Azure Pipelines–Multi stage run

I'm currently migrating an existing CI/CD pipeline build in Azure DevOps from the ‘classic’ build approach to YAML templates.

For the project I’m migrating the code moves through multiple stages, where 2 stages should run in parallel. This is how it should like:

My first attempt looked like this:

 

And when I executed this pipeline, Azure DevOps translated this to the following diagram:

This was not exactly what I wanted. As you can see the ‘Productie’ stage will be executed only when the ‘Acceptatie_Extern’ stage has completed succesfully. It doesn’t matter if the ‘Acceptatie’ stage completed or not.

The good news is that this is easy to fix. We have to update the ‘Productie’ stage to depend on both the successful completion of the ‘Acceptatie’ and ‘Acceptatie_Extern’ stage. Let’s update our yaml file:

And if we now execute our pipeline again, we see that both stages are linked to ‘Productie’:

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.

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...
