TFS构建上的SQL Server单元测试

Question

We has a solution which is being built by TFS and SQL server unit tests which should be run on each build. The tests part also consists of a Database project which should be deployed to localDB before tests are running. The config for SQL server unit test project is:

 <configSections> <section name="SqlUnitTesting" type="Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.UnitTesting.Configuration.SqlUnitTestingSection, Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.UnitTesting, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> <!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 --></configSections> <connectionStrings> <add name="SnapDBContext" connectionString="Data Source=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Initial Catalog=SampleDatabase;Integrated Security=SSPI;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> <SqlUnitTesting> <DatabaseDeployment DatabaseProjectFileName="..\\..\\..\\..\\Database\\SampleDatabase.sqlproj" Configuration="Debug" /> <DataGeneration ClearDatabase="true" /> <ExecutionContext Provider="System.Data.SqlClient" ConnectionString="Data Source=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Initial Catalog=SampleDatabase;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False" CommandTimeout="30" /> <PrivilegedContext Provider="System.Data.SqlClient" ConnectionString="Data Source=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Initial Catalog=SampleDatabase;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False" CommandTimeout="30" /> </SqlUnitTesting> <entityFramework> <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" /> <providers> <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" /> </providers> </entityFramework> 

Everything work fine on my local machine but on TFS it fails with an error:

An error occurred while SQL Server unit testing settings were being read from the configuration file. Click the test project, open the SQL Server Test Configuration dialog box from the SQL menu, add the settings to the dialog box, and rebuild the project.

The guys assumes that the tests worked fine on TFS 2013 but after the upgrading to TFS 2015 we started to get this error. Tried different solutions found here and over the internet but nothing helps. What am I missing? Thank you.

Answer 1

Try to use another SQL Server instance (not localdb, using another SQL Server instance works fine for me).

On the other hand, you are using windows authentication, so make sure the build service account has the enough permission (eg create database) for target SQL Server.
