SonarCloud–New Code Definition

When scanning a project for the first time through SonarCloud in your Azure DevOps build pipeline, a new SonarCloud project is created automatically.

The second time your build runs a comparison is done and you’ll have your first Quality Gate results. At least that is the theory…

When we tried to do this for a new project, the corresponding SonarCloud project was created. However we got the following warning when browsing to this project in SonarCloud:

This is a new requirement for every SonarCloud project to specify how ‘new code’ is identified. You can choose between the following options:

  • Previous version: All code that has changed since the previous version
  • Number of days: All code that has changed in the last x days
  • Specific date: All code that has changed since the specified date

It can be set in the organization settings(Organization –> Administration –> New Code) and applies to all new projects.

Unfortunately setting this didn’t resolve the issue for this already existing project. I couldn’t find a way to get rid of the error so in the end I solved it by throwing away and recreating the project.

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

I’m really bad at remembering emoji’s. So here is cheat sheet with all emoji’s that can be used in tools that support the github emoji markdown markup: All credits go to rcaviers who created this list.

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’: ...
