ASP.NET Core 1.1 –Error in Response Caching Middleware

After putting a first version of our ASP.NET Core application into acceptance, we got a strange bug back.

Sometimes after a cold start, users mentioned that the dropdown lists inside the application were empty. The application is using the Response Caching middleware to prevent having to fetch those lists over and over again from the database.

When looking at the server logs, we found the following error message:

exception": "System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. Key: \r\n at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowAddingDuplicateWithKeyArgumentException(Object key)\r\n at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add)\r\n at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary2.Add(TKey key, TValue value)\r\n at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Internal.Http.FrameResponseHeaders.AddValueFast(String key, StringValues value)\r\n at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Internal.Http.FrameHeaders.System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<System.String,Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives.StringValues>.Add(String key, StringValues value)\r\n at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Internal.Http.FrameHeaders.System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<System.String,Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives.StringValues>>.Add(KeyValuePair2 item)\r\n at Microsoft.AspNetCore.ResponseCaching.ResponseCachingMiddleware.d__10.MoveNext()\r\n--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---\r\n at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)\r\n at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)\r\n at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter1.GetResult()\r\n at Microsoft.AspNetCore.ResponseCaching.ResponseCachingMiddleware.d__11.MoveNext()\r\n--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---

Seems there is a bug in the Response Caching Middleware, the response caching middleware is causing an exception when it tries to add the same header. This is a bug that should be fixed in  the ASP.NET Core 1.1.1 patch.

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         ...

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...
