This article explains a kind of weird fix to a pretty annoying issue with a legacy service. And I’m not just calling it legacy because it’s WCF – I’m calling it legacy because it’s old. The particular piece of software was developed about 7 years ago (2014-ish)! It had worked for quite a while – but now it was down. I know, I know – 2014 is not THAT old. There’s surely COBOL that’s been running since the 70s, if not before. But in the…Continue reading How to force an outdated .NET project to use TLS 1.2?
This article explains a quick and dirty fix when you get an error somewhat like “ApiNotFound” when you’re deploying an Azure Logic App from a template. This seems to be a very typical hurdle to run into when you’re trying to deploy a PowerAutomate Flow you’ve exported. I guess despite being built on the same platform, Flow developers took some liberties and the migration is not quite as painless as one would hope… :) Anyway – on to the topic of the day! Problem This…Continue reading How to fix a Logic App deployment that failed with the error “ApiNotFound”?
Okay. So I needed to figure out what locales certain machines support, and what kind of DateTime formats those would produce. Being the crafty coder I am, I set out to copy-paste some readymade code from docs.microsoft.com. As a side note, after Microsoft opened the docs out to community contributions, I have had far less need to browse StackOverflow for my carefully curated code snippets of questionable quality. I’m going to regard that as a minor victory on the path to friendlier developer communities. Preface…Continue reading Experiment: DateTime formats
This article explains one possible fix to “LinkedAuthorizationFailed” when you’re deploying a Logic App from an Azure Automation template. Maybe it’ll apply to other cases, too – but in my case, it helped me fix a broken template I had exported from Power Automate and was bringing into Logic Apps. Problem So, another fun issue to solve! The actual error you run into might be something along these lines: The client has permission to perform action ‘Microsoft.Logic/integrationAccounts/join/action’ on scope ‘/subscriptions/[your subscription id here]/resourcegroups/[your app resource…Continue reading How to fix “LinkedAuthorizationFailed” when deploying an Azure Logic App?
This article describes how to fix and tweak your pre-build directives in Visual Studio – just in case they refuse to work properly. Because yeah, apparently that sometimes just randomly happens. But fear not – there’s a stupid and ugly, but definitely thoughtful workaround available! Also, sorry for the confusing title. I’m taking suggestions for a more descriptive one – but this one was kind of difficult to word clearly. Anyway – on to the topic of the day! Problem So you’re either trying to…Continue reading How to fix a build configuration that’s not available as a build directive in Visual Studio?
Let’s go with a very simple “note-to-self” kind of a blog post today. Plenty of those to go around on this blog, and I am sure that there will be plenty more! This one is another case that should be really obvious, but isn’t, and should just work, but doesn’t. Namely, when you have run a pipeline in Azure DevOps expecting it to publish a package in your internal NuGet feed so that all of your friends can use it. And Azure DevOps is great…Continue reading How to access invisible packages in Azure DevOps artifact feed?
