Azure Pipelines–Automatic Package Versioning

There are a few options available when configuring your nuget package versioning scheme in your build pipeline.

Let’s explore the differences:

Off

The package version is not changed during the build. Instead the version provided in your csproj file is used.

Use the date and time

When selecting the ‘Use the date and time’ option, it is up to you to provide a Major, Minor and Patch version number. The datetime will be used as the prerelease label:

$(Major).$(Minor).$(Patch).$(date:yyyyMMdd)

Use an environment variable

A third option is to use an environment variable. The environment variable should contain the version number that you want to use and should be in a valid format.

Remark: You should enter the name of the environment variable without $, $env, or %.

Use the build number

A last option is to use the build number. This will use the build number to version the package.

Remark: This will change the build number format to a version compatible definition: '$(BuildDefinitionName)_$(Year:yyyy).$(Month).$(DayOfMonth)$(Rev:.r)'.

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...
