This is good advice, thanks. I will definitely get it written down and approved eventually, but the issue is with

It looks very open in your case. Is there no standard or precedent for what you are doing? Something you could lean on?

We’re treading new water and doing stuff that nobody in the company is experienced with. We’re getting some ideas thrown at us but that’s the reason for this topic, I don’t feel knowledgeable yet to decide if they are in the right or if they are selling us hammers they like while we actually need something else.

On the other hand, if I just do the simplest dumbest thing for an MVP, I am again just being a hammer and seeing everything as a nail when I should be learning, adapting and applying the correct tool? I kinda want to use the opportunity and do it better or learn something new.

Were your project managers always so technically capable? In my experience they represent the business and while they have to ultimately sign off for the development to start, they don’t come up with architecture and design of the solution itself - that should come from the developers/engineering team. At the very least the devs propose possible options and their costs/tradeoffs and then the management picks one, but it’s not like they will come down and tell you whether you should use SQL, Postgres, Mongo or w/e database.

(Customer) specifications rarely have technical implementations described down to the most basic detail though. It also won’t account for every possible technical problem that could arise, customers generally don’t know or care about those.

Maybe if you’re a junior in a very professional and experienced company, you can expect the perfect documented jira ticket that could be at that point solved by putting it into chat gpt, but in most cases you will be expected to solve and anticipate the unknowns, especially if you’re in a more senior position.

You are probably right and I just misunderstood fixtures / collections and how they work. I am now trying to configure it using postgres testcontainers and just letting each test create its own but facing a bunch of other issues so not even sure how this works anymore, seems like every tutorial has a different approach. Some just put all the code for creating containers in the setup/dispose of the test class itself instead of trying to be smart with the WebApplicationFactory fixtures and maybe I just end up doing that

My first intent was to just have one local sqlite test db that would get reset to empty state before the tests run (EnsureDeleted+EnsureCreated), and then they all run concurrently on it. It sounded simple to setup and simple enough for my small crud app that only had a few tests.

My second intent was for the framework to create a new in-memory sqlite db for each test so I could fix the problem with tests failing when I’d run all of them at the same time, presumably because they all referenced the same db.

I am currently trying to complicate my life further in the hopes it helps with this by using a postgres database instead, and then in the IntegrationTests project I’m using TestContainers to get a PostgreSqlContainer. I am currently suffering because of some change I made so my tests aren’t even being found anymore now, despite being listed in the test explorer when I run them I get “Test discovery finished: 0 Tests found” in output. Honestly I think I’m just gonna give up integration testing like this, it’s been a complete waste of time so far.

Dunno what else I could say about my project that is relevant, it’s a standard webapp crud with 2 controllers and the integration tests projects has facts like this. Very basic stuff I’d say. Unit tests are a separate project and will just be for simple method checks, no mocking (or at least as little as possible)

Configuring a DbContextFactory in the WebAppFactory instead of a DbContext breaks my services, they can’t resolve DbContext anymore so all requests from my test classes fail. Either I misunderstood you or how this works, but it makes sense - I need to properly fix the injectable DbContext so it fixes it everywhere and not just add a DbContextFactory for test classes while the actual code still injects a DbContext.

Configuring the DbConnection service scope as Transient didn’t change anything.

I might consider efficiency and speed later but for now I’d be happy to just get it working on this simple CRUD app with 2 test classes, I’ve spend hours trying various google solutions and I’m a bit frustrated there is no simple guide for something that should be so seemingly simple at this point.

Ohh I mixed it up with FluentValidations, you are right. I never liked unit tests depending on libraries like that either tbf, vanilla xunit aint that bad either

This whole thing is just a nice reminder to not go overboard and use a 3rd party library when it’s completely unnecessary. I never had a need to use sth like fluent validations when you can do pretty much the same thing by writing the validation method directly in your Dto, it’s a bit verbose but at least it also lets you have more control over the whole thing. Maybe I just never used it on a scale enough to justify the library but it seems completely superfluous, dunno

So, we all agree this is obvious rage-bait and just trolling? Nobody is actually believing this is true or that anyone feels like that, or even if they do that they need to be acknowledged and validated by addressing such a ridiculous claim?

Right…? Don’t feed the trolls is the OG internet rule, I wish it weren’t forgotten…

I only used obsidian for a few weeks so i didnt get that used to it, but what you mean could be the mental switch from hierarchical file structure in obsidian to logseq’s journaling/time based one? You’re supposed to organize data with tags rather than remembering their location and structure in folders. I spend most time searching for tags, not specific files, and in that way it’s functional enough for me, although I do not really understand the query syntax yet so I am unable to create more complex searches in this way. Tbh I’m hoping the sqllite switch lets me just write direct SQL

For a specific example, instead of having folders like Software > Programming > csharp > my projects > projectx … I will just have a page for the project that has tags #programming #csharp #myprojects etc. And then I can search for #myproject and see all relevant info for it, even sorted by the date when i added it which adds some nice historical context

I switched to Logseq from Obsidian since I preferred FOSS and it’s been a good experience so far. They are working on a big update to switch to an sqlite db for storage which should help with performance (and I hope improve the search experience) so that’s exciting too.

It’s no reddit in terms of quantity but honesty I’ve had higher quality topics and discussions here than there. Lemmy/kbin might not have taken off in the mainstream to offer a variety of subjects but when it comes to tech and software I think it’s covered well enough and people are generally nicer about it. The main problem is lack of (remotely) good seach function, I dont think the threads are getting indexed by google and the on-site search is atrocious.

I don’t know of any discord programming communities, I wish forums were still a thing but the only live one I know of is the jellyfin one after they moved from reddit. Other than that it’s here or the various subreddits

I’m hooked all over again, can’t wait to get to new content

Thanks for the suggestion! I’m struggling a bit to incorporate that command into podman compose though, I’m reading through this issue and I’m a bit lost.

Do I just add this to sonarr section in my yaml? I tried it and it doesn’t seem to have done much

x-podman:
    keep-id:uid=1000

Should I try and switch everything to podman kube play as some user there recommended maybe?

i’m using wayland, seems to have been the default

From what I read on their homepage, RPM Fusion just provides non-free software that Fedora/RH don’t usually want to ship themselves, it’s just precompiled RPMs for all available Fedora versions. Sounds to me like it should be the same, my currently installed nvidia driver version is 555.58.02 but I have no idea if that correlates to the version of ‘nvidia software’ app. Ugh every issue is just a pandora box of 10 other problems jumping out and strangling you

edit: Seems to have something to do with wayland/xorg? https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/zxvrxk/nvidia_x_server_settings/ I have no idea what are the implications of this though

First of all, thanks for the suggestion! I am a bit confused though because my NVIDIA settings doesn’t have nearly as many options as that one:

Do I have something incorrectly installed? I followed the instructions from the linked resource to install the rpm fusion nvidia drivers since they aren’t available on fedora 40 on the store even with the 3rd party repositories enabled

Doesn’t that imply you still have to open up your phone to temporarily share to your pc whenever you need it?

Is this something like the overseerr but for phones?

One more reason why Git-Fork is the GOAT - it does have separate subject and description fields. Don’t lump all GUI tools in together and generalize
