# PowerShell-Tests

*NOTE* This repo has been superceded by [PowerShell/PowerShell](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/tree/master/test) and will be deleted by Sept 1st, 2017

This project represents a selection of tests that the PowerShell team

uses when testing PowerShell. More than 12 years of active 

development on PowerShell, we have created many different script based

test frameworks. Early in 2015 we started the migration process of our

internally created script based framework tests to the [Pester 

framework](https://github.com/pester/Pester) and this project represents 

the early fruits of that labor. Our plan is to continue to migrate our

current tests and release them in this Project, with the aim of having all 

of our tests available in the OSS community using OSS test frameworks.

We believe that by releasing these tests, our community can better understand

how we test, use these as models to better understand PowerShell, and

participate with us as we release future versions.

Some of the tests have either been _Skipped_ or marked as _Pending_, we 

expect that these tests will be activated as product changes are made available

in future releases.

# Feedback

This project will grow over time, but we are currently not able to take

pull requests, but we _do_ want your input. If you find issues or other

misbehavior, please create an issue and we will review them to see how we can

address it.

# Invoking the tests

You can either clone the project, or download a ZIP. Once the tests have 

been placed on your system, you can invoke them as you invoke any other

Pester test:

```

   PS> Invoke-Pester

```

Because a number of our tests create local sessions, it is suggested (for

now) that you run the tests in an elevated PowerShell session as non-admins,

by default, will not have the appropriate permissions.
