I am performing SQL Server schema comparison using Visual Studio 2017. I am pressing on "Generate script" button of Schema Compare utility and see the message
"Update scripts generated successfully"
However, I am unable to see the generated script. Any idea where this went or if it failed?

On the Tools menu, select SQL Server, and then click New Schema Comparison. Alternatively, right-click the TradeDev project in Solution Explorer, and select Schema Compare. The Schema Compare window opens, and Visual Studio automatically assigns it a name such as SqlSchemaCompare1 .
To change the default schema for all future objects, right-click the Project and select "Properties". Under "Project Settings", change the Default Schema in the "General" section. That won't change existing objects, but new ones will be created in that schema.
According to this page "The generated script appears in a new Transact-SQL Editor window".
When this didn't work for me, i closed all open windows other than the schema compare window and re-checkmarked all differences in the list (i had un-checked some). After doing this and running "Generate Script" again, Visual Studio did actually open a new window with the script (The filename was "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\MyDbName_Update1.publish.sql").

I've noticed that if SSMS is running , SSDT won't generate Schema Compare script. As soon as I close SSMS and try to generate script again SSDT creates one successfully.
