Akka.NET TestKit–No tests found to run.

I’m currently working on a project where I’m using Akka.NET and the Actor model. I’m amazed by the ease-of-use and how the actor model itself makes complex problems easy to implement. Anyway, I lost some time today investigating a problem that a colleague had. After installing TestKit and writing his first actor based unit test, the Test Runner explorer refused to work and the only output we got was:

No tests found to run.

After a few minutes I realized our mistake, we downloaded the Akka.TestKit.NUnit which is suitable for NUnit 2 and older. However we are using NUnit3, which requires a different NuGet package; Akka.TestKit.NUnit3.  After installing the correct NuGet package, our tests appeared and the problem was gone.

Kind of stupid to stumble over this problem because I had the same issue before (and even mentioned it explicitly in a previous blog post about Akka.NET; http://bartwullems.blogspot.be/2016/07/testing-your-akkanet-actors-using.html) Confused smile

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

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         ...
