Q: 

Entity Framework Code First Doesn't Generate Database

I created a db Context class and added a connection string in my web.config file as instructed in Scott Guthrie's Code First Development with Entity Framework 4. I am running it from a test method. I received several database errors running the tests, but when I finally cleaned up the classes so the test succeeded, I still had no database in the App_data folder.

I added Database.CreateIfNotExists() to the dbContext constructor, but still no sdf file. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
