Scaffolding doesn't work when DbContext is in a separate project

[orange2-netizen]

. My DataContext and Models are in a separated project and I am using Project Reference. The error only happens when the DataContext and Models are in a separated project. I tested a MVC project with DataContext and Models within the same project, the scaffolding works fine.

my Visual Studio version is 18.6.2 and i am using dotnet 10.0.300. It used to be working fine (i do not remember what updates I have installed)

below is the output.

C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe scaffold aspnet mvccontroller-crud --model MyModel --controller MyModelsController --dataContext MyDbContext --dbProvider sqlserver-efcore --views --project "C:\MyProject\MyProject.csproj"
Initializing scaffolding model...
Invalid  --model  'MyModel'
An error occurred.

using the older version command line worked.

PS C:\MyProject> dotnet aspnet-codegenerator controller -name MyModelsController -m MyLibrary.Core.Models.MyModel -dc MyLibrary.Core.Data.MyDbContext  --relativeFolderPath Controllers --useDefaultLayout --referenceScriptLibraries --readWriteActions
Building project ...

Minimal hosting scenario!
Attempting to figure out the EntityFramework metadata for the model and DbContext: 'MyModel'

Using database provider 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer'!

Added Controller : '\Controllers\MyModelsController.cs'.
Added View : \Views\MyModels\Create.cshtml
Added View : \Views\MyModels\Edit.cshtml
Added View : \Views\MyModels\Details.cshtml
Added View : \Views\MyModels\Delete.cshtml
Added View : \Views\MyModels\Index.cshtml
RunTime 00:00:24.39

using the new one does NOT work even if I use fully-qualified type names

C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe scaffold aspnet mvccontroller-crud --model MyLibrary.Core.Models.MyModel --controller MyModelsController --dataContext MyLibrary.Core.Data.MyDbContext --dbProvider sqlserver-efcore --views --project "C:\MyProject\MyProject.csproj"

Invalid --dataContext option 
Using default 'NewDbContext' 
Initializing scaffolding model... 
Invalid --model 'MyLibrary.Core.Models.MyModel' 
An error occurred.

this is my package reference in the mvc project
