v16.3.0-preview0001

[v16.3.0-preview0001]

Remove

• SqlServerDsc.Common
  • Removed the function Invoke-Query. It is replaced by the command
    Invoke-SqlDscQuery (issue #1902).

Added

• New public commands:
  • Disconnect-SqlDscDatabaseEngine - Disconnects from a SQL Server instance
    that was previously connected to using Connect-SqlDscDatabaseEngine.
  • Test-SqlDscIsSupportedFeature - Evaluates if a feature is supported by a specific
    Microsoft SQL Server major version. This command must be extended with
    a full list of when features were added and removed in each major
    version to fully work.
• New private commands:
  • ConvertTo-RedactedText - Used to redact sensitive information from
    text that then can be used in console output like verbose messages.
  • Get-FileVersionInformation - Returns the version information
    for a file.
  • Assert-Feature - Throws an exception if a feature is not supported
    for a specific Microsoft SQL Server major version.

Changed

• Gitversion no longer evaluates bumping major version using the word "major".
• Update private command:
  • Assert-SetupActionProperties was changed to throw
    an exception when a feature is not supported (calls Assert-Feature).
    The private command is indirectly used by the setup action commands.
• SqlSetup
  • Update to support checking non-supported features using the command
    SqlDscIsSupportedFeature (issue #1872).

v16.2.0

[v16.2.0]

Added

• SqlServerDsc
  • New GitHub Actions workflow that run PSScriptAnalyzer for PRs so any
    issues are shown directly in the PR's changed files (issue #1860).
  • Added a separate integration test jobs for SQL Server Reporting Services
    to be able to test configuring SQL Server Reportings Services using
    other values that the default values.
  • Now updates GitHub Actions automatically by allowing dependabot sending
    in pull requests.
  • New public command:
    • Get-SqlDscPreferredModule - Returns the name of the first available
      preferred module (issue #1879).
      • Re-using the command Get-PSModulePath from the module DscResource.Common.
• SqlSecureConnection
  • Added new parameter ServerName that will be used as the host name when
    restarting the SQL Server instance. The specified value should be the same
    name that is used in the certificate (issue #1888).
• SqlSetup
  • Added new parameter ServerName that will be used as the host name when
    evaluating the SQL Server instance. If using a secure connection the
    specified value should be the same name that is used in the certificate
    (issue #1893).

Changed

• SqlServerDsc
  • Update appveyor.yml to use dotnet tool install to install GitVersion.
  • Re-enable integration tests for SqlRSSetup and SqlRS when running against
    SQL Server 2019 (issue #1847).
  • The private function Import-SQLPSModule was replaced throughout with
    the public command Import-SqlDscPreferredModule (issue #1848).
  • Removed the regular expression features? from the GitVersion configuration.
    Before, if a fix commit mentioned the word feature but means a SQL Server
    feature GitVersion would bump minor instead of patch number.
  • Update pipeline script that is used to resolve dependencies.
  • When running in Azure Pipelines any existing SqlServer module is removed
    before running integration tests, so the tests can update to latest version.
  • Now the new label 'command proposal' is an exempt for labeling issues stale.
  • Update the initializing header for all integration test to be equal to
    the unit tests.
  • Rename task jobs in Azure Pipelines (issue #1881).
  • Bump SqlServer version to 22.0.59 for integration tests for SQL Server 2022.
• Get-SqlDscAudit

    audits are returned (issue #1812).
• Import-SqlDscPreferredModule
  • Now correctly preserves paths that is set in the session for the environment
    variable $env:PSModulePath. If the module SqlServer or SQLPS are not
    found the command will populate the $env:PSModulePath with the
    unique paths from all targets; session, user, and machine. This is done
    so that any new path that was added to the machine or user target will
    also be set in the session.
  • Now imports the preferred module into the global scope so that MOF-based
    resources (that is in another module scope) can use the imported module.
  • Some code cleanup (issue #1881).
  • Refactor to re-use the command Get-SqlDscPreferredModule.
• SqlServerDsc.Common
  • Restart-SqlService no longer silently ignores errors that prevents

    reported by Connect-SQL (issue #1891).
  • Invoke-SqlScript no longer passes the parameter Variable to
    Invoke-SqlCmd if it is not set (issue #1896).
• DatabasePermission
  • Class was updated with the latest database permissions.

Fixed

• Assert-SetupActionProperties
  • Now throws an exception if the setup action is Install and the feature
    analysis services is specified without the parameter ASSysAdminAccounts
    (issue #1845).
  • Now throws an exception if the setup action is Install and the feature
    database engine is specified without the parameter SqlSysAdminAccounts.
• Invoke-SetupAction
  • The parameter SqlSysAdminAccounts is no longer mandatory to allow
    installation where the database engine is not installed.
• Install-SqlDscServer
  • The parameter SqlSysAdminAccounts is no longer mandatory to allow
    installation where the database engine is not installed.
• SqlRS
  • Fixed issue of configuring reporting services (issue #1868).
  • Test renamed to When Reports virtual directory is different so it
    is more correct and not a duplicate.
  • Integration tests configuration names was renamed to better tell what
    the configuration does (issue #1880).
• SqlServerDsc.Common
  • The command Restart-SqlService was updated to correctly evaluate when
    the timeout value is reached (issue #1889).

    so that any new path that was added to the machine or user target will
    also be set in the session.
  • Now imports the preferred module into the global scope so that MOF-based
    resources (that is in another module scope) can use the imported module.
  • Some code cleanup (issue #1881).

Fixed

• Assert-SetupActionProperties
  • Now throws an exception if the setup action is Install and the feature
    analysis services is specified without the parameter ASSysAdminAccounts
    (issue #1845).
  • Now throws an exception if the setup action is Install and the feature
    database engine is specified without the parameter SqlSysAdminAccounts.
• Invoke-SetupAction
  • The parameter SqlSysAdminAccounts is no longer mandatory to allow
    installation where the database engine is not installed.
• Install-SqlDscServer
  • The parameter SqlSysAdminAccounts is no longer mandatory to allow
    installation where the database engine is not installed.
• SqlRS
  • Fixed issue of configuring reporting services (issue #1868).
  • Test renamed to When Reports virtual directory is different so it
    is more correct and not a duplicate.
  • Integration tests configuration names was renamed to better tell what
    the configuration does (issue #1880).
• SqlServerDsc.Common
  • The command Restart-SqlService was updated to correctly evaluate when
    the timeout value is reached (issue #1889).

v16.2.0-preview0005

[v16.2.0-preview0005]

Added

• SqlServerDsc
  • New GitHub Actions workflow that run PSScriptAnalyzer for PRs so any
    issues are shown directly in the PR's changed files (issue #1860).
  • Added a separate integration test jobs for SQL Server Reporting Services
    to be able to test configuring SQL Server Reportings Services using
    other values that the default values.
  • Now updates GitHub Actions automatically by allowing dependabot sending
    in pull requests.

Changed

• SqlServerDsc
  • Update appveyor.yml to use dotnet tool install to install GitVersion.
  • Re-enable integration tests for SqlRSSetup and SqlRS when running against
    SQL Server 2019 (issue #1847).
  • The private function Import-SQLPSModule was replaced throughout with
    the public command Import-SqlDscPreferredModule (issue #1848).
  • Removed the regular expression features? from the GitVersion configuration.
    Before, if a fix commit mentioned the word feature but means a SQL Server
    feature GitVersion would bump minor instead of patch number.
  • Update pipeline script that is used to resolve dependencies.
  • When running in Azure Pipelines any existing SqlServer module is removed
    before running integration tests, so the tests can update to latest version.
  • Now the new label 'command proposal' is an exempt for labeling issues stale.
  • Update the initializing header for all integration test to be equal to
    the unit tests.
  • Rename task jobs in Azure Pipelines (issue #1881).
• Get-SqlDscAudit
  • The parameter Name is no longer mandatory. When left out all the current
    audits are returned (issue #1812).
• Import-SqlDscPreferredModule
  • Now correctly preserves paths that is set in the session for the environment
    variable $env:PSModulePath. If the module SqlServer or SQLPS are not
    found the command will populate the $env:PSModulePath with the
    unique paths from all targets; session, user, and machine. This is done
    so that any new path that was added to the machine or user target will
    also be set in the session.
