Deployment of asdatabase/bim file fails #4

Closed bindsi closed 7 years ago

bindsi commented 7 years ago

Hi,

my name is Marcel Bindseil, working for Microsoft Germany. At our client we use AAS and want to automate deployment process. So I stumpled over your great VSTS extension but I don´t get it run.

I have tried to deploy the attached asdatabase or bim file. Neither the as database nor the bim file worked for me. I also attached the task configuration in VSTS release definition. vststask1 vststask2

asdatabase.txt bim.txt

Deployment Task just returning: 2017-11-09T19:15:02.9454304Z ##[command]Import-Module -Name C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\PowerShell\ResourceManager\AzureResourceManager\AzureRM.Profile\AzureRM.Profile.psd1 -Global 2017-11-09T19:15:03.3624369Z ##[command]Add-AzureRMAccount -ServicePrincipal -Tenant ******** -Credential System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -EnvironmentName AzureCloud 2017-11-09T19:15:04.7292901Z ##[command]Select-AzureRMSubscription -SubscriptionId 4025db3d-bb6f-4de1-8485-36a843f29882 -TenantId ******** 2017-11-09T19:15:05.4500959Z ##[error]Error during deploying the model (The property 'database' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.) 2017-11-09T19:15:05.4700937Z ##[section]Finishing: Deploy model to asazure://westeurope.asazure.windows.net/sppdefaultasdev01

Another company I know is using the same asdatabase file structure and there it works ´{ "name": "Evobus Telemetry Data Model", "compatibilityLevel": 1400, "model": { "name": "Evobus Data Model", "culture": "en-US", "dataSources": [ { "type": "structured", "name": "SQL/evobussqldev01 database windows net;telemetrydb", "connectionDetails": { "protocol": "tds", "address": { "server": "evobussqldev01.database.windows.net", "database": "telemetrydb" }, "authentication": null, "query": null }, ….. ´ Can you help to investigate?

Thanks, Marcel Bindseil Microsoft Modern Apps Consultant

What you can try is to disable the 'Remove before Deploy' option: I see a reference in the code to that error message in the corresponding method. If that is not solving the issue, can you add the variable system.debug and the value true to the pipeline? This will provide more detailed logging and hopefully also the line number when the error is raised.

And as another thing: please change the database password as your vstask2 screenshot contains the password. You can also contact GitHub to physically remove the file. A better sustainable solution is to use secure variable for passwords

Yeah, of course.

In the meanwhile I already read your code and figured out what you mentioned. I unchecked "Remove before Deploy" and "Overwrite" and now it is working. Thanks for your support. Very appreciated

I will change the error message that is returned by the 'remove' method as it is not clear. Thanks for the update.
