Missing features in styles
I'm transitioning from the SSMS version to ADS version and have noticed at least two missing features in styles... (I'm unsure of the exact names since I can no longer access the SSMS version).Remo...

Hi @DaveBabler, @RajivYanamandra and others, We've released a new version of our ADS extension (0.2.9) which addresses issues with importing snippets. Could you please update and check if issues you reported are now fixed for you? Many thanks Mel
Unfortunately, I am still experiencing this issue. [image]
I'm glad someone showed a screenshot of the settings.... I was getting the same error, but then noticed the extension uses a FILE, while SSMS uses multiple files in a FOLDER. Adding snippets.json to the end of your Ads snippets file path should do the trick...

Additionally, despite using the sa account, another fairly complex project is having a similar issue. During project refresh, it hangs for literally 5 minutes (at either 96% or 98%) during "Reading Dependencies," and then completes. But a callout on two tables shows an error similar to the windows auth issue above.

If it hangs at 96%, then two errors show up for the same two tables, not one. The additional error just has a different "initialization" value. It turns out these two tables are using the same existing data source (which is also being generated), and that the preview pane is stuck on that source table.

Please advise.
I just realized the entirety of the second post was due to the connections to the source for each table were still using windows auth. It seems to be working now with everything set to use sa account. / comments

Is Windows authentication broken in SQL Data Generator?
I've been using data generator quite extensively for the past several months. Recently, projects that had worked before started failing. The issue seems to be related to windows auth, since switc...
The quick fix is, don't launch SSMS (or other extension consumers?) first after newing up a system. Launch one of the RG apps, which will give you the same dialog, but it allows you to authenticate. Then the SSMS plugin works fine. [image]
Could someone explain the efficacy of requiring a login to even run the tooling? What if I'm installing in an isolated (from web) dev/test environment? (which we have plenty of, but I've never had to try, yet) / comments
