This PR implements the Assert-SqlDscLogin command as requested in issue #2111. The command provides a way to assert that a specified SQL Server principal exists as a login, throwing a terminating error if it doesn't.

  • Fixes # 2111

Changes Made

New Command: Assert-SqlDscLogin

  • Location: source/Public/Assert-SqlDscLogin.ps1
  • Purpose: Validates that a specified principal exists as a SQL Server login
  • Parameters:
    • ServerObject (mandatory, pipeline input supported): SQL Server connection object
    • Name (mandatory): Name of the principal to validate
  • Behavior: Throws a terminating error with category ObjectNotFound if the login doesn't exist

Implementation Details

  • Uses Test-SqlDscIsLogin command for login validation following existing module patterns
  • Follows SqlDsc naming convention with proper noun prefix
  • Includes comprehensive comment-based help with multiple examples
  • Uses localized error messages for internationalization support

Error Handling

  • Error category: ObjectNotFound
  • Error ID: ASDL0001
  • Includes both principal name and instance name in error messages
  • Target object set to the principal name for detailed error context

Localization

Added localized strings to source/en-US/SqlServerDsc.strings.psd1:

  • AssertDscLogin_CheckingLogin: Verbose message when checking login existence
  • AssertDscLogin_LoginMissing: Error message when login doesn't exist
  • AssertDscLogin_LoginExists: Debug message when login exists

Testing

  • Unit Tests: tests/Unit/Public/Assert-SqlDscLogin.Tests.ps1

    • 100% code coverage with scenarios for existing/non-existent logins
    • Validates pipeline input functionality and Test-SqlDscIsLogin integration
    • Tests error categorization and message content
    • Mocks Test-SqlDscIsLogin for isolated testing
  • Integration Tests: tests/Integration/Commands/Assert-SqlDscLogin.Integration.Tests.ps1

    • Tests against real SQL Server instances (SQL 2016-2022)
    • Validates common logins like sa, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, and SqlAdmin
    • Tests pipeline input in real environment
    • Added to CI pipeline in Group 2 (after Database Engine installation)
    • Uses Get-ComputerName to dynamically test the SqlAdmin login created during installation

Documentation

  • Updated CHANGELOG.md with concrete release notes describing the new Assert-SqlDscLogin command
  • Updated .github/copilot-instructions.md with SqlDsc naming requirements and additional guidelines for integration tests, CI pipeline integration, and changelog maintenance

Usage Examples

# Basic usage
$serverObject = Connect-SqlDscDatabaseEngine -InstanceName 'MyInstance'
Assert-SqlDscLogin -ServerObject $serverObject -Name 'MyLogin'

# Pipeline usage  
$serverObject | Assert-SqlDscLogin -Name 'MyLogin'

# Will throw terminating error if login doesn't exist
Assert-SqlDscLogin -ServerObject $serverObject -Name 'NonExistentLogin'
# Error: The principal 'NonExistentLogin' does not exist as a login on the instance 'MyInstance'.

Validation

  • Command follows all existing module conventions and patterns including SqlDsc naming
  • Uses Test-SqlDscIsLogin for consistent login validation across the module
  • Compatible with existing SMO mock infrastructure
  • All tests pass with proper error handling scenarios
  • Function is automatically exported through the module's public folder structure
  • Integration tests are properly integrated into the CI pipeline
  • All files properly formatted with required newlines

Fixes #2111

We need to add the integration tests files to the stage in azure-pipelines.yml:

- stage: Integration_Test_Commands_SqlServer

The integration tests should be added after the integration test that installs Database Engine, preferably in a "Group 2".

Also, when the testing the command Assert-SqlLogin, we should also test if \SqlAdmin is a login too. The user is added as a login when the integration tests 'tests/Integration/Commands/Install-SqlDscServer.Integration.Tests.ps1' is run. To dynamically get the computer name the CI has, use the command Get-ComputerName (a command that is available in the build pipeline)

Can you update the .github/copilot-instructions.md with:

  1. In the copilot instructions 'integration tests' section, add a paragraph that says something like: "any integration tests script files for commands should be added to a group in the stage 'Integration_Test_Commands_SqlServer' in ./azure-pipelines.yml. The group number should be determined by what other command's integration test it is dependent on."
  2. Mentioned in copilot instructions 'integration tests' section that to dynamically get the computer name the CI has, always use the command Get-ComputerName (a command that is available in the build pipeline).
  3. In the section 'PowerShell files' add that all files must end with an new line.

            { Assert-SqlDscLogin -ServerObject $mockServerObject -Name 'TestLogin' } | Should -Not -Throw

We should no longer use Should -Not -Throw to prepare for Pester v6 where it has been removed, by default the it-block will handle any unexpected exception. Change all occurrences in this test script, also update the copilot-instructions.md in the 'unit test'-section to mention it for AI agents.

Suggestion:

Assert-SqlDscLogin -ServerObject $mockServerObject -Name 'TestLogin'

tests/Unit/Public/Assert-SqlDscLogin.Tests.ps1 line 117 at r11 (raw file):

            catch {
                # Expected error
            }

Do not use try-catch block here in the test, use { <code> } | Should -Throw. We should still be able to validate that Test-SqlDscIsLogin is called with this change.

Suggestion:

            { Assert-SqlDscLogin -ServerObject $mockServerObject -Name 'NonExistentLogin' } | Should -Throw

tests/Unit/Public/Assert-SqlDscLogin.Tests.ps1 line 125 at r11 (raw file):

Add a test 'Should have the correct parameters in parameter set <MockParameterSetName>' that validate parameters and parameter sets, use the template here:

It 'Should have the correct parameters in parameter set <MockParameterSetName>' -ForEach @(

MockParameterSetName = 'ServerObject'
MockExpectedParameters = '-ServerObject <Server> -Name <string> [-Force] [-Refresh] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]'
}
@{
MockParameterSetName = 'AuditObject'
MockExpectedParameters = '-AuditObject <Audit> [-Force] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]'
}
) {
$result = (Get-Command -Name 'Enable-SqlDscAudit').ParameterSets |

}
)
$result.ParameterSetName | Should -Be $MockParameterSetName
$result.ParameterListAsString | Should -Be $MockExpectedParameters
}

Also update the copilot-instructions.md to include that one test for public commands should always have a test to validate parameter set, and also add a template to copilot-instructions.md for AI agents to know how to make it.
