AutoRest- Duplicate operation detected

I was trying to use AutoRest to generate a client SDK for one of my API’s. This turned out not to be the success I was hoping for.

Yesterday I explained that I got into trouble because an OperationId was missing. But after adding it, it still didn’t work. Instead I got the following error message:

Duplicate operation detected

Here was the API controller I was using:

AutoRest uses the OpenAPI generated through Swashbuckle. When I took  a look at the OpenAPI file, I noticed that indeed the same OperationId was used:

This is because I was using the ActionName as the OperationId. As I have multiple Action methods with the same name they all result in the same OperationIe

To fix it, you can do 2 things:

  • Using the [SwaggerOperation] attribute
  • Using the Name property on the Http attribute ([HttpGet], [HttpPost],…)

Using the [SwaggerOperation] attribute

By adding a [SwaggerOperation] attribute to the controller action method, you can control the generated OperationId:

Using the Name property

An alternative solution is to use the Name property on the HTTP routing attributes:

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’: ...
