Depencency Walker

Dependency Walker is a free utility that scans any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module (exe, dll, ocx, sys, etc.) and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of all dependent modules. For each module found, it lists all the functions that are exported by that module, and which of those functions are actually being called by other modules. Another view displays the minimum set of required files, along with detailed information about each file including a full path to the file, base address, version numbers, machine type, debug information, and more.

Dependency Walker is also very useful for troubleshooting system errors related to loading and executing modules. Dependency Walker detects many common application problems such as missing modules, invalid modules, import/export mismatches, circular dependency errors, mismatched machine types of modules, and module initialization failures.
Dependency Walker runs on Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7, and 8. It can process any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module, including ones designed for Windows CE. It can be run as graphical application or as a console application. Dependency Walker handles all types of module dependencies, including implicit, explicit (dynamic / runtime), forwarded, delay-loaded, and injected. A detailed help is included.

Build Script Interaction with TeamCity - Reporting Tests

2016-03-18T15:45:00.002-04:00

Reporting Tests to TeamCity

To use the TeamCity on-the-fly test reporting, a testing framework needs dedicated support for this feature to work (alternatively, XML Report Processing can be used).
If TeamCity doesn't support your testing framework natively, it is possible to modify your build script to report test runs to the TeamCity server using service messages. This makes it possible to display test results in real-time, make test information available on the Tests tab of the Build Results page.

Supported test service messages

Test suite messages:
Test suites are used to group tests. TeamCity displays tests grouped by suites on Tests tab of the Build Results page and in other places.

##teamcity[testSuiteStarted name='suiteName']

<individual test messages go here>

##teamcity[testSuiteFinished name='suiteName']

All the individual test messages are to appear between testSuiteStarted and testSuiteFinished (in that order) with the same name attributes.
Suites may also be nested.

Test start/stop messages:

##teamcity[testStarted name='testName' captureStandardOutput='<true/false>']

<here go all the test service messages with the same name>

##teamcity[testFinished name='testName' duration='<test_duration_in_milliseconds>']

Indicates that the test "testName" was run. If the testFailed message is not present, the test is regarded successful.

duration (optional numeric attribute) - sets the test duration in milliseconds (should be an integer) to be reported in TeamCity UI. If omitted, the test duration will be calculated from the messages timestamps. If the timestamps are missing, from the actual time the messages were received on the server.
captureStandardOutput (optional boolean attribute) - if true, all the standard output (and standard error) messages received between testStarted and testFinished messages will be considered test output. The default value is false and assumes usage of testStdOut and testStdErr service messages to report the test output.

Icon

All the other test messages (except for testIgnored) with the same name attribute should appear between the testStarted and testFinished messages (in that order).
Currently, the test-related service messages cannot be output with Ant's echo task until flowId attribute is specified.

It is highly recommended to ensure that the pair of test suite + test name is unique within the build.
For advanced TeamCity test-related features to work, test names should not deviate from one build to another (a single test must be reported under the same name in every build). Include absolute paths in the reported test names is strongly discouraged.

Ignored tests:

##teamcity[testIgnored name='testName' message='ignore comment']

Indicates that the test "testName" is present but was not run (was ignored) by the testing framework.
As an exception, the testIgnored message can be reported without the matching testStarted and testFinished messages.

Test output:

##teamcity[testStarted name='className.testName']

##teamcity[testStdOut name='className.testName' out='text']

##teamcity[testStdErr name='className.testName' out='error text']

##teamcity[testFinished name='className.testName' duration='50']

The testStdOut and testStdOrr service messages report the test's standard and error output to be displayed in the TeamCity UI. There must be only one testStdOut and one testStdErr message per test.
An alternative but a less reliable approach is to use the captureStandardOutput attribute of the testStarted message.

Test result:

##teamcity[testStarted name='MyTest.test1']

##teamcity[testFailed name='MyTest.test1' message='failure message' details='message and stack trace']

##teamcity[testFinished name='MyTest.test1']

##teamcity[testStarted name='MyTest.test2']

##teamcity[testFailed type='comparisonFailure' name='MyTest.test2' message='failure message' details='message and stack trace' expected='expected value' actual='actual value']

##teamcity[testFinished name='MyTest.test2']

Indicates that the "testname" test failed. Only one testFailed message can appear for a given test name.
message contains the textual representation of the error.
details contains detailed information on the test failure, typically a message and an exception stacktrace.
actual and expected attributes can only be used together with type='comparisonFailure to report comparison failure. The values will be used when opening the test in the IDE.

Here is a longer example of test reporting with service messages:

##teamcity[testSuiteStarted name='suiteName']

##teamcity[testSuiteStarted name='nestedSuiteName']

##teamcity[testStarted name='package_or_namespace.ClassName.TestName']

##teamcity[testFailed name='package_or_namespace.ClassName.TestName' message='The number should be 20000' details='junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: expected:<20000> but was:<10000>|n|r    at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:47)|n|r    at junit.framework.Assert.failNotEquals(Assert.java:280)|n|r...']

##teamcity[testFinished name='package_or_namespace.ClassName.TestName']

##teamcity[testSuiteFinished name='nestedSuiteName']

##teamcity[testSuiteFinished name='suiteName']

Interpreting test names

The Tests tab of the Build Results page allows grouping by suites, packages/namespaces, classes, and tests. Usually the attribute values are provides as they are reported by your test framework and TeamCity is able to interpret which part of the reported names is the test name, class, package as follows:

TeamCity takes the suite name from the corresponding suite message
if the reported test name starts with the suite name, it is truncated
the part of the test name after the last dot is treated as a test name
the part of the test name before the last dot is treated as a class name
the rest of the test name is treated as a package/namespace name

Load testing web sockets with Node.js - Fine tuning TCP/IP on Windows

2016-02-16T16:47:00.000-05:00

Load testing WebSockets with Node.js

I was doing a load testing for a socket.io server. After creating a small client in Node.js using socket.io-client I faced with a limit of about 16K connections trying to run it on Windows 7.

It turned out that by default, dynamic ports are allocated between ports 49152 and 65535 (for a total of 16384 ephemeral ports). Using netsh allows to set both the starting port and port range.

netsh int ipv4 set dynamicportrange protocol=tcp start=1025 num=64511

After running the command I was able to run a Node.js cluster of 8 processes each establishing 5000 connections. That makes 40K connections in total.

I also found a good article about stress testing node.js application

Inverting direction of mouse scroll wheel in Windows 7

2015-05-25T21:47:00.001-04:00

There is a registry setting named FlipFlopWheel that does this! HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HID\VID_???\VID_???\Device Parameters. There might be multiple mouse entries. The default value for FlipFlopWheel should already ready 0. Change into 1 to invert scrolling. Reboot or possibly replug in mouse for changes to take effect.

To get the VID_??? number you have two options:

Go to the mouse control panel, click the Hardware tab, then click Properties.

Now in the HID-compliant mouse Properties window click the Details tab and select the Device Instance Path property. The registry path is in there. You only have to unplug and plug back in my mouse for this to take effect.

TFS switch working copy to another branch

2014-05-14T09:50:00.001-04:00

Problem

I assume that you already have a working copy of $/branch1.

Let's say it's checked out to local folder c:\inetpub.

And you want to remap this working copy to $/branch2 without re-downloading everything again.

Solution

First you'll need to unmap existing branch.
Map working copy folder to new branch.
Apply remap recursively.

Run the following commands from command line:

tf workfold /unmap $/branch1

tf workfold /map $/branch2 c:\inetpub

tf get c:\inetpub /remap /version:T /recursive

You'll probably want to unshelve a shelveset from another TFS branch afterwards.

NEWSEQUENTIALID() (Transact-SQL)

2014-02-19T15:10:00.002-05:00

Creates a GUID that is greater than any GUID previously generated by this function on a specified computer since Windows was started. After restarting Windows, the GUID can start again from a lower range, but is still globally unique. When a GUID column is used as a row identifier, using NEWSEQUENTIALID can be faster than using the NEWID function. This is because the NEWID function causes random activity and uses fewer cached data pages. Using NEWSEQUENTIALID also helps to completely fill the data and index pages.

Important
If privacy is a concern, do not use this function. It is possible to guess the value of the next generated GUID and, therefore, access data associated with that GUID.

How to change default code editor for shelveset details in TFS

2014-02-18T17:40:00.000-05:00

You need to change the following key in windows registry:
1. open REGEDIT
2. Find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\edit\command
3. Change the path to the editor (%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe in my case)

How to unshelve changeset from one branch to another in TFS

2014-02-18T17:34:00.003-05:00

You can do it using TFS Power Tools.

Here is the command:

tfpt unshelve "My Shelveset;DOMAIN\username" /migrate /source:$/project/branch /target:$/project/branch2

TFS Power Tools SCORCH

2014-02-18T17:28:00.001-05:00

TFPT SCORCH - Ensure source control and the local disk are identical

Your local disk will be scanned for:
(1) items that are not in source control
(2) items which are different on disk from the workspace version
(3) items which are in the workspace but are missing on disk

Items not in source control will be deleted from disk, just as with the
tfpt treeclean command. Items determined to be different on disk from the
workspace version will be redownloaded from the server. Items missing on
disk will also be redownloaded. Items with pending changes are exempted.

By default, items deleted from your local disk (#3 above) will not be
scanned for, and local items are determined to be identical/different from
the workspace version *solely by examining the read-only bit on the file*.

To redownload items deleted from your local disk (#3 above), supply the
/deletes option. To detect items which are different from the workspace
version but still have their read-only bit set (+R), supply the /diff option.
When using either or both of these options, tfpt scorch runs more slowly.

Usage: tfpt scorch [/exclude:filespec1,filespec2,...] [filespec...]
[/recursive] [/batchsize:num] [/noprompt [/preview]]
[/deletes] [/diff]

/noprompt Do not show the list of items to be deleted and
redownloaded in a dialog box for confirmation
/exclude:filespec[,..] Files and directories matching a filespec in this list
are excluded from processing
/preview Do not make changes; only list the potential actions
/recursive Switch from one level of recursion to full recursion
/deletes Detect and replace items missing from the local disk
/diff Use MD5 hashes to compare items with source control
/batchsize:num Set the batch size for server calls (default 500)
filespec... Only files and directories matching these filespecs
are processed (inclusion list)

ImageMagick

2014-01-29T16:58:00.000-05:00

ImageMagick^® is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can read and write images in a variety of formats (over 100) includingDPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to resize, flip, mirror, rotate, distort, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.

The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite language. Choose from these interfaces: G2F (Ada), MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C),ChMagick (Ch), ImageMagickObject (COM+), Magick++ (C++), JMagick(Java), L-Magick (Lisp), Lua, NMagick (Neko/haXe), Magick.NET (.NET),PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP),IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick(Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically and automagically.

ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you may use, copy, modify, and distribute in both open and proprietary applications. It is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license, approved by the OSI and recommended for use by the OSSCC.
