have done so
body: <p>I'm running beta7 for everything, including EF 7. I'm trying to connect to my remote existing database using the ASP.NET 5 Application template project. My project.json looks like this:</p>

  <p>Doing a search online it seemed that in order to accomplish what I wanted I needed to run the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dnx ef dbcontext scaffold "ConnectionString" EntityFramework.SqlServer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which I could not do because I had an issue which was solved as explained here:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32781484/using-existing-database-with-asp-net-5-and-ef7-beta-7/32782634#32782634">Using existing database with ASP.NET 5 and EF7 (beta 7)</a></p>
  
  <p>Now I can finally get to run the command "dnx", but when I try running it with my connectionstring, which looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dnx ef dbcontext scaffold "Data Source=192.168.XX.XXX\devsql;Initial
  Catalog=Development;Integrated Security=False;User ID=system;Password=XXX;"
  EntityFramework.SqlServer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it gives me the following errors:</p>

  <p>Which recreates the project.lock.json successfully, it seems (timestamp also reflects this). However, when I try running my scaffold script again, it keeps showing the same error shown above including the "expected lock file doesn't exist" part.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea what's going wrong?</p>
