对系统数据库的引用在 SSDT 数据库项目中重复

Question

In a huge SSDT database solution with lots of projects and references, I'm adding a reference from my project to system databases(master, msdb), it works well, and the build is successful.

And after some time I start receiving errors about incorrect reference. I go to the references section and see this: https://pasteboard.co/JqzDSDh.png

I tried removing the second reference and the errors were gone but then this issue comes back and I see two identical references again.

Thank you!

Most probably something is wrong with your project.sqlproj file. Try to search master.dacpac keyword there and make sure that there is no multiple entries. Make sure that dacpac path is not fully hardcoded, but uses $(DacPacRootPath) variable there.

This is an example how the reference should look like (make sure that you have the right SQL version defined in the path. Mine one is 140 here).

    <ArtifactReference Include="$(DacPacRootPath)\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\Extensions\SqlServer\140\SqlSchemas\master.dacpac">
      <HintPath>$(DacPacRootPath)\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\Extensions\SqlServer\140\SqlSchemas\master.dacpac</HintPath>
      <SuppressMissingDependenciesErrors>False</SuppressMissingDependenciesErrors>
      <DatabaseVariableLiteralValue>master</DatabaseVariableLiteralValue>
    </ArtifactReference>

If that wouldn't help, try to run "Clean Solution", then delete all *.jfm files and *.dbmdl files, bin and obj folders and re-build the project.
