FAQ

If the answer to your question is not listed here, consult your on-site trainer.

How can I clear the orders list?

The simplest method is to delete all databases, which will be automatically created by LiteDb.

The databases are individual files that are located in a .db folder under the solution folder. The entire folder can be deleted.

How can I clear all messages?

The exercises use the LearningTransport and LearningPersistance. Delete the entire .learningtransport under the solution folder.

How can I see what's inside each database?

You can download LiteDb Studio and open each database individually. The database files are stored in a .db folder in the root of each exercise its solution folder.

NOTE: If you open a database, open it as 'shared' as otherwise LiteDb Studio will lock the database and your exercises won't work anymore.

How can I test if the different HTTP API are working?

Sometimes there are issues in the API. Because of the CompositionGateway it might not be directly clear what the problem is.

• Verify if the different API projects are running in Visual Studio and/or JetBrains Rider
  • Divergent.Sales.API
  • Divergent.Finance.API
  • Divergent.Customers.API
  • Divergent.CompositionGateway
• Verify if the response is correct using Postman be sending HTTP requests to the following uri:
  • http://localhost:20185/api/orders/ for sales
  • http://localhost:20187/api/prices/orders/total?orderIds=1 for finance
  • http://localhost:20186/api/customers/byorders?orderIds=1 for customers
  • http://localhost:4457/orders/ for the Composition Gateway
