Identifying Nuget package references which are using relative paths across whole solution
Keeping up with a recent binge upgrading projects, including upgrading all my projects in a solution to 4.8, I have been upgrading nuget packages. Whilst this is a relatively simple task, what irks me is that when you add or upgrade a nuget package in Visual Studio, it will often change the package path to …
Include both Nuget Package References and project reference DLL using “dotnet pack” 📦
Recently I have been trying to generate more Nuget packages for our dotnet core projects, utilizing the dotnet pack command.

In GIT this is fairly trivial, in TFS however… To move changes between 2 branches, you have to ensure: The changes you want …
Debugging ES6 Mocha unit tests using VS Code
The world of Mocha, VS Code and Node is still fairly new to me. Typically in the past all my JS unit tests have been debuggable in-browser using DevTools, but with Mocha this is not the case (As I am not deploying my spec files). I got Mocha to load via a launch config, but …
Attempting to use Mocha & Chai to unit test ES6.
In this post I will cover using Mocha (JS test framework) and Chai (For BDD syntax) to unit test ES6 Javascript in VS Code. I started working on a small side project, for no reason other than to play with ES6+. It’s a(nother) relatively simple toast library written in as much vanilla JS as possible …
