How to Get Faster Test Tasks in Your Azure DevOps Pipeline
A side effect we noticed after the migration to .Net 6 was that the test task in Azure DevOps took a lot longer than before. The test execution itself did not change much, but the dotnet test task had much more overhead than vstest. As an example, the test task took 4m 48s, while the test execution only took 1m 34s – giving us an overhead of 3m 14s or roughly 75% of the total time:
The Mysterious Multiplication of NUnit Tests in Azure DevOps
We recently had a strange behaviour in Azure DevOps: When we run our tests there, the test runner found nearly 16'000 tests. If we run the tests for the same solution in Visual Studio, we only had about 2'000 tests. Where did those additional 14'000 tests come from?
How to Reset Your Admin Credentials in Seq
A few days back I lost my admin credentials to the Seq server on my development machine. Luckily, there is an easy way to reset those credentials and keep all your data.
How to Install SonarQube 9.9+ as a Windows Service

Where to Find OpenJDK 17 for SonarQube?
The new LTS version 9.9 of SonarQube comes with a lot of changes. One of that changes is that OpenJDK 11 is no longer supported to run the SonarQube Server. Unfortunately, I could not find an OpenJDK 17 on openjdk.org. So, where can we find that specific version without licensing it from Oracle?
How to Restore a *.BACPAC File Without SQL Server Enterprise Edition?
For many years we could use this post to restore the Azure *.bacpac file with the backup of our user group web site. As I tried it today, I ended up with a long wait time (nearly 20 minutes) and multiple errors:
Azure and Terraform: What to Do if .Net 7 Is Unknown?
After we figured out the problem with the AlwaysOn default setting between Terraform and a Linux environment in Azure, we run into the next Problem:
Error: expected site_config.0.application_stack.0.dotnet_version to be one of [3.1 5.0 6.0], got 7.0
Azure & Terraform: The Tiny but Important Difference Between Windows & Linux
As part of the release build of our user group site, we use Terraform to create a BDD environment from scratch, run the acceptance tests and then destroy the environment to keep the cost down. As we recently switched the BDD environment from Windows to Linux, we run into this error:
Error: creating Linux Web App: (Site Name "***" / Resource Group "***"): web.AppsClient#CreateOrUpdate: Failure sending request: StatusCode=409 -- Original Error: Code="Conflict" Message="There was a conflict. AlwaysOn cannot be set for this site as the plan does not allow it. For more information on pricing and features, please see: https://aka.ms/appservicepricingdetails "
