Description:
Hi everyone! I have a problem working with Entity Framework 6. Usually the MySQL Data Entities implementations works fine, but when I work with eager loading of related entities, it throw an exception:

"String was not recognized as a valid Boolean", this is the exception stack trace:

"System.FormatException occurred
  HResult=-2146233033

  InnerException: "

This only happend when I try to eager load more than 2 entities, very weird IHMO.

How to repeat:
This is the linq code:

    Dim xa = _repo.Querify().Where(Function(t) t.Id = estudio.Id).AsNoTracking().
                    Include(Function(t) t.Resultados).Include(Function(t) t.Contactos).
                    Include(Function(t) t.TipoGestiones)

This is the generated SQL:

Suggested fix:
I suspect that the problem relies in MySql.Data.Entity.EFMySqlDataReader.ChangeType. Probably is passing an string "1", "0" or something like that, causing that System.Boolean.Parse to fail.

Hello Emanuel Gianico,

Thank you for the bug report.
I tried to reproduce the steps at my end using VB 2013, MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.6 and EntityFramework(6.1.3), but couldn't trace out any issue with EagerLoad.
Could you please list out the steps you tried out at your end? Please provide repeatable steps for us to confirm this issue at our end.

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.
[30 Mar 2015 19:02] Emanuel Gianico
Yes, first thing you need is the sql dump to create and populate the test database.

http://pastebin.com/AJp0T3B9

Second, here you have the Test Project (A simple winforms application with everything configured (Last mysql and mysql.entity (6.9.6) from nuget, entity framework 6.1.3, etc). Just remember to change the connectionstring from App.config.

How can we solve this?

I've run into this bug as well. Is there a workaround?

The strange thing is that it doesn't happen locally but on the web server it fails :/

Greetings

I am experiencing the same problem. You have found a solution for this problem?
[25 Nov 2015 11:03] Eskild D
This bug is a show stopper when using ASP.NET OData (v4) Controllers where you don't have direct control over the query. And it happens quite frequent... I noticed that it starts to fail when the query joins multiple nested entities.

So a query like this is more likely to not work, then work: 
/odata/...?$expand=Foo($expand=Bar($expand=Baz)),X($expand=Y($expand=Z))

I think the severity of this bug should be increased as it basically forbids the usage of multiple includes.
[2 Dec 2015 7:44] Wouter Dingemanse
@epep eppe
Multiple includes work fine for me. Its only on certain conditions that it isnt working. I'm thinking when there's enums or booleans involved.

This works:
                .Include(s => s.Distribution)
                .Include(s => s.Category)
                .Include(s => s.Country)

While this doesnt:

                .Include(s => s.Distribution)                
                .Include(s => s.Distribution.SiteDistributions)
                .Include(s => s.Category)
                .Include(s => s.Country)

Found the solution (at least where booleans are involved) here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/31534825/141243

I added this convention to make it work:

    public class BoolConvention : Convention
    {
        public BoolConvention()
        {
            Properties<bool>()
                .Configure(p => p.HasColumnType("bit"));
        }
    }

Hello everyone,
in the meantime we are at .NET Connector 6.9.9 and the problem persists. Any chances of fixing?
[16 Oct 2017 14:31] Emanuel Gianico
Two years and the bug isn't fixed yet. Glad i moved to NHibernate.
[5 Dec 2017 23:29] anchit pancholi
i am not finding any work around for slimier issue, it is going to be fix in next version (7.x or 8.x)?
[19 Feb 2018 8:31] Wouter Dingemanse
I stopped using MySql, but for anyone coming here I would advise using this: https://github.com/PomeloFoundation/Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql

I didnt test it, so if this helps you please confirm here, so everyone can benefit.
[6 Nov 2018 0:38] Greg Bennett
I'm still getting a similar result. Is this fixed or is there a workaround?
[21 May 2019 10:44] Manikandan Nagarajan
Any update on this issue. I still face this issue with the following combination,

MySql.Data - 6.10.8
EntityFramework - 6.2.0
