To use this database with SQL Source Control, you must have Team Explorer installed.

Hi,
We already were using successfully Sql Source Control 6 linked to a GIT repository.
After upgrading to Sql Source Control 7 we are not able anymore to compare two commits. It always returns : To use this database with SQL Source Control, you must have Team Explorer installed. 

I cannot undestand what's changed, TFS server is the same, Sql Source Control SSMS plugin is able to correctly read repository...

    Sorry, a little update : It is not liked to a GIT repository but to a TFS repo.  TFS Server is the same as was configured in SqlSourceControl6, everything is the same, we just updated SqlSourceControl. Maybe I need to clear some cache?

    [EDIT] I also have a VisualStudio2017 installed with its TeamExplorer. SqlCompare v13.8
    Other Data : TFS server is a 2018. 

    [EDIT 2] If I open SqlCompare and I try to set source as TFS I get : You can't link to TFS because you don't have the required software installed. For TFS2010 or later you can either use... etc..
    I have : SSMS 17.6 - VS 2017 Team Explorer

    Hi @cca

    Sorry, you're experiencing this issue!

    So this is a recent bug with SQL Compare using the integration of SQL Source Control connecting to TFS, the team is currently  investigating the issue with the following reference: SOC-10208

    The current workaround I suggest is rather than selecting SQL Source Control as the Source or Target in SQL Compare, is to select a Scripts folder and reference the local copy of the repository.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi,

    Unfortunately the bug reference is internal and would advise keeping an eye on the release notes for both SQL Source Control and SQL Compare
