v16.2.0-preview0004

[v16.2.0-preview0004]

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.

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.
  • When running in Azure Pipelines any existing SqlServer module is removed
    before running integration tests, so the tests can update to latest version.
• 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.
  • 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.

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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    to run integration tests for SQL Server 2022.
  • The AppVeyor configuration file was updated to include the possibility

    in AppVeyor to help maximize the time alloted be run.
  • 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.
• Install-SqlServerDsc
  • No longer throws an exception when parameter AgtSvcAccount is not specified.
• SqlAgReplica
  • Converted unit test to Pester 5.
  • Update-AvailabilityGroupReplica to trigger once within Set-TargetResource
    for all AvailabilityReplica changes.

    (that replaced the feature name ARC).
  • Support the setup argument ProductCoveredBySA.
  • No longer supports the argument OnBoardSQLToARC as it was removed in
    SQL Server 2022 GA.

  • Now support the argument SuppressPrivacyStatementNotice (issue #1809).
• Import-SqlDscPreferredModule
  • No longer tries to get the environment variables from the machine state
    when run on Linux or macOS. This will allow the unit tests to run
    cross-plattform.
• SqlReplication
  • The resource now supports SQL Server 2022. The resource will require
    the module SqlServer v22.0.49-preview or newer when used against an
    SQL Server 2022 instance (issue #1801).
