Deploy Dacpac packages via power shell script to Azure SQL Server

Question

I'm trying to deploy multiple dacpac's during single build process by using PowerShell script.

param(
    [string]$publish_profile,
    [string]$path_to_snapshots,
    [string]$password 
)

#Load Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac assembly
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac")

#Load Dac profile 
$dacProfile = [Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac.DacProfile]::Load($publish_profile)
$dacService = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac.DacServices($dacProfile.TargetConnectionString)

$files = Get-ChildItem  "$path_to_snapshots\*.dacpac"
foreach ($file in $files) 
{
    $fileName = $file.Name 
    Try
    {
            $dp = [Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac.DacPackage]::Load($file.FullName)
            $dacService.Deploy($dp, $database, $true) 
        }
    }
    Catch
    {
        Write-Host "$fileName deployment has been failed"  -foregroundcolor "red"
        throw $_.Exception;
        Break
    }
}

On my local environment everything works great, but during build process on the Visual Studio team services I get an error:

2017-02-24T06:03:09.7955300Z *********.dacpac deployment has been failed

First, you need to add firewall rule in order to connect to Azure SQL Server.

1. Edit your build definition
2. Select Option tab and check Allow Scripts to Access OAuth Token
3. Add Azure PowerShell step (arguments: -RestAddress https://[account].vsdtl.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/vslabs/ipaddress -Token $(System.AccessToken) -RG [resource group] -Server [server name] -ruleName $(Build.BuildNumber)

Code:

param (
    [string]$RestAddress,
    [string]$Token,
    [string]$RG,
    [string]$Server
    )
$basicAuth = ("{0}:{1}" -f 'test',$Token)
$basicAuth = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($basicAuth)
$basicAuth = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($basicAuth)
$headers = @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $basicAuth)}
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $RestAddress -headers $headers -Method Get
Write-Host $result.value
New-AzureRmSqlServerFirewallRule -ResourceGroupName $RG -ServerName $Server -FirewallRuleName "UnitTestRule" -StartIpAddress "$($result.value)" -EndIpAddress "$($result.value)"        

Secondly, I recommend you use the assembly in this package: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac.

Thirdly, to get the detail error, you can use this code instead:

Catch
    {
        Write-Host "$fileName deployment has been failed"  -foregroundcolor "red"
         $Error | format-list -force
        Write-Host $Error[0].Exception.ParentContainsErrorRecordException;
        Break
    }

On the other hand, I recommend you can deploy SQL package through SqlPackage.exe.
