实体框架自引用外键

Question

我正在尝试在实体框架5代码中首先创建一个简单的自引用。一个项目可以有一个可选的子项，不需要知道它的父项。

public class Item
{
    public int ItemId { get; set; }
    public int? PreviousItemId { get; set; }

    public virtual Item PreviousItem { get; set; }
}

但是由于某些原因它不想使用我的关键字段，因为我最终得到了这三个：

ItemId
PreviousItemId
PreviousItem_ItemId

我希望它使用我指定的字段而不是最后一个字段。我试过一个注释：

[ForeignKey("PreviousItemId")]
public virtual Item PreviousItem { get; set; }

还有流利的api：

public class ItemConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<Item>
{
    public ItemConfiguration()
    {
        HasOptional(i => i.PreviousItem)
            .WithMany()
            .HasForeignKey(i => i.PreviousItemId);
    }
}

但我同时收到这两个例外：

System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements

   at System.Data.Entity.Migrations.Infrastructure.EdmModelDiffer.GetQualifiedTableName(XDocument model, String entitySetName)

谁能告诉我这里我做错了什么？谢谢阅读。当我从包管理器控制台运行update-database时会发生异常。
