Appharbor don't inserts connection string from Sequelizer

Question

I have a ASP.NET MVC project with integrity test. In test app.config I have a

    <connectionStrings>
        <add name="localhost" connectionString="server=.\SQLEXPRESS;database=repaem;
Integrated Security=SSPI;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    </connectionStrings>

I've created Connectionstring alias "localhost" in Sequelizer MSSQL configuration. But when I deploy, tests fails with message "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "repaem" requested by the login. The login failed." Probably, connection string remains the same...

I have tried to create ConnectionFactory manually, as described in http://support.appharbor.com/kb/add-ons/using-sequelizer.

var uriString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SQLSERVER_URI"];
var uri = new Uri(uriString);
SqlConnectionFactory factory = new SqlConnectionFactory(uri.Host, uri.AbsolutePath.Trim('/'), uri.UserInfo.Split(':').First(), uri.UserInfo.Split(':').Last());

Bind<IDatabase>().To<Database>().InSingletonScope().WithConstructorArgument("factory", factory);

but ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SQLSERVER_URI"] is null.

Are you trying to use the database while executing unit tests? That's not supported, the connectionstring is only inserted once the code is deployed.

Here are some additional resources:
