MassTransit–Disable fault publishing

By default when a message consumer in MassTransit throws an exception, the exception is caught by middleware in the transport (the ErrorTransportFilter to be exact), and the message is moved to an _error queue (prefixed by the receive endpoint queue name).

The exception details are stored as headers with the message for analysis and to assist in troubleshooting the exception.

Next to moving the message to an error, MassTransit also produces a Fault<T> event. If the message headers specify a FaultAddress, the fault is sent directly to that address. If the FaultAddress is not present, but a ResponseAddress is specified, the fault is sent to the response address. Otherwise, the fault is published, giving you the option to consume these fault messages if you want to:

However this can lead to a lot of extra exchanges that could be created. 

If you don’t want to publish a Fault event, you can do this by setting the PublishFaults property to false in your MassTransit configuration:

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...
