v15.1.0-preview0001

[v15.1.0-preview0001]

Added

• SqlServerDsc
  • Added a new script analyzer rule to verify that Import-SQLPSModule or Connect-SQL
    (that implicitly calls Import-SQLPSModule) is present in each Get-, Test-,
    and Set-TargetResource function. If neither command is not needed then the
    analyzer rule should be overridden (issue #1683).
  • Added a new pipeline job that runs Script Analyzer on all PowerShell scripts
    in the source folder. The rules are defined by the Script Analyzer settings
    file .vscode\analyzersettings.psd1 (which also the Visual Studio Code
    PowerShell extension uses).
  • Added unit tests and integration tests for SQL Server 2019
    (issue #1310).

Changed

• SqlServerDsc
  • Suppressed new custom Script Analyzer rule SqlServerDsc.AnalyzerRules\Measure-CommandsNeededToLoadSMO
    for Get-, Test-, and Set-TargetResource functions in the resources.
• SqlLogin
  • Added functionality to throw exception if an update to the LoginMustChangePassword
    value on an existing SQL Login is attempted. This functionality is not supported
    by referenced, SQL Server Management Object (SMO), libraries and cannot be
    supported directly by this module.
  • Added integration tests to ensure that an added (or updated) SqlLogin can
    connect into a SQL instance once added (or updated).
  • Added integration tests to ensure that the default database connected to by
    a SqlLogin is the same as specified in the resource's DefaultDatabase
    property/parameter.
  • Amended how the interdependent, PasswordExpirationEnabled and PasswordPolicyEnforced
    properties/parameters are updated within the SqlLogin resource - Both values
    are now updated together if either one or both are not currently in the desired
    state. This change avoids exceptions thrown by transitions to valid, combinations
    of these properties that have to transition through an invalid combination (e.g.
    where PasswordExpirationEnabled is $true but PasswordPolicyEnforced is
    $false).
• SqlSetup
  • Minor refactor due to source code lint errors. The loop what evaluates
    the configuration parameters *FailoverCluster was change to a foreach().

Fixed

• SqlServerDsc
  • The component gitversion that is used in the pipeline was wrongly
    configured when the repository moved to the new default branch main.
    It no longer throws an error when using newer versions of GitVersion
    (issue #1674).
  • Minor lint errors throughout the repository.
• SqlLogin
  • Added integration tests to assert LoginPasswordExpirationEnabled,
    LoginPasswordPolicyEnforced and LoginMustChangePassword properties/parameters
    are applied and updated correctly. Similar integration tests also added to ensure
    the password of the SqlLogin is updated if the password within the SqlCredential
    value/object is changed (issue #361,
    issue #1032 and
    issue #1050).
  • Updated SqlLogin, integration tests to make use of amended Wait-ForIdleLcm,
    helper function, -Clear switch usage to remove intermittent, integration
    test failures (issue #1634).
• SqlRSSetup
  • If parameter SuppressRestart is set to $false the /norestart
    argument is no longer wrongly added (issue #1401).
• SqlSetup
  • Added/corrected InstallSharedDir, property output when using SQL Server 2019.
• SqlTraceFlag
  • Fixed Assembly not loaded error (issue #1680).
