Hi,
Have you checked, if you have a localdb running? Please test the connection string with a MS SQL Client.
I get this issue, if no local SQL Server is installed.

I'm running SQL Server Developer Edition locally, I can connect to localdb with server=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB does it need to be a specific version?

my local dev edition is 16.0.4175.1 but localdb is 15.0.4382 (this is installed because VS uses it)

Should be fine. I need to test more.
I use it on a daily basis with Azure SQL Database and with SQL Server Express 2022 in DevOps Pipelines. Infrequently with SQL Server on Linux in a container.

please try to add ;Integrated Security=True' to the connection string.
