We use AsciiDoc as the format for our documentation for the user group project. AsciiDoc is a bit like Markdown, but it supports multi-file documents out of the box and without any quirks. We use the Ruby app Asciidoctor to turn our AsciiDoc files into a PDF as part of our build job. Since building …
The code coverage is an important part of the quality metrics of SonarQube. Unfortunately, SonarQube needs some extra steps to use our code coverage reports from our Azure DevOps pipeline as part of its code analysis. As in the last posts on code coverage, we again use Coverlet and ReportGenerator as part of our Azure …
Last week we used Coverlet and ReportGenerator to collect code coverage on our development machines. In this post we continue this journey and extend our build pipelines to get a nice coverage report with every continuous integration build. Extending the test task We can collect the code coverage files in the build pipeline by …
For .Net 4.8 it was enough to install Visual Studio Enterprise Edition on the build server and check the box for code coverage in the Testing task of Azure DevOps. The build agent then collected the coverage data and published it as part of your builds. Unfortunately, for .Net 6 this no longer works, and …
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: The error message of the first failed step showed the problem: Could not …
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 Should you ever run into a problem like this, make sure that you update the Azure Resource Manager …
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 …
For the last 3 years we used Let’s Encrypt certificates for our user group site. Since there is no direct and easy-to-use solution in Azure, we needed the sjkp plug-in. Unfortunately, that no longer works after we moved from Windows to Linux as the hosting platform and we needed to fall back to a manual …
One of the most important ideas of agile software development is for me the short feedback cycle. Instead of working for weeks or even months at a problem on our own, we try to get feedback as fast as we can. That not only works with user stories; we can apply this idea to every …
At the user group site, we use GitVersion to turn our git history into a Semantic Version number. After we switched to main as the default branch, our build failed with this error message: ERROR [****] An unexpected error occurred: System.InvalidOperationException: Could not find a ‘develop’ or ‘master’ branch, neither locally nor remotely. GitVersion did …
