installing dotnet core

Powershell

# install dotnet core sdk
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Invoke-WebRequest -useb 'https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.ps1' -OutFile dotnet-install.ps1
.\dotnet-install.ps1 -Channel LTS -InstallDir 'C:\Program Files\dotnet'

To do the same but from a nightly (master) use --Channel master.

.\dotnet-install.ps1 -Channel master -InstallDir 'C:\Program Files\dotnet'

Installing the runtime only

.\dotnet-install.ps1 -Version 3.0.0-preview9-19410-12 -Runtime dotnet -InstallDir 'C:\Program Files\dotnet'

More info on dotnet-install.ps1.

Bash

curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | bash /dev/stdin --channel LTS # install the latest LTS
curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | bash /dev/stdin --version 6.0.418 # install a specific version

Update PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet

May also need DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/.dotnet:

blocking urls in selenium

Sometimes we want to block specific URLs from loading, for example Google Analytics so we don’t artificially inflate our statistics.

readonly string[] _blockUrls = new [] {
    "www.google-analytics.com"
};

public ChromeDriver GetDriver() 
{
    var options = new ChromeOptions();
    var rules = string.Join(',', _blockUrls.Select(r => $"MAP {r} 127.0.0.1"));
    options.AddArgument($"--host-resolver-rules={rules}");
    return new ChromeDriver(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location), options);
}
