Can you print out (echo?) your queries and include them in the post, so that it is clear what is being executed? This should help with identifying the issue.
Security tip: Try using [parameterized queries](https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.prepare.php) to avoid SQL Injection. (more) |

Not sure if I understood entirely your question, but it seems to boil down to a simple set of equations with two variables:
The function is f(x) = a*x + b
f(-1) = 0 => -a + b = 0
f(1) = 319 => a + b = 319
=> b = 319 / 2, a = 319 / 2

What are the cons of directly mocking Entity Framework DbSets instead of working with an in-memory database when unit testing the application? I have recently contributed to a Clean Code project and had a discussion about how to implement unit tests. The project author argues for using an in-memory database (which easily replaces the real one) instead of mocking the DbSets and now I am doubting my own approach. The in-memory database... (more) |

I think in order to fully understand you should provide more details. Is this task a custom task? (e.g. removes an existing file and downloads a newer version).

Are any downsides of hiding the actual Entity Framework Core DbSets and exposing only some generic methods?
