Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment

Overview of this book

The challenge faced by many teams while implementing Continuous Deployment is that it requires the use of many tools and processes that all work together. Learning and implementing all these tools (correctly) takes a lot of time and effort, leading people to wonder whether it's really worth it. This book sets up a project to show you the different steps, processes, and tools in Continuous Deployment and the actual problems they solve. We start by introducing Continuous Integration (CI), deployment, and delivery as well as providing an overview of the tools used in CI. You'll then create a web app and see how Git can be used in a CI environment. Moving on, you'll explore unit testing using Jasmine and browser testing using Karma and Selenium for your app. You'll also find out how to automate tasks using Gulp and Jenkins. Next, you'll get acquainted with database integration for different platforms, such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL. Finally, you'll set up different Jenkins jobs to integrate with Node.js and C# projects, and Jenkins pipelines to make branching easier. By the end of the book, you'll have implemented Continuous Delivery and deployment from scratch.

Fixing the login

Next, we are going to fix the login. After that, our website is pretty much complete again and we can get to testing. First things first, our login method makes use of sessions. Getting session state in .NET Core is pretty well documented at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/app-state. To enable sessions in .NET Core, we must install a package.

Again, you may need to disable the BundlerMinifier tool first and you may need to restart VS Code to get it to recognize the added tool in the intellisense:

[Install using the terminal]
dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Session

[Add to csproj manually]
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Session" Version="2.0.0" />

[In any case]
dotnet restore

To get the session working, we need to add some initialization in Startup.cs. The ConfigureServices method needs to...
