Walkthrough

The test initializer database creation logic was simplified by replacing migration-based initialization with a single EnsureCreatedAsync() call, aligning it with the database setup approach used in Server.Api and Server.Web entry points.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Test Initializer Simplification src/Templates/Boilerplate/Bit.Boilerplate/src/Tests/TestsInitializer.cs	Replaced GetPendingMigrationsAsync() / MigrateAsync() logic with EnsureCreatedAsync() for consistent database initialization across entry points. Removed conditional migration checks and error branches.

Poem

🐰 A test database springs to life so clean,
With one simple call, no migrations between,
Consistency blooms from root to test,
When all paths agree, we can rest!

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Linked Issues Check	✅ Passed	The code changes directly address the requirements in linked issue #11524, which requests that the test initializer use Database.EnsureCreatedAsync consistently with Server.Api and Server.Web entry points. The raw summary confirms that the change replaces the previous migration-based logic (GetPendingMigrationsAsync/MigrateAsync and applied migrations check) with a single EnsureCreatedAsync() call, achieving the expected outcome of consistency across projects.
Out of Scope Changes Check	✅ Passed	The changes are narrowly scoped and directly related to the linked issue objective. Only one file (TestsInitializer.cs) is modified, and all changes focus on replacing the migration-based database creation logic with EnsureCreatedAsync() for consistency. No unrelated modifications or side changes are evident in the raw summary, confirming that the pull request stays within the defined scope of addressing the inconsistent database setup behavior.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.
Title Check	✅ Passed	The pull request title "Use Database.EnsureCreatedAsync in boilerplate test project (#11524)" directly and accurately reflects the main change in the changeset. The modification replaces the migration-based database creation logic in TestsInitializer.cs with a single EnsureCreatedAsync() call, which is precisely what the title conveys. The title is concise, specific, and clearly identifies both the API method being used and the location of the change, making it easy for developers reviewing history to understand the primary objective without requiring additional context.

Pull Request Overview

This PR simplifies database initialization in tests by replacing Entity Framework Core migration logic with EnsureCreatedAsync(). The change removes the complexity of checking for pending/applied migrations and instead directly creates the database schema, though a comment notes that EF Core migrations are still recommended for production scenarios.
