GraphQL–HotChocolate–How to handle an incomplete schema

HotChocolate does a lot of effort to validate that you produced a valid schema before your application starts up. This is useful when a feature is ready but during development it can be annoying as maybe you already want to run your application before having resolvers ready for every field in your schema.

By default when you try to run with an incomplete schema, you’ll get an error message similar to the following:

An error occurred while starting the application.

SchemaException: The schema builder was unable to identify the query type of the schema. Either specify which type is the query type or set the schema builder to non-strict validation mode.

HotChocolate.SchemaBuilder.Create() in SchemaBuilder.Create.cs, line 0

· SchemaException: The schema builder was unable to identify the query type of the schema. Either specify which type is the query type or set the schema builder to non-strict validation mode.

o HotChocolate.SchemaBuilder.Create() in SchemaBuilder.Create.cs

As mentioned inside the error message you can change this behavior by setting the schema builder to non-strict validation mode. But how exactly can you do this?

I’ll provide you the answer; during schema creation you can modify the options:

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...
