• SqlServerDsc
  • The following private functions were added to the module (see comment-based
    help for more information):
    • Assert-SetupActionProperties
    • Invoke-SetupAction
    • ConvertTo-ManagedServiceType
    • ConvertFrom-ManagedServiceType
    • Assert-ManagedServiceType
  • The following public functions were added to the module (see comment-based
    help for more information):
    • Install-SqlDscServer
    • Uninstall-SqlDscServer
    • Add-SqlDscNode
    • Remove-SqlDscNode
    • Repair-SqlDscServer
    • Complete-SqlDscImage
    • Complete-SqlDscFailoverCluster
    • Initialize-SqlDscRebuildDatabase
    • Import-SqlDscPreferredModule
    • Get-SqlDscManagedComputer
    • Get-SqlDscManagedComputerService

  • Integration tests are now also run on SQL Server 2022 and SQL Server
    Reporting Services 2022.
  • Integration tests now wait for LCM after each It-block, not just at the
    end of a Context-block. Hopefully this will mitigate some of the intermittent
    errors we have seen when running the integration tests in the pipeline.
  • Use preview version of Pester to support the development of Pester as
    this is a code base with a diverse set of tests thar can help catch
    issues in Pester. If preview release of Pester prevents release we
    should temporary shift back to stable.
  • Add the GitHub App Pull Request Quantifier as an experiment to see if it
    brings any value (issue #1811).
    • Updated thresholds, and label names and colors.
  • New QA tests for public commands and private functions.
• SqlDatabase
  • Added compatibility levels for SQL Server 2022 (major version 16).
• SqlSetup
  • Paths for SQL Server 2022 are correctly returned by Get.
• SqlRS
  • Added optional parameter Encrypt. Parameter Encrypt controls whether
    the connection used by `Invoke-SqlCmd should enforce encryption. This
    parameter can only be used together with the module SqlServer v22.x
    (minimum v22.0.49-preview). The parameter will be ignored if an older
    major versions of the module SqlServer is used.
• SqlScript

    the connection used by `Invoke-SqlCmd should enforce encryption. This
    parameter can only be used together with the module SqlServer v22.x

    the connection used by `Invoke-SqlCmd should enforce encryption. This
    parameter can only be used together with the module SqlServer v22.x
    (minimum v22.0.49-preview). The parameter will be ignored if an older
    major versions of the module SqlServer is used.
• SqlTraceFlag
  • The resource is now tested with an integration tests (issue #1835).
  • A new parameter ClearAllTraceFlags was added so a configuration
    can enforce that there should be no trace flags.
• The public commands Add-SqlDscNode, Complete-SqlDscFailoverCluster,
  Complete-SqlDscImage, Install-SqlDscServer, and Repair-SqlDscServer
  now support the setup argument ProductCoveredBySA (issue #1798).

Changed

• SqlServerDsc
  • Update Stale GitHub Action to v7.
  • Update to build module in separate folder under output.
  • Moved the build step of the pipeline to a Windows build worker when
    running in Azure DevOps.
  • Class-based resources now uses the parent class ResourceBase from the
    module DscResource.Base (issue #1790).
  • Settings for the Visual Studio Code extension Pester Tests was changed
    to be able to run all unit tests, and all tests run by the extension
    are now run in a separate process to be able to handle changes in
    class-based resources.
  • The AppVeyor configuration file was updated to include the possibility
    to run integration tests for SQL Server 2022.

  • The stubs in SqlServerStub.psm1 are now based on the commands from the
    module SqlServer v22.0.49-preview.
  • The module will now call Import-SqlDscPreferredModule when the module
    is imported to make sure SqlServer (default preferred module) or SQLPS
    is loaded into the session. This will make it possible for classes and
    commands to use and return SQL types. If no module is found it will
    output a warning to install any of the dependent modules.
  • Add empty constructor to classes to be able to use Pester's new code
    coverage method. See more information can be found in pester/Pester#2306.

    when run on Linux or macOS. This will allow the unit tests to run
    cross-plattform.

      used by Invoke-SqlCmd should enforce encryption. This parameter can
      only be used together with the module SqlServer v22.x (minimum
