NDbUnit- Invalid object name

For our integration testing, we are using NDbUnit, a free open source .NET library for managing database state during testing. It ensures that our database is always in a consistent state before we start the execution of our tests. It uses an XSD schema to describe the database tables and an XML file can be used to provide the content.

After configuring everything, we initialized our database using following code

   1:  var mySqlDatabase = new NDbUnit.Core.SqlClient.SqlDbUnitTest(@"server=;user=;password=;initial catalog=");
   2:  mySqlDatabase.ReadXmlSchema(@"./Test.xsd");
   3:  mySqlDatabase.ReadXml("./Data.xml");
   4:  mySqlDatabase.PerformDbOperation(NDbUnit.Core.DbOperationFlag.CleanInsertIdentity);

But instead of populating our database with the correct values, we got an Invalid Object Name exception for each table. We found out that NDbUnit uses the default schema of the user specified in the connection string to look for the tables. So if you are using a different schema NDbUnit will not succeed in executing its scripts.



Something to keep in mind…

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cache stampede: when our cache turned against us

While investigating some performance issues, we ran into an ASP.NET Core API that cached a fairly expensive aggregation query for 60 seconds. Under normal load, that was fine: one request rebuilds the cache, everyone else reads from it. Under peak load, dozens of requests would arrive in that same expiry window, all see a cache miss, and all fire the same expensive query in parallel. The database didn't like that. That was the moment when our caching layer stopped helping and started hurting. A burst of requests comes in at the same time, all miss the cache, and all go hammer the database or the downstream API at once. That's a cache stampede . The cache was supposed to protect our backend, and for a few hundred milliseconds it did the opposite. Why this happens IMemoryCache.GetOrCreate (and its async sibling) looks like it protects you, but it doesn't add any locking on its own. Look at the naive version: public async Task<Report> GetReportAsync(string key) ...
