Visual Studio Tunnel Setup

1 Click the arrow next to the Play button and select Dev Tunnels > Create A Tunnel...
2 Ensure Access is set to Public and Persistent is selected for a static URL.
3 Run your server in Visual Studio (Press F5). Your project must be running for the tunnel to forward tests to your local machine.
4 Copy the URL from the browser (e.g. ukw.devtunnels.ms) and paste it into this dashboard.

Database Reset Utility

Automated tests require a clean database state to run reliably. Add this utility to your server to enable the dashboard's reset feature.

1

Update Database Access: In UserDatabaseAccess.cs, add this method to handle the reset logic:

                            public static void ClearDatabase(UserContext context)

                            {

                              context.Users.RemoveRange(context.Users);

                              context.SaveChanges();

                            }

2

Expose Endpoint: Create a new file Controllers/OtherController.cs (or add to an existing one) to allow the runner to trigger the reset:

                            [HttpGet("Clear")]

                            public string Clear()

                            {

                              UserDatabaseAccess.ClearDatabase(_context);

                              return "true";

                            }
