BulkSaveChanges throws "is already being tracked" exception

[Ben555555]

I'm using the following code:

dbContext.Translations.Add(new TranslationEntity());

dbContext.BulkSaveChanges();

dbContext.Users.Add(newUserEntity());

dbContext.SaveChanges();

On the normal SaveChanges (The second one) call I get the following exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: The instance of entity type 'TranslationEntity' cannot be tracked because another instance with the key value '{Id: 5652fb85-6fbc-40fd-4914-08dd152b7ad7}' is already being tracked. When attaching existing entities, ensure that only one entity instance with a given key value is attached.

This probably means that it tries to track this entity again somehow. Is it possible to combine both methods in sequence?

I ran into this and spent so much time looking for a solution. The only solution I found for this problem is to attach the entitie after calling BulkSaveChanges() to let EF know the entity already exist in the database, like so:

var translation = new TranslationEntity();
dbContext.Translations.Add(translation);
dbContext.BulkSaveChanges();
dbContext.Translations.Attach(translation)
dbContext.SaveChanges();

This method is buggy.

What version of lib are you using, and it this for SqlServer?
Can you make a test to reproduce the issue.
I have added the following one and it passed:

[Theory]
[InlineData(SqlType.SqlServer)]
public void SaveChanges2TimesTest(SqlType dbServer)
{
   ContextUtil.DatabaseType = sqlType;
    using var context = new TestContext(ContextUtil.GetOptions());

    context.Departments.Add(new Department { Id = Guid.NewGuid(), Name = "D1" });
    context.BulkSaveChanges();

    context.Customers.Add(new Customer { Name = "Ca" });
    context.SaveChanges();
}
