Comment Post #287255 I have edited your question to include the error message (which should be added in the question, not an answer). Can you provide more details such as the application type, relevant package versions, etc.? Without it, it is hard to receive an answer and the question will be closed.

Comment Post #287152 Never worked with Lua, but [this page](https://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?lua=os.rename) suggests that the function returns two values: `ok, message = os.rename (oldname, newname)`. Does it work to fetch a message in this case and thus receive (hopefully) an error?

Comment Post #286910 @#54029 That's a good suggestion and this is currently being [discussed on meta](https://software.codidact.com/posts/287107). You might refine your comment and post it as an answer there.

Comment Post #287010 Do you receive any of those authentication errors when "it works" (Angular app renders something)? Anyway, this seems more of a networking issue rather than a software development one. [Power users Codidact](https://powerusers.codidact.com/) deals with such questions.

Comment Post #287009 http://acuriostudi.apps.cloud.local/api-hub/api-hub/designs is not solved for me. Also, this is an HTTP URL and your error suggests that an HTTPS resource (port 443 instead of 80) is used.

Comment Post #286884 When do you receive the error? Is it a runtime error or a build error? I am wondering if the issue is not related to [the one described here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49820069/how-to-change-uwp-app-folder-name-or-path).

Comment Post #286520 @#8135n OK. This makes sense. I haven't worked with WPF / MVVM pattern for quite some time, so the following might not apply. Normally, the UI (the grid in this case) should not directly work with database models as what you store is typically different from what you display and also due to a sep...

Comment Post #286520 What does `_context.TagType` contain when you are trying to save in `SaveAllTagTypes`?

Comment Post #286306 I closed the question because it is not clear what it is being asked. The title suggests a way to remove the pseudo elements, but a previous comment actually mentions removing regular text inside a DOM element.

Comment Post #286306 I think it makes sense to understand how the pseudo-elements are actually creating the trouble in your case and why you want them removed. I am not very knowledgeable in CSS, but I guess that such brute-force approaches might seriously mess the layout (i.e. the pseudo-elements are there for a reason)...

Comment Post #286210 Just a thought. I think imask complains because it is not the only managing input's value (what it displays), since NgbDatePicker is also trying to change it following date selection. Why not use [NgbDatePicker's](https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/components/datepicker/overview) formatting options ins...

Comment Post #286219 Actually, it is just something I have noticed and that needs to be taken into account when looking for a solution. It makes things more complicated when compared to all nodes being in DOM, but hidden.

Comment Post #286216 Can you please also provide the HTML / the way it is built dynamically? Currently, the relationship between nodes and their children is not clear and it is needed to be able to go through the descendants and uncollapse through clicking.

Comment Post #286017 How about using [the builder pattern](https://howtodoinjava.com/design-patterns/creational/builder-pattern-in-java/). You create a builder class (`FooBuilder`) for Foo.

Comment Post #285843 @#53398 Yes, you are right. TransactionScopes should be avoided.
