Unable to contact Redgate Client

Build fails in VS2017 after updating sqlproj file to use the ReadyRoll.MSBuild nuget package.

I followed the instructions in this link
https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/RR1/Build+components

Build output

1> Using ReadyRoll toolpath: C:_sourceCodexxpackagesReadyRoll.MSBuild.1.13.21.2034 oolsReadyRoll.Data.Schema.SSDT.targets
1>C:_sourceCodexxHPADatabaseHPADatabase.sqlproj: Error: : Unable to contact Redgate Client
1>Done building project "HPADatabase.sqlproj" -- FAILED.
1>
1>Build FAILED.

If i revert changes, then no problems.

Any ideas?? Thanks.

I'm sorry that you've ran into a problem with building your project. We've determined that this is a bug in the build package, and have just released a hotfix.

Upgrading the ReadyRoll.MSBuild NuGet package and then re-opening the solution should resolve the issue, but please let me know if you continue to encounter any problems

Hi Daniel

Thank you for the quick response and hotfix!

Still having issues though

The solution loads fine, but VS 2017 now crashes on build.

Enabled log when starting VS but dont see anything interesting there..

As a side note, if i revert and DONT use the ReadyRoll.MSBuild nuget package then VS builds fine.

I restarted VS couple of time, with no luck. Let me know if there is any other info i can provide you with.

Thanks for your help.

Apologies, Dean. Looks like we caused an issue for ReadyRoll Core users with that release.

We've just pushed a new version of the NuGet package and Visual Studio extension that should resolve the VS2017 crashing issue. Sorry once again for this. Please let me know if you encounter any further issues upon upgrading
