Strawberry Shake GraphQL Client–Update client after changing schema

I blogged about the Strawberry Shake Graphql Client before and today it is my go to tool in .NET when consuming GraphQL API’s. But I always forget the steps to take when the consumed GraphQL schema has changed. So this is a reminder for myself.

Add the CLI tools

It can be that the CLI tools are not yet installed. In that case we should run dotnet tool restore first. This will read out the tool manifest and install any missing tools:

>dotnet tool restore

Tool 'strawberryshake.tools' (version '12.0.1') was restored. Available commands: dotnet-graphql

Restore was successful.

Now we can invoke the graphql update command. This will read out the .graphqlrc.json configuration file and updates the local schema.graphqlfile.

>dotnet graphql update

Download schema started.

Download schema completed in 1328 ms

If we now build our application, the Strawberry Shake Client code generation will be triggered and new / updated C# code will be generated.

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...
