Description

Following the Instrucctions to publish WWI database I've got this error.

The path specified by "WideWorldImporters_WWI_MemoryOptimized_Data_696E7800.mdf" is not in a valid directory. (65,1): SQL72014: .Net SqlClient Data Provider: Mens. 5121, nivel 16, estado 2, línea 1 The path specified by "WideWorldImporters_WWI_MemoryOptimized_Data_696E7800.mdf" is not in a valid directory. (65,0):

The problematic code makes reference to empty variables $(DefaultDataPath)$(DefaultFilePrefix)
:setvar DefaultDataPath "" :setvar DefaultLogPath "" ... ALTER DATABASE [$(DatabaseName)] ADD FILE (NAME = [WWI_MemoryOptimized_Data_696E7800], FILENAME = N'$(DefaultDataPath)$(DefaultFilePrefix)_WWI_MemoryOptimized_Data_696E7800.mdf') TO FILEGROUP [WWI_MemoryOptimized_Data];

Research direction

Start with the WideWorldImporters SSDT publishing instructions and the database script section that uses $(DefaultDataPath)$(DefaultFilePrefix) for the memory-optimized data file. Reproduce publishing on SQL Server 2017 in Docker, then verify the default data path is handled without manual assignment to /var/opt/mssql/data.
