Perfect. Since you've already wired up the messaging system and are preparing customers for an upcoming outage (even if the date isn’t final), here are several daily rotating messages you can use. These are written to sound professional, calm, and transparent — enough to build trust without panic:

✅ DAY 1 — Awareness Message (Use Today)

Heads up!
We're making some important upgrades behind the scenes that may cause temporary downtime in the coming days. No action needed now — just keeping you in the loop. More updates soon!

✅ DAY 2 — Soft Warning

Coming Soon:
A short service outage may be required as we improve our systems. We're working to minimize the impact and will notify you before any changes take place.

✅ DAY 3 — Early Countdown Starts (5 Days Out)

Service Notice: 5 Days Out
Our platform will undergo scheduled maintenance in the next few days. You may experience brief interruptions. We appreciate your patience as we prepare for a smoother, faster experience.

✅ DAY 4 — 4 Days Out

Service Update: 4 Days Away
We’re finalizing infrastructure changes that may cause a short outage soon. We’ll keep you informed and support you through every step.

✅ DAY 5 — 3 Days Out

Planned Maintenance in 3 Days
In preparation for system upgrades, a brief outage may occur soon. You’ll be notified again 24 hours before it happens.

✅ DAY 6 — 2 Days Out

Just 2 Days Left
We’re getting ready for a scheduled outage to upgrade our system. Expect temporary unavailability. Thank you for being part of this journey.

✅ DAY 7 — 1 Day Out

24-Hour Notice
Our system will go offline temporarily starting tomorrow as we migrate to a new platform. We’ll notify you once we’re back online. Thanks for your patience and support!

✅ During Outage Message

We’re Currently Under Maintenance
Our platform is temporarily offline as we complete essential system upgrades. We’ll notify you the moment we’re back. We appreciate your understanding!

✅ Post-Outage Message

We’re Back Online!
Thank you for your patience during our upgrade. Our system is now live and ready to serve you even better.

Let me know if you want a JSON version of these messages for your API or a quick API toggle script for environment configs.

What you're seeing is likely a combination of Roslyn analyzers + editor config + stylecop settings, and possibly code analysis rules configured to treat warnings as errors in that project.

Here’s how to trace and port that setup:

✅ 1. Look for .editorconfig in the project root

This file governs most style and formatting rules now (replacing ruleset files in many modern .NET projects).

Open it and look for things like:

# Enforce XML documentation
dotnet_diagnostic.CS1591.severity = error

# Enforce braces for if/else
csharp_prefer_braces = true:error

# No extra blank lines
dotnet_diagnostic.SA1507.severity = error

👉 Copy this file into the root of your personal project(s) to carry over the rules.

✅ 2. Check for Roslyn Analyzers in .csproj

In your .csproj, check if there’s a reference to something like:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers" Version="x.x.x" />
<PackageReference Include="StyleCop.Analyzers" Version="x.x.x" />

These are NuGet packages enforcing coding rules. If present, copy them to your personal .csproj.

You might also see:

<AnalysisLevel>latest</AnalysisLevel>
<WarningsAsErrors>CS1591;SAxxxx;IDExxxx</WarningsAsErrors>

This line converts specific warnings into compile-breaking errors. Copy this too.

✅ 3. Check for ruleset files (older projects)

Some older projects still use .ruleset files:

  • Open the .csproj or right-click the project → Properties → Code Analysis
  • Look for a .ruleset file path.

If you see it, copy that file and the reference in the .csproj.

✅ 4. Copy recommended StyleCop settings (if missing)

If you’re missing StyleCop, you can install and configure it like this:

dotnet add package StyleCop.Analyzers

Then add or adjust .editorconfig like:

# StyleCop rules
dotnet_diagnostic.SA0001.severity = error
dotnet_diagnostic.SA1101.severity = error
dotnet_diagnostic.SA1500.severity = error
dotnet_diagnostic.SA1600.severity = error  # XML doc required

✅ 5. Optional: Use Directory.Build.props to share across projects

If you want all your projects to inherit these rules, create a Directory.Build.props file at a higher folder level with shared package references and settings.

✅ Summary: What to Copy

  1. .editorconfig
  2. .ruleset (if applicable)
  3. NuGet packages for StyleCop.Analyzers or Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.*
  4. <WarningsAsErrors> or <AnalysisLevel> in .csproj
  5. Any Directory.Build.props overrides

Let me know if you want me to generate a clean baseline .editorconfig and .csproj with strict rules for your own projects. I can tailor it exactly like the one your customer uses.

You're getting this error in Dev but not Local:

"The instance of entity type 'AssessmentItem' cannot be tracked because another instance with the same key value for {'AssessmentItemId'} is already being tracked."

This is an Entity Framework Core error that occurs when two separate instances of an entity with the same primary key are being tracked in the same DbContext. Let’s break it down:

✅ Why It Happens

EF Core enforces a one tracked instance per primary key rule. If you:

  • Load an entity (e.g., from a query), then
  • Later Attach or Insert another entity with the same primary key, EF will throw this error.

📍 Most Likely Cause in Your Code

You're doing:

var serializedCurrentAssessmentItemEntity = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(assessmentItemEntity);
var newAssessmentItemEntity = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AssessmentItem>(serializedCurrentAssessmentItemEntity);
...
newAssessmentItemEntity.AssessmentItemId = 0; // so it becomes a "new" insert

BUT LATER, this logic is violated here:

var asdf = await unitOfWork.AssessmentItemRepository.FindByAsync(...);

// If asdf is not null, you do:
await unitOfWork.AssessmentItemRepository.UpdateAsync(asdf);

If asdf is already being tracked AND you’re also tracking a new instance with the same AssessmentItemId, this will trigger the error.

And worse: your object graphs (sections, assessmentItems) might carry references to previously tracked entities from deserialization.

✅ Fix (3 Options)

Option 1: Use .AsNoTracking()

Anywhere you're querying for something that you don’t plan to update, make sure to use .AsNoTracking() to avoid the DbContext tracking that entity.

Update your repository to support it:

// In your repository FindByAsync or FindAllByAsync:
var query = dbContext.Set<T>().AsQueryable();
if (asNoTracking)
    query = query.AsNoTracking();

Use it like:

var currentAssessmentEntity = await unitOfWork.AssessmentRepository
    .FindByAsync(x => ..., cancellationToken, asNoTracking: true);

Option 2: Use Detach() before reusing the entity

Before reinserting deserialized copies or updating found ones, you can manually detach tracked entities like:

context.Entry(existingEntity).State = EntityState.Detached;

Or detach the whole context (not usually recommended).

Option 3: Use a clean DbContext scope

Instead of reusing a long-living DbContext that accumulates tracked state, do:

using (var scope = new TransactionScope(...))
{
    using (var newContext = new MyDbContext())
    {
        // work with clean context
    }
}

You can also do it with IServiceScopeFactory if using DI.

🕵️ Why This Works in Local But Not in Dev?

Because your Dev likely uses different EF configuration, possibly:

  • SensitiveDataLogging is off (you should enable it in Dev temporarily)
  • Different lifetime for DbContext (Scoped vs Singleton)
  • Different records already in Dev that aren’t in local, triggering entity tracking conflict when resolving duplicates

✅ Suggested Next Steps

  1. Enable this for clearer logs in Dev:
optionsBuilder.EnableSensitiveDataLogging();

  1. Update all your repo FindBy and FindAllBy to support AsNoTracking.

  2. During cloning, ensure you're only attaching new objects (with Id = 0) or objects that EF is not already tracking.

Want me to give you a diff of which repo queries to apply AsNoTracking() to based on the code above?

Setup...

1. Docker Setup

Download and install Docker Desktop - link

  • if forced to restart, launch Docker Desktop
  • if you get an error about Windows Subsystem for Linux, in Powershell (as Admin) run
    wsl --update

2. SonarQube Setup

docker run -d --name sonarqube -p 9000:9000 -e SONAR_ES_BOOTSTRAP_CHECKS_DISABLE=true sonarqube:latest

!! If you get a port error

docker: Error response from daemon: ports are not available: exposing port TCP 0.0.0.0:9000 -> 127.0.0.1:0: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:9000: bind: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.

then you can either:

  1. Kill the port:
    a. Find out what's running on port 9000:
    netstat -aon | findstr :9000

    then you will see:

The Process ID is the last column (i.e., 13388)

b. Then you can kill it by taskkill /PID 13388 /F

or...

  1. you can use another port (which is what I'm doing)
    docker run -d --name sonarqube -p 9001:9000 -e SONAR_ES_BOOTSTRAP_CHECKS_DISABLE=true sonarqube:latest

! If you get this error:

docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/sonarqube" is already in use by container "656085e89c234748d11cbdd41aaa2ece8ad3aa44f809702660eb4db88f271602". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.

Now run docker rm -f sonarqube to remove it

Then run:
docker run -d --name sonarqube -p 9001:9000 -e SONAR_ES_BOOTSTRAP_CHECKS_DISABLE=true sonarqube:latest

This spins up SonarQube on http://localhost:9000.

3. Get your SonarQube Token

  1. Go to: http://localhost:9000/
  2. Default credentials:
    • Username: admin
    • Password: admin
  3. Click on "Account" icon in upper right
  4. Click "My Account"
  5. Select the "Security" tab at the top
  6. Proceed to "Generate Token" as per your needs. (Set the Token Type to "User" from the Dropdown list)

4. SonarScanner

  1. Download 👉 https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/latest/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner/
  2. Extract & Add to PATH
  • Unzip the contents (e.g., to C:\SonarScanner)
  • Then add the bin folder to your PATH environment variable:
    • Press ⊞ Win → search "Environment Variables"
    • Click “Edit the system environment variables”
    • Click “Environment Variables”
    • Under System Variables → select Path → click Edit
    • Add: C:\SonarScanner\bin (or wherever you extracted)
  1. Test the Install
  • Open a new terminal (so it reloads the PATH) and run:
    sonar-scanner -v
image

5. Install support for .NET

Temporarily disable CPS Nuget feed to avoid the 401 error in the next step

  1. dotnet nuget list source
  2. You should see a response like:
Registered Sources:
  1.  nuget.org [Enabled]
      https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
  2.  CPS [Enabled]
      https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/ComprehensivePharmacyServices/_packaging/ComprehensivePharmacyServices%40Local/nuget/v3/index.json
  3.  Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages [Enabled]
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\
  1. dotnet nuget disable source "CPS"
  2. dotnet tool install --global dotnet-sonarscanner
  3. dotnet nuget enable source "CPS"

verify it works:

dotnet sonarscanner --version

image

6. PAT for NuGet feed access

  1. Go to Projects - Home
image

7. Support for internal NuGet feeds

dotnet nuget update source CPS --source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/ComprehensivePharmacyServices/_packaging/ComprehensivePharmacyServices%40Local/nuget/v3/index.json  --username [email protected] --password PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN__PAT --store-password-in-clear-text

** If needed, this will show all your nuget packages in the solution/project dotnet nuget list source

8. Install coverlet.collector

  1. C:\...PATH_TO_TEST_PROJECT> dotnet add package coverlet.collector --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

  2. C:\...PATH_TO_TEST_PROJECT> dotnet add package coverlet.msbuild --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

  3. C:\...PATH_TO_TEST_PROJECT> dotnet clean

#Running...

Setup Code Coverage analysis

  1. dotnet nuget disable source "CPS"

  2. dotnet tool install --global dotnet-sonarscanner

  3. C:\...PATH_TO_TEST_PROJECT> dotnet tool install --global dotnet-reportgenerator-globaltool

  4. dotnet nuget enable source "CPS"

  5. In VisualStudio rebuild your solution

  6. C:\...PATH_TO_SOLUTION> dotnet test CPS.RxAssess.Business.Tests/CPS.RxAssess.Business.Tests.csproj --no-build /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutput=./TestResults/coverage.opencover.xml /p:CoverletOutputFormat=opencover

image

Running a scan locally...

  1. C:\...PATH_TO_SOLUTION> dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"AccountingAssistant2" /d:sonar.host.url="http://localhost:9000" /d:sonar.token="SONARQUBE_TOKEN" /d:sonar.cs.opencover.reportsPaths="AccountingAssistant.Api.Tests/TestResults/coverage.opencover.xml"

  2. C:\...PATH_TO_SOLUTION> dotnet build CPS.RxAssess.sln

  3. C:\...PATH_TO_SOLUTION> dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.token="SONARQUBE_TOKEN"

See results

  1. Go to http://localhost:9000/dashboard?id=AccountingAssistant2

The first line should be a single line summary with no more than 50 characters.

The second line should be blank.

Start the full summary on the third line. Ignore whitespace changes in the summary. Use bullet points for each line in the summary when describing changes.
