How To: Configure VSCode to Trust Self-Signed Certs

16th August 2024 / Shane Bartholomeusz / 0 Comments

Problem

Recently whilst trying to enable GitHub CoPilot within VSCode in a corporate enterprise environment, I encountered the following warning when trying to authenticate with GitHub:

[certificates] failed to read root certificates

Often in a corporate enterprise IT environment, IT will install a self-signed root certificate, which all devices must trust before they can access the internet via a central proxy server. This was indeed the case in my situation. However, the above error message indicated that VS Code didn’t recognise or trust this self-signed certificate, preventing it from properly authenticating with GitHub.

Recently, whilst trying to run the following command in a GitHub Actions workflow script to create a new Release in my GitHub Repository:

Solved: ‘Unable to find package specflow.plus.license’ error

14th February 2024 / Shane Bartholomeusz / 0 Comments

Problem

Whilst recently installing Specflow on a new Windows PC, I ran into an unexpected error after running the below command:

dotnet tool install --global SpecFlow.Plus.License --version 3.9.7

This is the error I encountered whilst running the above command:

C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\cd1e38b3-c92a-436d-b439-f1535d848adc\restore.csproj : error NU1101: Unable to find package specflow.plus.license. No packages exist with this id in source(s): C:\Program Files\dotnet\library-packs, Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages The tool package could not be restored.
Tool ‘specflow.plus.license’ failed to install. This failure may have been caused by:
You are attempting to install a preview release and did not use the –version option to specify the version.
A package by this name was found, but it was not a .NET tool.
The required NuGet feed cannot be accessed, perhaps because of an Internet connection problem.
You mistyped the name of the tool.

Solved: Dotnet EF CLI ‘Could not execute’ Error

26th March 2023 / Shane Bartholomeusz / 0 Comments

Problem

The ‘dotnet ef’ CLI command enables developers to work with Entity Framework Core (EF Core) database operations from the standard dotnet command line.

Recently I came across the below error whilst trying to run the ‘dotnet ef’ CLI commands:

$ dotnet ef
Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include:
  * You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
  * You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-ef does not exist.
  * You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

If you have also encountered this error whilst using the Entity Framework commands via the dotnet CLI, then you’re in luck because I’ll be sharing the fix in this article.
