Add-Migration initial -v Build started Build failed or Update-Database Failed

Solution:

1. Make sure the solution is building right, clean and rebuild, if any project fails, fix it.
2. Use dot net tool through command prompt to add the migration it will give you clear information

dotnet ef migrations add MigrationName -v

Now fix the issue, in my case I needed to add reference to Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design

So I installed Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools and it fixed the issue.
