Azure DevOps Wiki - Publish a new wiki version

I think that documentation is really important. If it is not for my future self, it will be for the poor girl/guy who has to take over my code. Therefore I spend a lot of time in the Azure DevOps wiki to document my application.

Today I started to work on a version 2.x of my application. As this new version contains a lot of breaking changes, I immediatelly updated my documentation to reflect these changes. However this 2.x version is still in preview and I want my existing users to still give access to the ‘old’ documentation.

So how can I have multiple versions of my documentation available in Azure DevOps?

Publish a new wiki branch

The answer to this question is by publishing a new wiki branch. My wiki pages live in the same repository as my source code in a separate docs folder:

When I started working on my 2.x version, I created a branch for my previous release:

To publish this new branch to the wiki, open the Wiki page, open the branch picker, and then choose Publish new branch:

Choose the branch we have just created and click Publish:

Now we can choose between the 2 documentation versions:

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...
