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:

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
