efcore: System.MethodAccessException: 'Attempt by method 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Configuration.LoggerProviderConfigurationFactory.GetConfiguration(System.Type)' to access method 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ProviderAliasUtilities.GetAlias(System.Type)' failed.'

After upgrading to EF Core 3.1 Preview 2 I get this exception on ASP.NET Core application start. If I revert to EF Core 3.0 all works fine.

This is not the first time Entity Framework has caused problems in my project. I updated some nuget library and it brought over EF for Design, SqlServer and Tools. That totally crashed my project. I don’t even use these libraries. Currently in the middle of a big project and haven’t had a chance to upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0 for Core.

But shouldn’t these nuget libraries not install if 3.0 is not being used?

As my project is using .net framework, and even the newest .net framework doesn’t support .net standard 2.1, which .net core 3.* requires, I have to use .net core 2.* version and meet this error. To solve this, I downgrade efcore to 2.*, and this solves my problem.

The solution for me was to ensure everything was at the same version, 3.0.1 in my case. This included the various Microsoft.Extensions.* packages as well as EFCore.

@slipdef I suspect the issue is due to mismatched package versions. You will certainly need to update all EntityFrameworkCore packages to the same version. I expect you will also need to pull in the latest 3.1 versions of Microsoft.Extensions packages, since the EF packages depend on the 3.1 versions of these packages.
