[BUG] CI/CD error when overwriting NewBcContainer.ps1 to connect the Docker container to an external database in a self-hosted runner setup

Describe the issue

Hello dear AL-Go Team,
when running the CI/CD workflow, we would like to connect the container to an external database.

Based on previous disscussion (see #1901), I was able to restore the database before creating the container.

Now that I have added the new parameters, the workflow is returning an error message.

$parameters.databaseServer = 'localhost'
$parameters.databaseInstance = ''
$parameters.databaseName = 'MYDATABASE'
$parameters.databaseCredential = $databaseCredential

Thank you in advance!

Expected behavior

The CI/CD workflow can download the symbols even if the container is connected to an external database.

Steps to reproduce

• Repository: https://github.com/christianbraeunlich/al-go-publish-app-issue
  • please find the NewBcContainer.ps1 in the DE project
• Host: Windows 11 24H2 (OS Build 26100.6584
• Docker Engine (v28.0.4)
• Self-hosted GitHub Runner, running as a Service by the LOCAL ACCOUNT user
• MS SQL Server 2022 (Developer Edition)
  • install feature Full-text Search
  • new Login User: bc-docker-devops (with permissions to restore the database)
  • allow SQL Server authentication (not only Windows)
  • enable SQL Server Network Protocol TCP/IP and Named Pipes
• Create a backup of an existing BC (container) database
  • artifactUrl: (Get-BCArtifactUrl -type OnPrem -country de -version '25.0')
  • multitenant: $false
  • save the backup file as: C:\ProgramData\BcContainerHelper\temp\mydatabase
