How to send a connection string as a parameter to MsBuild to perform SQL Schema Compare? -

-

the sql server data tools team blog mentions possible use msbuild perform schema comparison of 2 dacpacs or databases. however, not mention how pass in connection string source , target database. if set parameter /p:source="my connection string" error:

msbuild : error msb4177: invalid property. name "initial catalog" contains invalid character " ".

the command-line powershell script sends msbuild is:

msbuild ".\schemacompare.proj" /t:sqlschemacompare  /p:source="$sourceconnstring" /p:target="$targetconnstring"  /p:xmloutput="$schemacomparereportpath"

where schemacompare.proj contains content suggested on sql server data tools team blog

it turns out have replace semicolons in connection string %3b, so:

$sourceconnstring = $sourceconnstring.replace(";", "%3b")

explanation: prevents delimiter collisions between sql server connectionstring value , msbuild /p (a.k.a. /properties) value contains it. absent url-encoding, msbuild tokenize connectionstring on semicolons rather passing on whole value intact (for sql server client libraries tokenize). applies properties attribute of msbuild task.
