When I continue debugging I hit this error. If I set a breakpoint at global variable declaration at the top of the script (after the parameter block) I can see that my parameters have values. I expect PowerShell to take in my parameter and run the script.

It will also set the exit code of the process to the number of failed tests, which is problematic as any non-zero exit code will.

To run a pester tests we will create a PowerShell launcher script which will run the tests (invoke-pester) and test definition files (*.tests.ps1) including all the tests.

This has some nice color coding and is generally easy to read but soon falls short when invoking hundreds or thousands of tests. There are 3 types of tests we can run depending on connectivity requirements. Running Invoke-Pester to execute these tests comes back with an output that looks like this: Invoke-Pester -Path C:\1 Click on image for larger view.

I will describe how to use it for running infrastructure and configuration tests.

Pester PowerShell module is a test framework (home page and GitHub repository) you can use for writing tests in TDD (test-driven development) environment. All scripts are available in DBAinTheCloud, Github repository. Now I will describe how to add and run tests as part of the deployment pipeline with use of Pester module. In my previous post, I have described how to create an Azure DevOps pipeline to build and destroy the SQL server.
