Enum causing issues

See original GitHub issue

Thanks for such a great library. It got me up and running in no time. However I have found that when C# class has Enum the change notifications doesn’t work. I am wondering if someone can please double check the issue. To reproduce the issue you can use the below code.

SQL table script:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestResults](
	[TestResultId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
	[JobId] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
	[BuildCode] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
	[CustomerSequenceNumber] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
	[TestStatus]  AS (case when ltrim(rtrim(isnull([ERRORMESSAGE],'')))='' then 'Pass' else 'Fail' end) PERSISTED NOT NULL,
	[ErrorMessage] [nvarchar](512) NULL,
	[TestDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
	[TotalTimeInSeconds] [decimal](18, 2) NOT NULL,
	[StationId] [int] NOT NULL,
	[ShiftId] [int] NOT NULL,
	[RecipeId] [int] NULL,
	[DuplicateTestResult] [bit] NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_TestResults] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
	[TestResultId] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[TestResults] ADD  CONSTRAINT [DF_TestResults_DuplicateTestResult]  DEFAULT ((0)) FOR [DuplicateTestResult]
GO

insert into TestResults
(
JobId
, BuildCode
, CustomerSequenceNumber
, ErrorMessage
, TestDate
, TotalTimeInSeconds
, StationId
, ShiftId
, RecipeId
, DuplicateTestResult
) values 
(
1441820	
, NULL	
, NULL	
, 'Random error'
, '2018-11-26 15:57:50'	
, 120	
, 2	
, 1
, 18	
, 0
)

and below C# code:

public partial class TestResult
{
   public int TestResultId { get; set; }
   public string JobId { get; set; }
   public string BuildCode { get; set; }
   public string CustomerSequenceNumber { get; set; }
   public TestStatus TestStatus { get; set; } //As long as this line is commented everything works
   public string ErrorMessage { get; set; }
   public DateTime TestDate { get; set; }
   public decimal TotalTimeInSeconds { get; set; }
   public int StationId { get; set; }
   public int ShiftId { get; set; }
   public int? RecipeId { get; set; }
   public bool DuplicateTestResult { get; set; }
}

public enum TestStatus
{
   None,
   Pass,
   Fail
}

internal class Program
{
   private static readonly string _connectionString = "Server=someserver;Initial Catalog=somedb;User id=uid;Password=password;MultipleActiveResultSets=True";
   private static void Main(string[] args)
   {
   	using (var dep = new SqlTableDependency<TestResult>(_connectionString, "TestResults"))
   	{
   		dep.OnChanged += Changed;
   		dep.OnError += Dep_OnError;
   		dep.Start();

   		Console.WriteLine("Press a key to exit");
   		Console.ReadKey();

   		dep.Stop();
   	}
   }

   private static void Dep_OnError(object sender, ErrorEventArgs e)
   {
   	Console.WriteLine(e.Error);
   }

   public static void Changed(object sender, RecordChangedEventArgs<TestResult> e)
   {
   	var changedEntity = e.Entity;
   	Console.WriteLine("DML operation: " + e.ChangeType + ", ID: " + changedEntity.TestResultId);
   }
}

I have checked the test cases including “EnumTestSqlServer.cs” file. The difference I noticed is that in this file enum is byte type so I am assuming the value stored in DB is number however in my case I am storing string DB (like “Pass”/“Fail”) and since I am using EF Core it takes care of converting string to enum.
