ProGet: NPM connector returns no records

At a customer we are using ProGet as our internal package manager server. ProGet supports a lot of different package formats including NPM and NuGet. Thanks to the usage of connectors you can even link to other package sources like the official NuGet feed or the official NPM registry.

Unfortunately after creating an NPM feed and linking it to the official NPM registry(https://registry.npmjs.org) using a connector, the connector didn’t do anything and our feed remained empty.

Turns out that a scheduled task exists that indexes the Npm registry but it only runs once a week by default.

To find this scheduled task, go to your Proget site and click on the Administration icon image on the right

After logging in, go to Scheduled Tasks below System settings

In the list of Scheduled Tasks you should find the ‘FullNpmConnectorIndex’ task. You can invoke it immediatelly by clicking on the ‘Play’ button at the right.

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

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         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
