July 13, 2021 by Anuraj
Playwright AzureDevOps
This article will discuss about testing web applications with the help of Playwright.NET. And run the tests in Azure DevOps as part of CI/CD pipeline. Few months back I wrote an article on Testing Web Applications with PlayWright and C#, this was using a non Microsoft package - PlaywrightSharp. Right now Microsoft is offering an official package - Microsoft.Playwright. In this article you will learn about how to write test case using Microsoft.Playwright nuget package and how to deploy the test app and execute it as part of the CI / CD pipeline in Azure DevOps.
Open API support for ASP.NET Core Minimal API

AspNetCore OpenApi Swagger WebApi
This article will discuss about implementing Open API (Swagger) for ASP.NET Core 6.0 minimal API. Today I saw one video from Maria Naggaga about Minimal APIs. She was showing a demo of Web API with swagger support. So thought I will implement the same. But it was not working for me. I was getting a lot of errors - both compile time and runtime. Then I looked into the ASP.NET Core source code and found one extension method which was not available in the runtime I was using. So I upgraded the version and installed the - 6.0.100-preview.6.21357.52 version and it started working. If you’re not using this version the code in this blog post will not work. You can download the latest version of .NET SDK from here - https://github.com/dotnet/installer#installers-and-binaries

AspNetCore Caching SqlServer
This article will discuss about implementing caching in ASP.NET Core using SQL Server Distributed Cache. Caching can improve the performance and scalability of an app, especially when the app is hosted by a cloud service or a server farm. In this implementation, you will be implementing distributed caching using SQL Server. In asp.net core distributed caching can be implemented with the help of IDistributedCache interface - you can start with MemoryCache in the development and in production you can switch to SQL Server or Redis or any other provider which implements IDistributedCache interface.
