Akka.NET TestKit–No tests found to run.

I’m currently working on a project where I’m using Akka.NET and the Actor model. I’m amazed by the ease-of-use and how the actor model itself makes complex problems easy to implement. Anyway, I lost some time today investigating a problem that a colleague had. After installing TestKit and writing his first actor based unit test, the Test Runner explorer refused to work and the only output we got was:

No tests found to run.

After a few minutes I realized our mistake, we downloaded the Akka.TestKit.NUnit which is suitable for NUnit 2 and older. However we are using NUnit3, which requires a different NuGet package; Akka.TestKit.NUnit3.  After installing the correct NuGet package, our tests appeared and the problem was gone.

Kind of stupid to stumble over this problem because I had the same issue before (and even mentioned it explicitly in a previous blog post about Akka.NET; http://bartwullems.blogspot.be/2016/07/testing-your-akkanet-actors-using.html) Confused smile

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
