HotChocolate 13 - Unable to infer or resolve a schema type from the type reference `@CostDirective`

Yesterday I talked about measuring and monitoring the operational complexity of your GraphQL operations. I talked specifically about the custom HotChocolate cost directive as a way to assign a complexity to a field.

However after upgrading an ASP.NET Core GraphQL api to HotChocolate 13, the GraphQL schema could no longer be loaded. Instead I got the following error message back:

HotChocolate.SchemaException: For more details look at the `Errors` property.
Unable to infer or resolve a schema type from the type reference `@CostDirective`. (IRD3.API.GraphQL.LandbouwerType) at HotChocolate.Configuration.TypeInitializer.DiscoverTypes()

at HotChocolate.AspNetCore.HttpPostMiddlewareBase.InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)

Based on the documentation, everything should work and the code that was working for HotChocolate 12 should also work for 13.

It cost me a lot of time to figure out a solution, but in the end (as always) it was quite simple. I updated the bootstrapping code to explicitly register the cost directive:

Remark: I encountered the problem in HotChocolate 13.9.6. Maybe the issue is already fixed in a newer version when you read this post.(Fingers crossed)

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...
