Causes SQL connection errors?

[davidpricedev]

Causes SQL connection errors. When I install this extension, VS2013 constantly locks up and after a bit it will show an error message: "A netowrk-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. ...". I can click OK to make that message go away, but VS will lock up again immediately and be locked until it throws that error message again (repeated until I kill VS with Task Manager). I uninstalled this extension and the issue went away. So it is definitely something this extension is doing.

In the background while VS was locked up, I noticed that this plugin did work - it found my tests and ran them. I'm excited about getting this into our process.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I am honestly baffled by ths issue. I am quite sure, that the adapter does not try to connect to an SQL server anywhere in the code. Could you be using another extension, that does connect to an SQL server, and somehow conflcts with the adapter?
I would be interested in seeing your log file (you should be able to find one here: %LocalAppData%/2PS/KarmaTestAdapter/KarmaTestAdapter.log).

I don't see much in the log that would indicate any issues. I did another test, my first attempt was with an asp.net forms project together with a front-end project. I tried opening the front-end project on its own and re-installed the plugin and everything worked fine. So whatever is causing the problem must be only with the asp.net forms application. I tried with a blank new asp.net forms app and the problem did not recur. So the issue is some interaction with that particular forms app. I'm thinking this is probably not something you can solve.

I've tried a bunch of other things and things seem to be working now. There has to be something strange going on with the VS user settings on the project or solution that was causing this - or maybe some temporary files created to help facilitate testing - since it was also tied at least partially to when the test explorer window was open.

Sorry to bother you with an non-relevant issue. Thanks for the quick response!

Here are the other extensions I have installed:

• CodeMaid
• Grunt Launcher
• Open Command Line
• Package Intellisense
• Productivity Power tools
• Shared Project Reference Manager
• Task Runner Explorer
• Web Essentials
• (and a bunch of others that come from Microsoft and are probably in every install of VS)
