.NET Core - Unable to register data tier application

[Huppie]

I'm running into the same issue mentioned here on the Microsoft docs page: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/sql-docs/issues/4230

It looks like the registration part is failing in .NET Core, both when using the package (I've tried basically all versions) and when running sqlpackage manually. Here's my code in C#

var connectionString = $"Data Source=tcp:{dbServer}.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog={dbName};User ID={dbUser}@{dbServer};Password={dbPassword};Integrated Security=False;Encrypt=True";
var dacServices = new DacServices(connectionString);
using var dacPackage = DacPackage.Load(dacpacFileStream);
var dacDeployOptions = new DacDeployOptions
{
  CommandTimeout = (int)TimeSpan.FromMinutes(25).TotalSeconds,
  BlockWhenDriftDetected = false,
  DropConstraintsNotInSource = true,
  DropObjectsNotInSource = true,
  DropIndexesNotInSource = true,
  RegisterDataTierApplication = true,
  ScriptDatabaseOptions = false
};
dacServices.Deploy(dacPackage, dbName, true, dacDeployOptions);

The exception I'm getting has an InnerException of type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Deployment.DeploymentFailedException with the message Unable to register data-tier application: Cannot get stream with FileMode.Create, FileMode.CreateNew, FileMode.Truncate, FileMode.Append when access is FileAccess.Read.

The issue seems to be registering in the master table, I've drilled it down to:

var connectionString = $"Data Source=tcp:{dbServer}.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog={dbName};User ID={dbUser}@{dbServer};Password={dbPassword};Integrated Security=False;Encrypt=True";
var dacServices = new DacServices(connectionString);
dacServices.Register(request.DbName, dacPackage.Name, dacPackage.Version, dacPackage.Description);

which still ends with the same exception.

You can reproduce it in the .NET Core version of sqlpackage like this:

sqlpackage /a:publish /sf:.\MyDacpac-version.dacpac /tcs:"Data Source=tcp:dbServer.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=dbName;User ID=dbUser@dbServer;Password=dbPassword;Integrated Security=False;Encrypt=True" /p:RegisterDataTierApplication=true /d:True

The diagnostics ouput traces this exception:

followed by this is the error output of the console:

*** Could not deploy package.

Any idea what's going on here?

A fix for this will be available in sqlpackage 18.6, the next planned release. Hopefully this release will be available later this month (end of August).
