Bug when using connection string with Invoke-SqlServerQuery

[Sarafian]

How to reproduce issue When I using the -ConnectionString parameter with e.g. Invoke-SqlServerQuery

Invoke-SqlServerQuery -ConnectionString $connectionstring -Sql $sql

I get an error

Invoke-SqlServerQuery : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Workaround Feed the respected values from the connectionstring as separate parameters

Invoke-SqlServerQuery -Server $server -Database $database -Credential $credentials -Sql $sql

• Tested on version 1.0.1
• Bug is valid even when using the query item created by New-SqlQuery instead of raw sql
• Didn't test with other cmdlets

I also found this problem. Failure to get local instance name when SQL server is not installed on my machine. I modified to not get the local instance name when ConnectionString is specified.
