Smart Diff not working in v2.2.0.0 (Smart Diff requires SSAS extension in SSDT to be installed) #50
Comments

What do you see at the top of that BIDS Helper Version screen? You are in a SSAS Tabular project correct? What compatibility level is it? Did you not get a pop up saying that you have SSDT for SQL 2017 installed and BI Developer Extensions needs to reconfigure itself? If you close and reopen all Visual Studio instances can you reproduce the problem? It should have closed Visual Studio for you and reopened it with the right configuration. |

The top of the version screen says:
BI Developer Extensions for SQL Server 2019
Version 2.2.0.0
https://bideveloperextensions.github.io
SSDTBI 2019 (15.0.900.163) for Visual Studio 2017
The project I'm working on is a Business Intelligence Integration Services project, just a run of the mill project to create SSIS packages. Target is SQL Server 2016, I'm not sure how to determine the compatibility level. I would really like to use Smart Diff on SSRS rdl files as well, I get the same error when I try that.
To install, I selected the new version from the VS Tools | Extensions and Updates menu, then closed VS, and installation began. When it completed, there was a pop up message, but I don't recall if it said anything about BI Developer Extensions reconfiguring itself.
I have opened and closed VS several time since then, but the error remains.
Here is the info from the VS Help | About dialog:

So you do have a fairly new version of SSDT and ignore what I said about SQL 2017. Looks like you don’t have the Analysis Services portion installed. Apparently Smart Diff requires that. Easiest way for you to get Smart Diff working is to run the SSDT installer again and choose Analysis Services it install it from Extensions and Tools I will leave this issue open so we look and how to make Smart Diff work without SSAS installed. |

Thank you.
I installed SSAS, and Smart Diff works properly now.

We have released a beta release which fixes the issue identified in this thread. To do Smart Diff on an SSIS package you shouldn't have to have the SSAS extension installed. And vice versa you don't have to have the SSIS extension installed to use Smart Diff on an SSAS project. We plan to allow the week of 2019-04-22 for beta testing before releasing this to the public. Please download the release from here and please read the release notes there: |

Hi,
Thank you for notifying me of the update to BIDS Helper
I downloaded and installed the new BIDS Helper beta last week after updating SSDT as instructed.
Up til now I have had no problems, though I didn't actually use any extensions. Today I used the Create Fixed Width Columns feature, I don't know if that is related.
Now, when I try to open the Variables page of a package, BIDS Helper crashes. This is in the application event log:
First error:

I uninstalled the beta and reinstalled from within VS Extensions and Updates, which did not help. The error did not occur while BID Helper was uninstalled, but returned after it was reinstalled.
This version information was shown:
BIDS Helper Version shows v 2.3.1.0
SSDTBI 2019 (15.0.1200.68) for Visual Studio 2017 was detected.
SSDT Extensions Installed: SSAS (N/A), SSIS (2.2), SSRS (2.0)
Please upgrade SSRS to 2.5.6
I could not find SSRS 2.5.6, only 2.5.5 and 2.5.7. I installed 2.5.7
The version information is now:

SSDTBI 2019 (15.0.1200.68) for Visual Studio 2017 was detected.
SSDT Extensions Installed: SSAS (N/A), SSIS (2.2), SSRS (2.5.7)
Now when I attempt to do a variety of things in VS, I get a BIDS Helper exception dialog. I'm going to paste in a graphic:
This appears every repeatedly when I click various things in VS, e.g., Open project in Solution explorer, open a package in a project, switch between the VS Variables, Error List, and Output windows, and others.
To summarize, before updating SSRS from 2.0 to 2.5.7, VS would crash when attempting to open the SSIS variables window, after updating to SSRS 2.5.7, the error message about is displayed many times.

Hi, just installed v 2.2.0.0 and tried Smart Diff.
When attempting to use SmartDiff, I get:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Backedn, Version 15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
This happens if I use the Default VS DIff View, or a third party command line viewer, vsdiff.exe.
I get this message in VS Options | BIDS Helper | Version:
