Summary
This PR resolves two issues we ran into while using ResetDevSite to setup a new DNN dev site (plus a third issue that I thought about while in the code).
DatabasePath Normalization
The first issue is that you get an obscure SQL error if the
DatabasePath
in your local settings uses/
instead of\
(or, really\\
since it's a JSON file).DatabasePath Creation
The extra issue is that if
DatabasePath
doesn't already exist you get the following error:Blank DnnConnectionString
The final issue we ran into was leaving
DnnConnectionString
blank and then getting a Yellow Screen of Death when theweb.config
was updated with the blank value. I added a check and throw an error if you're trying to set theweb.config
with a blank connection string.
