Description:
Starting from a basic console application, adding only mysql.data.entityframeworkcore package and entityframework.design (for scaffolding), calling the Any() method from linq on a table to check for existence of records throws this exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: 'No coercion operator is defined between types 'System.Int16' and 'System.Boolean'.'

(using the any() from Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Internal looks fine but it seems to be deprecated)

Example code:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using AnyBugTest.Models.Ctx;

namespace AnyBugTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

            var ctx = new Ctx();
            if(ctx.table.Any())
                Console.WriteLine("test");
        }
    }
}

Are you trying to map a BIT(1) column to bool? If so, see my comment on bug #93028.
[3 Nov 2018 17:42] Manuel Zulian
No, it's TINYINT(1).
[13 Nov 2018 18:15] Oliver Hall
I'm hitting the same issue, though I'm not creating any code myself.  I'm using migrations to add ASP.Net Identity to a MySQL schema.

[System.InvalidOperationException: No coercion operator is defined between types 'System.Int16' and 'System.Boolean'.]

The MySQL datatype for the generated tables is BIT(1) for all boolean properties (none of which are nullable) and I'm calling UserManager.FindByEmailAsync(...) which in turn calls Linq.

I can't see where the Int16 is coming from at all.

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, or there's an easy way to add user-defined coercion, but I'm pretty new to Entity Framework.  Unfortunately, this is blocking further progress for me.

I am also experiencing this issue since upgrading to MySQL Server 8 from 5.7. I'm on Windows and using MySQL.Data.EntityFrameworkCore 8.0.13 nuget package within a .NET Core Web API application.
[2 Apr 2019 8:30] Marcos Gomes
Hi, I've notice that on MySQLTypeMapper if we change the _bit mapping to something like this:
private readonly RelationalTypeMapping _bit = new MySQLNumberTypeMapping("bit", typeof(bool), DbType.Boolean);
Ir resolves the error.

O hope the dev team could look at that.
Thanks

I have the same issue, 

It's weird where, select etc is working except any()...

I'm using connector/framework core 8.0.16. My server also is running on 8.0.16

My type in the database is : tinyint(1)

Here is my model

        [Column(TypeName = "TINYINT(1)")]
        public bool deleted { get; set; }

And I got this error using Any
No coercion operator is defined between types 'System.Int16' and 'System.Boolean'.

Here is my call when it crash

var users = dbContext.user.Any(x => !x.deleted);

Hello Manuel Zulian,

Thank you for the report.
Verified as described with VS 2019, C/NET 8.0.16 on Win10.

regards,
Umesh

Any ETA for the fix?

Hi, I've same problem with IQueryable<T>.Any call.
In my specific case I've extended identity framework to support client management.

Bug #96228 marked as duplicate of this one

I also found this to be an issue using linq 'Any()'

I switched to 'FirstOrDefault() is null' instead unfortunately and it worked :)
[29 Jan 2020 7:24] Luca Graziani
Hi!
As Enrique Penabella I've created a simple extension method to trace the existence of item.
This is the code:

public static class ExistsExtension
    {
        public static bool Exists<TSource> (this IQueryable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, bool>> predicate)
        {
            if (source.FirstOrDefault(predicate) == null)
                return false;

            return true;
        }
    }

It's a simple workaround, but works well :D.
