TeamCity error : roundhouse.databases.sqlserver.SqlServerDatabase with provider System.Data.SqlClient does not provide a facility for creating a database at this time.

.NET Core 2.2.0

No problems running locally. However in TeamCity when run postBuild.cmd receive error :

[14:03:38]
[Step 2/11] Creating MY_DATABASE database on localhost server if it doesn't exist.
[14:03:52]
[Step 2/11] roundhouse.databases.sqlserver.SqlServerDatabase with provider System.Data.SqlClient does not provide a facility for creating a database at this time.

TeamCity Build Agent Service Account has been permissioned SA on the target SQL Server.

Are you running against SQL Azure, by any chance? I don't think RoundhousE can create a database in SQL Azure automatically (I'm not sure why, haven't looked into it).

[jgrandydev]

No this is not SQL Azure. This is SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2016 installed on standalone servers.

Now I am seeing this same error in my local builds.
Apparently RoundhousE is unable to create database if it does not exist.
What are some possible reasons ?

  Creating MyDatabase database on localhost server if it doesn't exist.

Is the SQL Server instance running?
Is the Named Pipes Protocol enabled in the SQL Server configuration?

This looks like an error with your local environment, check that the connection string is correct. Re the error message:
