New Post: Confusion on Data Sources within a DataFlow Task

jlembke — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 21:25:23 GMT

I see that there are SsisUnit Source/Destination objects in the toolbox, but when I try to use these I get an error that says "Value of 'null' is not valid for 'stream'". Any ideas there?

New Post: Confusion on Data Sources within a DataFlow Task

jlembke — Thu, 30 May 2013 23:20:04 GMT

Hi John!
I was very glad to find ssisUnit, but I'm having trouble and I suspect what I want to do can't be done. In my Data Flow Task I have an OLEDB source that I transform and insert into a SQL source. Is it possible to unit test this with ssisUnit?

I set up a connection for the SqlCommands I use for setup and they work fine, but when the test tries to run the SSIS task, it fails because it is trying to make the connection it sees in the task itself. Am I misunderstanding how to use ssisUnit, or is this just a limitation?

BTW, I'm using SSIS 2012.

Thanks, Jeff

New Post: SSISUnit with SSIS 2012 for Project Deployment Model

o0ollo0o — Fri, 10 May 2013 17:37:11 GMT

I've built the solution successfully and I can run the sample test provided on this site.

I'd like to use SSISUnit to test my packages, but they are all in a solution using the project deployment model. Intuitively, I didn't think it would work as it needs the connections parameters, variables, etc... that are at the project level and SSISUnit seems to work at the package level.

When I run ssisUnitTestRunnerUI2012.exe and load my package, I get several complaints that my sorts, merge joins and ole db command "is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow". Additionally, it cannot find parameterized connections.

I just wanted to confirm that SSISUnit is not compatible with SSIS 2012 using the Project Deployment Model. If so, is a update going to be provided so that it does work?

New Post: Manually installing

Well, at least part of the story is to use the external tools manager to add the built ssisUnitTestRunnerUI2012.exe as an external tool.

Since I want to work with SQL Server 2012 I can't use the installer, I need to build the solution myself and install manually. Okay, I built it. Maybe I should know this already but, how do I manually install it?

The project's only mostly dead :)

I'm actually working on some updates, but real life has been incredibly busy the last couple of years, so this had to be on the back burner.

Anyway, in the next release, I'll include both 32- and 64-bit versions of the command line tool so you can do this a bit more easily.

New Post: pass variable to ssisUnit

nsotoudeh — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 22:46:41 GMT

does any body know how to pass a variable to unit test.
I modified the xml file to define a variable but it is not getting complie during run time as I the variable name shows in connection string( where I am using it) and not the variable value.

I appreciate any help.

1 -> There are some current users, based on the fact that I get occasional questions about it via CodePlex. How many are active users - that I'm not sure of.

2 -> It's been in hiatus for a while, due to some other work I've been wrapped up in. However, I hope to get started on it again soon.

Is there some specific functionality you are looking for?

-John

New Post: Looking for information on running ssisUnit in 32 bit mode

JeanPaulSmit — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:13:27 GMT

I ran into exact the same issue, and because this project seems to be no longer alive, I decided to grab the source code to compile it for x86.

The setting to run the package not in 64-bit mode, is a Visual Studio "dtproj.user" setting which isn't stored in the package. The tool doesn't check if it has to run in 32-bit so it runs in 64-bit mode which is most of the time ok. (32-bit is also an individual setting in SQL jobs to start the package)

I have a number of packages that read Excel files that I am attempting to create automated tests for. I keep running into the problem of running the package in 64-bit mode. I've set everything in BIDS to have the Run64BitRuntime = False but that does not seem to solve the issue.

Has anyone come across a solution for this? I was thinking maybe something for the ssisUnitTestRunnerUI2008.exe.config file. Or maybe setting it to 32-bit mode with CorFlag.

Any thoughts?

New Post: Link to SQL Server Management studio

Zouks — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 14:16:24 GMT

Hello John,

Thank you for the creative and the great effort. I was working with a test automation project for my team, and I was wondering if the tool allows me to link with SQL Server management studio, to run a package. In other words , I just want to try a package with bad source files as a test in the management studio.

Also I was wondering if there is any documentation for the tool yet ?

Please feel free to delete this post (if you can, I can't). I just created my account in order to post it, but in doing so I appeared to have missed a letter. And of course CodePlex doesn't allow me to change my username without re-registering. And even then, I can't associate this new (proper) account with my .NET Passport. *sigh*

When trying to build using VS2008 and Windows 7 I ran into a couple of erros. Here's what they were and how I resolved them.

Errors:

Error 1 Metadata file 'C:\CodePlex\ssisUnit\SsisUnitDesign\bin\Debug\SsisUnit2008.Design.dll' could not be found ssisUnitTestRunnerUI_SQL2008

Error 2 The command ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\gacutil.exe" -u SsisUnit2008.Design.dll" exited with code 3. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets 895 9 SsisUnit.Design_SQL2008

Modify the Project Properties of SsisUnit.Design_SQL2008. On the Build Events page I changed the path from: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\gacutil.exe" to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin\gacutil.exe".

Also, there are a lot of references to file paths C:\Projects\... throughout the solution. I saved my solution to C:\CodePlex so those all needed changing too.
