Problem after update to Visual Studio 17.8

JeromeLJeromeL Posts: 10 Bronze 4
in SQL Change Automation
Hi.

We've just updated Visual Studio to the latest version, 17.8. Since then, the plugin crashes on build/cleanup or even opening the SCA tool window.

The error ->
MSBUILD: Error:  : Method not found: 'Boolean Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionStringBuilder.get_Encrypt()'.: Method not found: 'Boolean Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionStringBuilder.get_Encrypt()'.

VS Version : 17.8
SCA extension version : 4.6.23312.2442

Thanks

    Same issue for me!

    Just installed the update to Visual Studio 2022 v17.8.0 (required for .NET 8 and C# 12) and SQL Change Automation Extension is not working any more, which means I'm unable to build my project. Please provide an updated version as soon as possible!

    Kind regards

    I was really hoping this would have been fixed with the official release of 17.8. This has been an issue in the preview version and multiple bug reports were sent. it's sad to see this product getting so little love from red-gate

    Hi all,

    Sorry you're seeing this issue with SCA and Visual Studio, a colleague has already escalated this issue through for the attention of our development team and we hope to have a further update for you soon.

    Appreciate it may not be possible, but SSMS has been suggested as a workaround while we await news from our development team on VS.
    Kind regards

    Have the same issue.
    In release note for VS 17.8 

    SQL

    • Upgraded Microsoft.Data.SQLClient (MDS) from version 3.0 to version 5.0 in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) Read more
    • Two new fields are added to Connect dialogue box
    • The Encrypt property now defaults to true (enabled) when connecting. If a server does not have a trusted certificate configured, the use of Trust Server Certificate set to true may be appropriate. For more details, please refer to the documentation

    The problem lies in RedGate.Versioning.Engine.Shared.DatabaseUtils.SqlServer.dll (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\Common7\IDE\Extensions\001rr241.rgs).

    There's a workaround disabling encryption:
    1. In ConnectionStringBuilder, Method  Create, remove property Encrypt
    2. In ConnectionStringFactory, Method ParseConnectionString, pass false to parameter to SetEncryptConnection
    You can use e.g. dnSpy to change this. 

    With Visual Studio 17.8, there were some changes regarding Connection encryption. It is enabled by default now, and some properties changed from value to object types.

    See
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/connect-to-an-existing-database-in-sql-server-data-tools?view=sql-server-ver16#EncryptTrustServerCertificate

    I had to do the same but that's not really a solution of the problem.

    Hi everyone,

    The developers are still working on a fix for this issue. If you're able to downgrade Visual Studio to 17.7 as a temporary workaround, that should get you up and going in the meantime.

    I appreciate your patience on this and will let you know of any updates that come our way.

    I do agree, It's been almost a month when the SCA is not usable with the latest VS and there is still no fix for this available?

    Agreed, we heavily rely on SCA for our devops flow. Need this fixed asap please. SSMS addin is a workaround but the experience is not so fluid

    I wouldn't be too optimistic. It took months to implement support vor VS2022:
    https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/88504/will-sca-support-visual-studio-2022

    Also, one of my tickets is in development since June. We can't use latest Change Autimation plugin because of a Newtonsoft.Json dependency error. This was once fixed and in a later version re-introduced.

    Very unstable for us to use CA, we are not happy ...

    Hi all,

    Apologies for the delay on resolution for this, I'm really sorry for the disruption this has caused. Our development team have a couple blockers on release of a new version with a fix for this that they are actively working on.

    At present, our advice is still to downgrade Visual Studio to 17.7 as a workaround.
    Sorry I don't have better news but we hope to have further update for you soon.
    Kind regards

    This is not an option for us, we use .NET 8 now. Why are features more important than bug fixes? Our customers would quit for such behaviour. Very unfavourable ...

    Completely unacceptable!
    As @clinke said, we again paid for your delays in implementing updates and bugs fixed. 
    I believe that this is a critical bug and it doesn't have the right priority.

    My sincere apologies for the delay. Our development team have just released a version including the fix for this, I've tested a build and created a new project and so far so good!

    I installed the new SCA update, then re-upgraded to VS 17.8 and it looks like I'm all good now.  Thanks for the fix; I'm letting my team know.

    It seems the issue was resolved but it so slow building the project. In my case, it took 4 mins and 46 seconds to complete the build.
