The Workflow
8 steps · click a step number to mark it done
Open Github Copliot and have it ready before you start
Open the Coffee Tracker solution in Visual Studio 2022 and navigate to the EditCoffee.xaml (or .cshtml) file where the coffee details are displayed.
Click the GitHub Copilot button in the toolbar to open the Copilot Chat pane.
In the Copilot Chat, type: "Create a new edit thread to add a Delete button that removes the current coffee record from the SQLite database and refreshes the list view" and press Enter.
Review the suggested code block that adds a Button element to the UI and inserts a method called DeleteCoffeeAsync with proper async/await handling.
Click Accept to insert the suggested UI markup and method implementation into the file.
If Copilot asks for additional context (e.g., the DbContext name), provide it by typing the name (e.g., "CoffeeDbContext") and let Copilot finish the method.
Run the project (F5), navigate to a coffee item, click the new Delete button, and verify that the entry is removed from the database and the list updates.
Open the Copilot Chat again and ask: "Generate a unit test for DeleteCoffeeAsync that confirms the coffee record is removed". Accept the generated test and add it to your test project.
