This doesn't work. When running this command in the VS PMC environment has no effect on the host. https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/9623 https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/9664 https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/8328

Please update documentation on how to correctly set the environment. My code uses the IDesignTimeDbContextFactory<TContext>
