I have a .NetCore stateless WebAPI service running inside Service Fabric local cluster.
return Endpoint.Start(endpointConfiguration).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
When I'm trying to start NServiceBus endpoint, I'm getting this exception :
Access to the path 'C:\SfDevCluster\Data_App_Node_0\AppType_App10\App.APIPkg.Code.1.0.0.diagnostics' is denied.
How can it be solved ? VS is running under administrator.
The issue you are having is because the folder you are trying to write to is not supposed to be written by your application.
The package folder is used to store you application binaries and can be recreated dynamically whenever an application is hosted in the node.
Also, the binaries are reused by multiple service instances running on same node, so it might compete to use the files by different instances.
You should instead instruct your application to write to the WorkFolder,
public Stateless1(StatelessServiceContext context): base(context)
{
string workdir = context.CodePackageActivationContext.WorkDirectory;
}
The code above will give you a path like this:
'C:\SfDevCluster\Data_App_Node_0\AppType_App10\App.APIPkg.Code.1.0.0.diagnostics\work'
This folder is dynamic, will change depending on the node or instance of your application is running, when created, your application should already have permission to write to it.

I created spring config server with s3 backend as it described here:
https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/reference/html/#_aws_s3_backend
I created 4 files in my-config-server s3 bucket:
app-default.properties
app-dev.properties
client-app-default.properties
client-app-dev.properties
When I ran client-app application with dev profile, I got only client-app-dev.properties properties.
I am interested if it is possible to get also client-app-default.properties, app-dev.properties and app-default.properties properties, if its were not defined in client-app-dev.properties
In another words, Is it possible to support following hierarchic:
application.properties # Applicable for all environments.
application-dev.properties # Environment level commons across all services.
client-app-dev.properties # Overrides specific to the service for one environment.
client-app2-dev.properties
for example:
client-app-dev.properties
my.property1="my-propertyDev1"
client-app-default.properties
my.property1="my-propertyDefault1"
my.property2="my-property2Default"
app-default.properties
my.property3="my-propertyAppDefault3"
when I am running client-app application with dev profile I what to get:
#Value("${my.property1}")
private String property1; //"my-propertyDev1"
#Value("${my.property2}")
private String property2; //"my-property2Default"
#Value("${my.property3}")
private String property3; //"my-propertyAppDefault3"
It works so with regular spring config server but I didn't succeed with s3 backed. It goes directly to specific app and specific profile
I have a worker role cloud service that I have recently developed on my local machine. The service exposes a WCF interface that receives a file as a byte array, recompiles the file, converts it to the appropriate format, then stores it in Azure Storage. I managed to get everything working using the Azure Compute Emulator on my machine and published the service to Azure and... nothing. Running it on my machine again, it works as expected. When I was working on it on my computer, the Azure Compute Emulator's console output was essential in getting the application running.
Is there a similar functionality that can be tapped into on the Cloud Service via RDP? Such as starting/restarting the role at the command prompt or in power shell? If not, what is the best way to debug/log what the worker role is doing (without using Intellitrace)? I have diagnostics enabled in the project, but it doesn't seem to be giving me the same level of detail as the Computer Emulator console. I've rerun the role and corresponding .NET application again on localhost and was unable to find any possible errors in the console.
Edit: The Next Best Thing
Falling back to manual logging, I implemented a class that would feed text files into my Azure Storage account. Here's the code:
public class EventLogger
{
public static void Log(string message)
{
CloudBlobContainer cbc;
cbc = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue("StorageClientAccount"))
.CreateCloudBlobClient()
.GetContainerReference("errors");
cbc.CreateIfNotExist();
cbc.GetBlobReference(string.Format("event-{0}-{1}.txt", RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Id, DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks)).UploadText(message);
}
}
Calling ErrorLogger.Log() will create a new text file and record whatever message you put in there. I found an example in the answer below.
There is no console for worker roles that I'm aware of. If diagnostics isn't giving you any help, then you need to get a little hacky. Try tracing out messages and errors to blob storage yourself. Steve Marx has a good example of this here http://blog.smarx.com/posts/printf-here-in-the-cloud
As he notes in the article, this is not for production, just to help you find your problem.
I'm trying to get my application running in AppHarbor using a RavenDB instance. I've updated my raven libs to build 888 and I'm still getting the error below. I've also allowed file system write access but im still getting the same error. Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
[EsentFileAccessDeniedException: Cannot access file, the file is locked or in use]

It appears that during app startup, my app was creating a data directory in the application root. I discovered that I had an old reference to RavenDB Embedded which was on longer being used in the project which was creating the unneeded data directory. Once I removed that reference and pushed, everything began working correctly.
Are you trying to use the AppHarbor web worker instance file storage for the RavenDB backing store? That's a bad idea, use the hosted RavenHQ add-on instead.
The self-hosted RavenDB not working on AppHarbor is a known problem.
Even if you get it to work, note that the worker filesystems are not persisted when you deploy new versions of your code or in case of worker instance failure.
I'm using the web deploy API to deploy a web package (.zip file, created by MSDeploy.exe) to programmatically roll the package out to a server (we need to do some other things before we release the package which is why we're not doing it all in one go using MSDeploy.exe).
Here's the code I have. My question is really to clarify what is happening when this is executed. In the package parameters XML file I have the application name specified ("Default Web Site") but that's about it, there's no other params are specified in there. From testing the server it appears the package gets deployed successfully but my question is are any other settings on the server I'm deploying to getting changed without my knowledge, are any default settings published etc.? Things like security settings, directory browsing etc. that I might not be aware of? The code here seems to deploy the package but I'm anxious about using this on a production environment when I'm so unsure of how this API works. The MS documentation is not helpful (more like non-existant, actually).
DeploymentChangeSummary changes;
string packageToDeploy = "C:/MyPackageLocation.zip";
string packageParametersFile = "C:/MyPackageLocation.SetParameters.xml";
DeploymentBaseOptions destinationOptions = new DeploymentBaseOptions()
{
UserName = "MyUsername",
Password = "MyPassword",
ComputerName = "localhost"
};
using (DeploymentObject deploymentObject = DeploymentManager.CreateObject(DeploymentWellKnownProvider.Package,
packageToDeploy))
{
deploymentObject.SyncParameters.Load(packageParametersFile);
DeploymentSyncOptions syncOptions = new DeploymentSyncOptions();
syncOptions.WhatIf = false;
//Deploy the package to the server.
changes = deploymentObject.SyncTo(destinationOptions, syncOptions);
}
If anyone could clarify that this snippet should deploy a package to a web site application on a server, without changing any existing server settings (unless specified in the SetParameters.xml file) that would be really helpful. Any good resources on using the API or an explanation of how web deployment works behind the scenes would also be much appreciated!
The setparameters file just controls the value for the parameters defined in the package. A package might be doing much more than that. Web deploy has a concept of providers and any given package can have one or more providers.
If you want to make sure that the package is not changing server side settings the best approach you can take is to use the API but make the packages be deployed via Web Management Service. This will give you two benefits:
You can control what providers you allow through.
You can add users and give restricted permissions to them to deploy to their site or their folder etc.
The alternate approach is to:
In the package manually look at the archive.xml and look for the providers in the package. As long as you dont see any of the following providers that can cause server settings change such as apphostconfig or webserver or regkey (this is not a comprehensive list) you should be good. Runcommand is a provider that allows you to execute batch scripts or commands. While it is a good provider for admins themselves you need to consider whether you want to allow packages with such providers to run.
You can do the above mentioned inspection in code by calling getchildren on the deployment object you create out of the package and inspect the providers and the provider paths.
I´m creating a new WCF service. I initially had only three operations. But after some time I decided to add two more. This operations doesn't appear in the Microsoft test client, neither in the list of operations when I try to add a service reference from my WPF client. Also I tried to comment one of the initial operations. It still apears in the Microsoft test client and can be invoked. I Tried also delete the dlls generated by the service and regenerate again. No luck. There are some kind of "cache" where Visual Studio stores the WCF services libraries that I can delete?
UPDATE: I'm working with the service running in the ASP.NET devolopment server.
You need to understand the order in which things happen.
You change your code, adding methods with [OperationContract] on them, or removing them, or changing their parameters or return values.
You then must build your service, producing a .DLL that contains the changes.
You must then deploy the changed DLL to the server it's going to run on
You must then restart the service (this may happen automatically depending on the server. For instance, IIS will recycle the service when it sees that the DLL changed)
You must then update your client, either the WCF Test Client, or "Add Service Reference", or the equivalent.
This last will have the effect of sending a request to the service for the new metadata or WSDL. Only then can the client see the changes you made to the definition of the service.
I don't know why, but I created a new project and copied the definitions of the operations from the problematic project and the problem is gone. One case more for Microsoft mysteries.
Make sure you are updating the services after adding the new operations.
Also make sure they have the attribute [OperationContract].
One thing we have discovered is that when you deploy the dlls that they must be in the bin, and cannot reside in the debug or release folder.
For me worked: just rebuild the wcf project
Did you close the client connection in client side
as showing your service
class Test
{
static void Main()
{
LocationClient client = new LocationClient();
// Use the 'client' variable to call operations on the service.
// Always close the client.
client.Close();
}
}
SOLUTION HERE :
Make sure your dataContract does NOT contain any enum
(You can use integer instead)
Be sure to reference a project in the solution and not a dll on your disk
Remove your "bin" and "obj" folders
Recompile
In IIS recycle the application pool
In IIS restart your service
In IIS "Browse" your service
=> You got it
