Suggested solution

Unknown. Something has changed with SQL Server 2022 and work has to be done to pin point exact cause.

SQL Server edition and version

# Integration tests for SQL Server 2022 installs this version: https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/blob/026647ca36ce154a86facf195d00c27c2668281a/tests/Integration/DSC_SqlRSSetup.Integration.Tests.ps1#L79-L80

SQL Server PowerShell modules

SqlServer that the integration tests installs.

Operating system

Fails on both Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022.

PowerShell version

5.1

SqlServerDsc version

Code from main branch

[johlju]

There seems to be an issue with the SqlRS resource not working on the SQL Server 2022 instances that are installed as part of the integration tests. This will prevent us from merging PR's to the main branch because it fail to release a new preview release.

I won't have time looking into what causing the error.

[johlju]

Worst case we have to disable the tests.

[johlju]

The PR #2008 has temporarily disabled the tests that fails. They should be re-enabled when this issue is resolved.
