Visual Studio - Git, Testing, and NuGet Packages

 Visual Studio: 

  Git:

      On VS 2022, make sure that Visual Studio Installer has "Code Tools" > "Git for Windows" checked so that it is fully installed.  Even partially installed you can clone down to the box, it correctly shows changes, and even allows committing changes. However, it has problems pushing.  VS says success when pushing but fails to push anything and the changes are remain visible as committed but not pushed and thus cleared out.

      Also make sure you are pointing to correct code branch at the bottom VS task bar.


  Testing - Code Coverage:

    In Test Explorer => click on top level of tests => click "Analyze Code Coverage".

    Click on coverage line to drill down. Keep drilling until know the biggest "Not Covered" and add tests for it and repeat.

  Testing - Exception Testing:

   Say how to mock when call is hit. If NSubstitute then:

   _service.UpdateAllStoreKitchenOnline(Arg.Any<bool>(), Arg.Any<int>(), Arg.Any<string>(), Arg.Any<int>(), Arg.Any<string>()).ThrowsAsync(new Exception());   

   Testing - Unit Testing:

        [TestInitialize]

        public void TestInitialize() { _concreteService = MakeService(); }

  NuGet Packages:

    Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > Package Sources:

      1) Add the company's global artifactory to the package sources for NuGet packages so solutions will compile.

      2) Add the required NuGet packages that are company-specific found in the Nuget repository that you need.

   Make sure that "Package Source" in NE of Nuget Package Manager screen is set to "All" so that you can see the ones from your custom/company-specific artifactory ones.



    Click project and "Remove Unused Packages" on each

      Do this on each project to minimize packages to have minimal trouble upgrading in future. However, never get rid of MsTest.TestAdapter if it appears on the list because it never has a direct reference.  If you remove MsTest.TestAdapterthen you cannot run tests.


    Click solution or project > Manage NuGet Packages:

      1) Make sure all the project have the minimal "Updates" (under the "Updates" tab) to have easier time with Mend or other version checking.

      2) For QT NuGet projects that complain about downgraded NuGet packages that is a "Transitive Package" under "Installed", add that specific package to the project with latest version. Then VS will use the latest version of the package even though the old QT package has old version it wants. (So specific NuGet package in a project has priority over the package's internal NuGets.)

      3) Install NuGet packages in the projects rather than the solution (unless used in all projects) for same reason.

Upgrading to .NET8 from desktop versions 4.8.X

Upgrade to Latest .NET OVERALL     Problems and differences encountered taking applications from .NET 4.8 desktop to .NET 8 . SUGGESTION    Rebuild the solution and project files from scratch with latest .NET 8. PROBLEMS APIs    On later .NET APIs (post 4.8 desktop), you need to be extra carefully about how the inbound objects are declared.  So if integer in Postman, then must be integer in object.  In older .NET, they accept properties as strings.       Example - Say body in Postman is:          {     "SettingData" : 31000 }    Pretend endpoint method is: [HttpPut("cache/resettimer")] [Produces("application/json")] [ProducesResponseType(typeof(ResetCacheResponse), Status200OK)] public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> MyMethod ([FromBody] InputData input)    Later .NET must be: public class InputData { public int SettingData { get; set; } } ...

GHL > Set website so shorter URL address

Image
GHL > Set website so shorter URL address Background:  In GoHighLevel, you can  set a specific page as the default page   for your website or funnel, essentially making it the "index.html" equivalent for your domain. This page will be the first one displayed when someone visits your domain without specifying a specific page path.   Example:      1) GHL > Site > pick your funnel or website > Edit it.       2) Notice where it puts the website:     3) If my  https://aiappointmentbooker.com/  is not working but works when I go to  https://aiappointmentbooker.com/home-page-3213  like above, then you need to fix your index.html by doing these steps. Here's how you can do it: Go to Domains:  In your GoHighLevel account, go to  Settings > Domains . Find and Edit Your Domain:  Find the domain you want to configure and click on the edit icon next to it. Set the Default Page:  Set...
