as an example, see that code.
test-PesterPipelineIssue /Users/me/testingDir/testPester.txt | Should beNullOrEmptyif you change that line to "should not beNullOrEmpty"` you'll see the behavior change, which i really don't understand.
[System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable() and mock that. Another way might be to make a stub class and load with Add-Type, but not sure it works in this case since the type is already loaded.
Hey guys I am trying to use Pester (4.8.1) for our azure devops pipeline CI build. I have a "publish test" task and
this is what I am doing right nowInvoke-Pester -Script $testFilePath -OutputFile $outputFilePath -OutputFormat 'NUnitXML' -CodeCoverage $psFiles -CodeCoverageOutputFile $codeCoverageOutputFIlePath -EnableExit
My questions is: Is there a way I can put the result in a variable using passthru and and still save all the outputs in the specified files? I want the task to fail if any tests fail but I also have following tasks that shows test result and I want to see which tests failed. With -EnableExit fail it fails the testing task but it skips publishing test result task too
Invoke-Pester -Script @{Path = 'C:\Turing\Test\Frida-launcher.ps1'; Parameters = @{frida_process_id = '807028544'; frida_user = 'heber.solis@softtek.com'; frida_psw = 'password'}} -OutputFile "frida-results.xml" -OutputFormat "NUnitXML" but I don't know how to do it for every test case in the suite :(. Thanks for any help :)
i found that trying to use parenthesis or square brackets causes it to stop matching the names of the steps in the features to the names of the actual steps
I tried escaping these with backslash and and the backtick but still can't get it to work
I have a function which uses some Azure Cli commands, for example:
$appRegistration = az ad app create `
--display-name $name `
--reply-urls $replyUrls `
--oauth2-allow-implicit-flow true `
--available-to-other-tenants false `
-o json |
ConvertFrom-JsonHow can I mock az ad app create and assert the parameters with Assert-MockCalled? I don't find anything about that
Mocking an executable is not possible. At least not to my knowledge.
In this scenario I create a 'wrapper' function that calls the executable. This 'wrapper' function can be mocked.
function Invoke-AzureCli {
switch ($isWindows) {
$True {
$AssertPath = Test-Path -Path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\wbin\az.cmd'
}
$False {
switch ($IsLinux) {
$true {
$AssertPath = Test-Path -Path '/usr/bin/az'
}
Default { throw "Unsuported operating system detected '$PSVersionTable.OS'" }
}
}
}
if ($AssertPath -eq $False) {
throw "Azure CLI not found!`nThis function requires Azure CLI to be available on this system.`nhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli"
}
az $args
if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) {
throw 'Execution failed'
}
}
(This is only like my second time using Gitter, and first time trying to Pester 5 in ernest)
The pester.dev documenation isn't clear to me what exactly $PesterPreference is compared to a PesterConfiguration, and why I would want to use one method over the other, or why either are even necessary when I just want to run a test and see the actual output?

-CodeCoverage (well it does but it turns it into the string "System.Collections.HashTable" and PesterConfiguration.CodeCoverage only has Paths and enforces that to be a string array. Is this something which is being worked on?
[Error - 16:32:42] Microsoft.PowerShell.EditorServices.Services.PowerShellContextService: Execution of the following command(s) completed with errors:

Given my powershell code (not in a function, as the last few parts are the script running, but i want to check some stuff for my script, using pester) My powershell code WinVersion.ps1
$WindowsVersion = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Operatingsystem | select -expand Caption
My Pester script:
BeforeAll {
. $PSCommandPath.Replace('.Tests.ps1', '.ps1')
}
Describe "Test Server 2012" {
It "Given Server 2012, return correct data" {
Mock -CommandName Get-CimInstance -ParameterFilter {$ClassName -eq "Win32_Operatingsystem"} -MockWith {
Write-Host "CIM"
return [Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstanc]@{
Caption = "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter"
}
}
write-host $WindowsVersion
}
}
My Write-host (in my pester script) should return Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter but it returns my own windows version. It thus ignores my mock.
I also tried the mock without the ParameterFilter, but that also didn't work.
This is the result that Pester gives me:
Starting discovery in 1 files.
Discovery found 2 tests in 82ms.
Running tests.
[-] Test Server 2012.Given Server 2012, return correct data 46ms (45ms|1ms)
Expected strings to be the same, but they were different.
Expected length: 40
Actual length: 31
Strings differ at index 18.
Expected: 'Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter'
But was: 'Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise'
------------------^
at $WindowsVersion | Should -Be "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter"
Any clue why?
Hello, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Here’s a script I want to test using Pester (e.g. run3.ps1):
using namespace System.Net
param($Subscription)
$ok = $true
$errorMsg = ""
$status = "In Progress"
Write-Host "Function: myFunction. Applying tags.."
Write-Host $Subscription
$CreationState = $Subscription.CreationState | ConvertFrom-Json
if ($CreationState.Tags -eq "Complete") {
Write-Host "Tags are already applied."
return @{
OK = $ok
Status = $status
SubscriptionInfo = $Subscription
}
}And here’s my Pester unit test (e.g. run3.Tests.ps1):
BeforeAll {
. $PSScriptRoot/run3.ps1
}
Describe 'run-orig.ps1' {
It 'Tags are applied' {
$tags = [pscustomobject]@{
Tags = "Complete"
}
$tagsJson = $tags | ConvertTo-Json
$value = [pscustomobject]@{
Status = 'Active'
}
$value | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name CreationState -Value $tagsJson
$res = . $PSScriptRoot/run3.ps1 -Subscription $value
$res | Should -BeOfType [System.Collections.Hashtable]
}
}When I execute my pester tests, this is the error message I receive. Error is on ConvertFrom-Json on line #10 and error message is Cannot bind argument to parameter 'InputObject' because it is null.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this. Thank you!
