I am using Visual Studio Pro 2019 (16.9.4) and SQL Server Data Tools (16.0.62103.10080) but this happens since the beginning of Visual Studio 2019.
I use the Schema Comparison tool to compare databases/dacpac vs SQL projects. And everything goes fine until one day the comparison does not match the objects from the source and target and suggests a creation and drop of ALL the object in the database as shown here:
I believe that something gets corrupted in the project, because from that moment on, the comparison tool is unable to match objects any more.
I've tried to erase *.dbmdl file, change the codification of the files (UTF-8 with/without BOM), erase the project and download it again, etc. but nothing works.
The same database/dacpac against other projects works fine... so it's something about the project!
Any suggestions?
