CREATE DATABASE statement not allowed within multi-statement transaction

Question

I\'m trying to build a quick test that deletes and recreates a database every time it runs. I have the following:

[TestClass]
public class PocoTest
{
    privat         


        

Answer 1

In case anyone else runs into this issue:

In my Repository class, I have another definition of what's commonly labeled a "dbContext" - ProjectDataSource. This means that one context was created in my test class, while another was created in my Repository object. Sending the connectionstring to my repo class solved the problem:

In Repository:

public class Repository : IRepository
    {
        private readonly ProjectDataSource _db;

        public Repository(string connectionString)
        {
            _db = new ProjectDataSource(connectionString);   
        }

        public Repository()
        {
            _db = new ProjectDataSource();   
        }

From my test:

private TransactionScope _transactionScope;
        private Repository _repository;
        private ProjectDataSource _dataSource; 
        private const string _connectionString = "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=test_db;Trusted_Connection=True";

        [TestInitialize]
        public virtual void TestInitialize()
        {
            _repository = new Repository(_connectionString);
            _dataSource = new ProjectDataSource(_connectionString);
            _dataSource.Database.Delete();
            _dataSource.Database.CreateIfNotExists();
            _transactionScope = new TransactionScope();
        }
