Blazor, Cosmos DB and OData
Decided to use some spare time to revisit Blazor. Particularly Blazor and OData working together. Taking my inspiration from Hassan Habib and his Enabling Pagination in OData post. I wanted to build upon that and modernise the approach slightly by implementing client side Blazor and bringing some of the goodies from NET5 by using a code behind approach for example.
Moq OData Delta Objects To Test Patch Methods
Issue
Following on from my afternoon with Moq I stumbled upon another fun issue. How the hell could I test my API’s PATCH methods? They all make use of OData’s Delta objects.
Upgrade to dotnet 3.1 from 2.2 causes foreign key conflicts
EF Core 3+ Breaking Changes 🙂
Just following on from my web api/swagger/data .net core 2.2 to 3.1 upgrade and here. I hit another blocker just as everything was going so smoothly!. Basic functional testing on the API was going well until I noticed some POST operations failing with “ERROR The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint <FK>.

OData .Net Core 3.1 with Swagger
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Routing.ApiVersionMatcherPolicy
I recently upgraded .net core 2.2 web api with Odata and Swagger to 3.1 following Microsoft’s recent endpoint routing support with OData 7.40.

On closer inspection the endpoints failing were all child resources. For example ../api/company/1 works fine ../api/company/1/staff and ../api/company/1/staff/1 were failing with
Upgrading .Net Core 2.2 Web API with SWAGGER and ODATA to .Net COre 3.1
Decided to take the plunge and update a fairly sizeable WebAPI with OData and Swagger to .Net Core 3.1. Why the hell would you do this you may ask? Well to take advantage of 3.1’s endpoint routing and OData’s recent support for this with OData 7.40. Inspired by Hassan Habib’s blog entry on Microsoft Dev blogs and decided to go for it.
