Azure DevOps - SonarQube - error CS0006: Metadata file 'Google.Protobuf.dll' could not be found

Automated deployments are great, until the moment your builds start to fail due to side-effects.

Last week when trying to build and deploy an application using Azure DevOps, the build failed with the following error messages in the log:

2019-02-20T20:47:57.0671661Z   CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file 'D:\b\3\_work\_temp\.sonarqube\resources\0\Google.Protobuf.dll' could not be found

2019-02-20T20:47:57.0671661Z   CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file 'D:\b\3\_work\_temp\.sonarqube\resources\0\SonarAnalyzer.CSharp.dll' could not be found

2019-02-20T20:47:57.0671661Z   CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file 'D:\b\3\_work\_temp\.sonarqube\resources\0\SonarAnalyzer.dll' could not be found

I knew that I had seen this error before: https://bartwullems.blogspot.com/2018/11/tfs-build-sonarqube-error.html, but the things that worked then didn’t help.

After rebooting the server, cleaning the build folder, praying to all the known and unknown gods, I finally found a solution(read workaround) that worked:

I deleted all the .sonarqube folders found in the ‘_work’ directory of the build agent.

Anyone who has a ‘real’ solution?

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         ...

Azure DevOps/ GitHub emoji

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’: ...
