Angular - Karma–Chromeless tests fail with ERROR - Disconnected, because no message in 10000 ms.

After switching from PhantomJs to Chrome in headless mode for our Angular tests, our tests started to behave flaky with sometimes success and sometimes failure. When the tests failed, we saw the following error message in the logs:

[32m28 08 2018 10:41:44.851:INFO [HeadlessChrome 68.0.3440 (Windows 7.0.0)]: [39mConnected on socket W4CI4bKonF845CKZAAAA with id 22875346

To fix it, we changed the default Karma settings to a more fault tolerant configuration.Therefore we opened up the karma.conf.js file and added the following 2 settings:

  • browserDisconnectTolerance: 2, // maximum number of tries a browser will attempt in the case of a disconnection
  • browserNoActivityTimeout: 50000, // How long will Karma wait for a message from a browser before disconnecting from it (in ms).

Here is our complete karma.conf.js file:

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         ...

VS Code Planning mode

After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
