This is my cheat sheet for debugging the mocha.js project from VSCode while adding fixes to it. This is not about how to debug ANY project that is using mocha for testing. The mocha.js repository has a build system that builds into /bin/mocha. I don't use a package.json script. I just use a launch.json mocha test configuration: { // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes. // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes. // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387 "version" : "0.2.0" , "configurations" : [ { "type" : "node" , "request" : "launch" , "name" : "Mocha Tests" , "program" : "${workspaceFolder}/bin/_mocha" , "args" : [ "--colors" , "${workspaceFolder}/test/reporters/dina.spec.js" ], "internalConsoleOptions" : "openOnSessionSta...

I recently needed a clean Windows 10 desktop for testing purposes. I couldn't use Docker, Vagrant, VirtualBox or any of the other local-to-my-computer VM solutions. I tried the Amazon Workspaces solution but it had the typical UX of 30 questions I don't know the answer to. I just wanted a desktop that could download from the Internet. Paperspace.com to the rescue! Within 5 minutes I had a Windows 10 desktop in a browser and the hardest questions where how much CPU and ram I wanted. The cost was incredibly inexpensive too. The test only took 10 minutes and I destroyed the cloud machine after that. This was the easiest, fastest, and cheapest solution to the problem.

Are you seeing this error from your ADO.NET Code Trying to Connect To Your SQL Server via Active Directory Authentication: Exception=System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Failed to authenticate the user NT Authority\Anonymous Logon in Active Directory (Authentication=ActiveDirectoryIntegrated). Error code 0x800703FA; state 10 Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion.  The issue might be that you are running a windows service or a scheduled task with a user that has logged off. In Windows Server the registry hive for the current user is loaded when the user logs into the machine, and unloaded when they log off. This means that if you service account is running under a user that is logged off then the registry hive will not be available. ADO.NET AAD in .NET 4.6.1 uses the registry hive of the running user -- which could be the user of a service. To solve this problem you need to tell Windows Server not to unload the regi...

NodeJs & .Net Core NodeJs and the Asp.net ecosystems have used very different paradigms until recently. This article will show you where they are similar – the 10,000 feet view – when using the Asp.net Core 2.0 environment. With NodeJs, as the developer you might have chosen to build a web server or a cli tool.  Your favorite interactive development environment (IDE) might just be a terminal window or Google Chrome DevTools. With Asp.net (not .Net Core), Microsoft provided the web server ( IIS ) and the IDE ( Visual Studio ). You can develop many different applications including web sites and cli tools. With .Net Core 2.0 , the focus is on portable code, and the result feels much closer to NodeJs. For this article, I'm going to ignore all issues that would make the comparison apples to oranges and instead focus on issues that make the comparison apples to apples. Moving forward, any reference to Asp.net Core 2.0 will be just . Net Core . NodeJs 6.9.1 will be just No...
