.Net 5.0 – This package is required for the Entity Framework Core Tools to work

Leave a reply

I was trying to create a migration in a new project within a solution and received the following error:

Build started…
Build succeeded.
Your startup project ‘SubscriptionManagementGrpcService’ doesn’t reference Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design. This package is required for the Entity Framework Core Tools to work. Ensure your startup project is correct, install the package, and try again.

The error was a bit confusing because all of my migrations for the rest of the solution were still working and none of my other startup projects had Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design as a reference.

After a bit of comparing I realised that the other projects all referenced data projects that in turn referenced Microsoft.EntityFramework.Design. Adding the package reference to the subscription data library referenced by my GrpcService fixed the issue.

ElasticSearch on AWS – Anonymous is not authorized to perform es:ESHttpGet

Leave a reply

Hi everyone,

I am trying out ElasticSearch on AWS and ran into the following error while trying to access the provided Kabana endpoint:

{"Message":"User: anonymous is not authorized to perform: es:ESHttpGet"}

This turned out to be pretty simply, I just needed to whitelist my IP. Go to your search domain in the aws console, click access and finally select “Modify access policy”:

Then all you need to do is add another statement that gives your current ip access:

{ 
"Version": "2012-10-17", 
"Statement": [
{
 "Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
 "AWS": "*"
},
"Action": [
"es:ESHttp*"
],
"Condition": {
"IpAddress": {
"aws:SourceIp": [
"192.0.2.0/24"
]
}
},
"Resource": "arn:aws:es:us-west-1:987654321098:domain/test-domain/*"
}
]
}

Feel free to comment below if you hit any issues, but I also found the following links pretty helpful:

Docker Volumes Mounting File as Folder on Windows

Leave a reply

Hey everyone,

I ran into a small issue today using docker-compose. I had a config file I was trying to mount as a volume however running “docker-compose up” generated a folder instead.

ERROR: for grafana Cannot start service grafana: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused “process_linux.go:449: container init caused \”rootfs_linux.go:58: mounting \\\”/host_mnt/e/repos/Sample-Twitch/grafana/datasources.yml\\\” to rootfs \\\”/var/lib/docker/overlay2/f5c9553407551b68dc5d5877d748ba2bf7d2f0dd2ad12c73e39be40af185c82d/merged\\\” at \\\”/var/lib/docker/overlay2/f5c9553407551b68dc5d5877d748ba2bf7d2f0dd2ad12c73e39be40af185c82d/merged/etc/grafana/provisioning/datasources/prometheus.yaml\\\” caused \\\”not a directory\\\”\””: unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

The issue turned out to be an oversight on my part, I’d misspelled the config filename and docker was unable to find it. Consequently, it generated the missing file as a directory.

It took a bit of Googling to narrow this down, but eventually this stackoverflow post pointed me in the right direction: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44950494/522859

MassTransit with Mediator – ‘IServiceCollectionBusConfigurator’ does not contain a definition for ‘AddMediator’ and the best extension method overload ‘DependencyInjectionRegistrationExtensions.AddMediator(IServiceCollection, Action)’ requires a receiver of type ‘IServiceCollection’

Leave a reply

Hi everyone,

I’m currently learning MassTransit by following a great video series by Chris Patterson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxHNAn69x6w&list=PLx8uyNNs1ri2MBx6BjPum5j9_MMdIfM9C&index=1. Unfortunately, when trying to add mediator as instructed in the first video I hit the following error:

‘IServiceCollectionBusConfigurator’ does not contain a definition for ‘AddMediator’ and the best extension method overload ‘DependencyInjectionRegistrationExtensions.AddMediator(IServiceCollection, Action)’ requires a receiver of type ‘IServiceCollection’

After a bit of Googling I came across some upgrade documentation with the following highlight:

Container configuration has changed, and now uses the AddMediator method (instead of AddMassTransit).

The solution ended up being as follows:

services.AddMediator(x =>
{
x.AddConsumersFromNamespaceContaining();
x.AddRequestClient();
});

Thanks to this link for the info: https://masstransit-project.com/getting-started/upgrade-v6.html#version-7

Overwrite Selected Tree View Item Styles – Material UI ReactJS

Leave a reply

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post on how to overwrite the styles of a selected tree item using material ui and ReactJS:

treeItem: {
paddingTop: theme.spacing(1),
‘&[aria-selected=”true”][aria-expanded=”true”] > div:nth-of-type(1)’: {
backgroundColor: ‘red’,
}
},

This will make the background color red for ONLY the selected item:
material-ui-tree-view

Cheers,

Failed to load the development https certificate using docker and ocelot

Leave a reply

Hey everyone,

I randomly started encountering the following error while using docker to host my Ocelot gateway:

Failed to load the development https certificate at ‘/root/.aspnet/https/ContentGateway.pfx’.

The solution ended up being to clean out as many temp files as possible, especially the generated certs:

  • Delete the following files: Delete the C:\Users{USER}\AppData\Roaming\ASP.NET\Https folder
  • Clean the solution. Delete the bin and obj folders (I just did this for the gateway project)
  • Restart visual studio/visual code

I’ll add an update if I can narrow down what caused the initial issue but for now this seems to work.

DX20807: Unable to retrieve document from: ‘[PII is hidden. For more details, see https://aka.ms/IdentityModel/PII.] site:stackoverflow.com

Leave a reply

Hi everyone,

I ran into the following error today while implementing Azure AD B2C:

DX20807: Unable to retrieve document from: ‘[PII is hidden. For more details, see https://aka.ms/IdentityModel/PII.%5D site:stackoverflow.com

There are a lot of different solutions to this error posted on Stackoverflow, Github, etc but without anything else to go on it’s pretty hard to narrow down the cause. This is where the ShowPII property comes in handy:

….
var resultJson = configuration.GetSection(“AzureAdB2cConfiguration”).Value;
var azureConfig = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(resultJson);

Microsoft.IdentityModel.Logging.IdentityModelEventSource.ShowPII = true; // TODO: This should be removed in production and the authority url changed to https

jwtOptions.RequireHttpsMetadata = false; // TODO: This should be removed in production and the authority url changed to https
jwtOptions.Authority = azureConfig.Authority;
jwtOptions.Audience = azureConfig.AppClientId;
jwtOptions.Events = new JwtBearerEvents {
OnAuthenticationFailed = AuthenticationFailed,
};

…
static Task AuthenticationFailed(AuthenticationFailedContext arg)
{
// For debugging purposes only!
var s = $”AuthenticationFailed: {arg.Exception.Message}”;
arg.Response.ContentLength = s.Length;

System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
return arg.Response.Body.WriteAsync(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(s), 0, s.Length);
}

Simply set Microsoft.IdentityModel.Logging.IdentityModelEventSource.ShowPII to true while configuration your authentication and the full internal error will be shown instead of the vague PII message.

In my case this turned out to be an issue with the construction of my authority url.

Cheers,
Chris
