assembly:InternalsVisibleTo: .net – C# “internal” access modifier when doing unit testing – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/16

It seems I always forget about the InternalsVisibleTo attribute which allows you to specify which external assembly can see your internal types and type members:

Internal classes need to be tested and there is an assembly attribute:

using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
[assembly:InternalsVisibleTo("MyTests")]

Add this to the project info file, e.g. Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs.

Thanks Eric Schaefer for that answer.

Bug squasing: A heisenbug is not your average bug.

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/15

I took the liberty to make an English translation of this very interesting German story about squasing an Heisenbug from Kristian Köhntopp: Heisenbugsquashing bei +SysEleven: Sechs Monate Kernels crashen, aber jetzt isser tot….

Don’t forget to read (translated) comments in the original thread. Very interesting read!

I agree it’s in the Heisenbug category given “Time can also be a factor in heisenbugs, particularly with multi-threaded applications.”.

Anyway, the translation and original:

Fritz!Box 7360 and 7490: static routes over VPN don’t work

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/15

I’ve tried the below on a Fritz!Box 7490 configuration and it fails as well.

The case is that I’ve a VPN (see Getting Fritz!Box LAN-LAN VPN to work) between a Fritz!Box 7360 (having internal IP 192.168.24.1) and a Fritz!Box 7490 (having internal IP 192.168.71.1). This is how it looks from the Fritz!Box 7360 side:

Name Address in the Internet local network remote network
80.100.143.119 80.100.143.119 192.168.24.0/24 192.168.171.0/24

On the 192.168.171.0/24 side of things, the internal IP of the 80.100.143.119 router is 192.168.171.1. Inside the 192.168.171.0/24 network is is another router (192.168.171.22) having an internal 192.168.71.0/24 network.

Basically I want to tell the Fritz!Box 7360 (at IP 192.168.24.1) that there is an internal route to 192.168.71.0/24 via 192.168.171.22.

I found and read Accessing multiple IP networks behind a FRITZ!Box over VPN connection between two FRITZ!Boxes | FRITZ!Box 7360 | AVM International.

Based on it, I wanted to add this route on the 192.168.24.1:

Static IPv4 Route

IPv4 network 192.168.71.0
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.171.22
Enabled X

When you do that, you get this error message:

An error occurred.
Error description: The route is illegal.
Please enter your data again. If the error occurs again, please consult AVM Support.

How can I get this route to work?

git-extras/Commands.md at master · tj/git-extras

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/15

[WayBack] git-extras is awesome: it adds many [WayBack] useful commands to git. Like [WayBack] git ignore and [WayBack] git-info.

For instance, this adds README.md~ to the .gitignore file:

git ignore README.md~

It makes command-line git much more usable, even so much that it lessens the needs of SourceTree and other UIs tools.

You can get it at the GitHub repository [WayBack] tj/git-extras.

Lots of help is at [WayBack] git-extras/Commands.md: it explains all the commands that git-extras adds.

Thanks [WayBack] nifr for posting about git-extras at [WayBack] Is there an ignore command for git like there is for svn? – Stack Overflow.

Delphi: disable or change your welcome page to not use the Embarcadero site (as that site has been hacked twice this weekend)

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/14

Initial hack

Initial hack – image via the forums server.

This weekend, the Embarcadero web site was hacked by AnonCoders. Not once (see also [WayBack] G+ link and [WayBack] DelphiPraxis link and [WayBack] image) but at least twice (see also [WayBack] G+ link and [WayBack] image and [WayBack] Delphi Praxis link and [WayBack] image) where the initial hacked simple text “Hacked By AnonCoders ~ Cyber Caliphate” after having been reverted back to the site – hopefully by Embarcadero staff – was replaced with [WayBack] more graphical content later on.

Hack presenting itself in the IDE

Hack presenting itself in the IDE – image via the forums server.

The Welcome Page inside the Delphi IDE uses the Embarcadero web site, so the Delphi IDE Welcome Page was also affected (see also [WayBack] this G+ link).

Because the IDE uses this on-line content, potentially any code could be executed inside the IDE (apart from that page being loaded over http, so any man-in-the-middle could abuse this, but I digress). This imposes a security risk as many developers run the IDE from accounts having more rights than the average user.

Upgrading from OpenSuSE 13.1 to 13.2

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/14

As etckeeper wasn’t available in the “normal” OpeenSuSE 13.1 package, I used the steps below to upgrade to 13.2 after reading SDB:System upgrade – openSUSE and How To Upgrade To openSUSE 13.2 From openSUSE 13.1 | Unixmen.

Note I installed inside tmux (to prevent any ssh disconnects from screwing the upgrade process):

TeamViewer Portable on Windows without UAC breaking it

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/14

TeamViewer Portable (and its cousin TeamViewer QuickSupport) is a great tool for the occasional helping out of friends, but both Portable and QS don’t play well with UAC:

Your partner’s desktop is no longer accessible.

Probably you used a program that requires additional permissions.
Please wait until your partner has granted these permissions.

Many suggest to install the full TeamViewer client, but that is a bit against the point of occasional helping.

A practical solution is much easier: start either Portable or QS with using Run As Administrator once, and it works perfectly fine.

Motorola-powered Mac from 1989 used to design fonts and write smartphone apps • The Register

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/11

Mac SE/30’s nine-inch screen is ideal for font-wrangling, says dev, 16Mhz 68030 not so much

Wow, back in the days I used Fontographer too, at a client that also used Ikarus, but on even older Mac hardware. But that was early 1990s (:
