In the past, within my team at Innoveo, we had several discussions about the best way to unit test async WPF ICommand. We value quality, so testing is essential to us. We decided to make the methods called by the command internal so that our tests could call those.

What is the problem with unit testing an Async WPF ICommand? The problem is that the command is an async void method! So, you have no way to await the end of the execution of your command. So, your test might assert on things that are still executing.

Early in my journey in developing software, I used to start a project by setting first a way to build my software automatically each time I did a set of changes. Long, very long ago, I used scripts scheduled to run. When JetBrains shipped TeamCity I started to use it extensively for my projects, here is my first post about "Set Up a Build Computer using VisualSVN, Team City, MsTest, NUnit" from March 21, 2008, but used it since version 1.0. Later on, I also used Azure Pipelines to build Git Diff Margin and also GitHub Actions, for example, to build and deploy those pages.

In the previous post "gRPC and C# 8 Async stream", we looked at how gRPC server stream and C# 8 Async stream work great together. In this post, we are looking at the way we can, from the client, stop the server to stream results back.

gRPC and its idea to describe an API in a standardized file, which can generate both client and server code to interact in different languages is a compelling idea. In this post, I would like to have a quick look at the experience you would have with gRPC streaming capability and the new C# 8 async streams, which sounds like a perfect match.
