Strawberry Shake–Access to the path ‘obj\\berry’ is denied

When trying to build a C# project in Visual Studio 2022 v17.5, I got compiler errors. This was strange because the only thing that has changed was the Visual Studio version.  Here is the exact error I got:

In this project I was using the Strawberry Shake GraphQL client. This client uses a custom GraphQL compiler build action and it was exactly this step that failed.

The quick fix

Let me first explain a quick fix. This problem is indeed related to the Visual Studio version which seems to became more strict on what is allowed and what not.  To get rid of the error, restart your Visual Studio instance and run it under Administrator privileges.

Updating to Strawberry Shake 13

Unfortunately before I arrived at the quick fix above I took the long path and started an update to Strawberry Shake v13. This turned to be more work than I had expected.

Let me walk you through the steps:

  • Remove the package references to StrawberryShake.CodeGeneration.CSharp.Analyzers and StrawberryShake.Transport.Http and replace it with the StrawberryShake.Server package:

dotnet add package StrawberryShake.Server

  • Update the StrawberryShake CLI tools:

dotnet tool install StrawberryShake.Tools –local

Tool 'strawberryshake.tools' was successfully updated from version '12.0.1' to version '13.0.5' (manifest file C:\projects\Example\.config\dotnet-tools.json).

  • Remove the custom build action for your GraphQL files. This is now done through C# source generators:

  • Now something where I lost a lot of time on, the latest version only works for .NET 6 or higher. Unfortunately you don't get any error message but the code is not generated. So check that your project is using at least .NET Core 6:

That's it!

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…
