Support for Pester 5
We’re working in making the pipeline and tools (such as DscResource.Test)
to work with Pester 4 AND 5.
If you want to convert one repo, give us a heads up and we can show you how to get started. We’d appreciate feedback and bug reports if any!
Showing Sampler in action
As a fair bit of work has happened on the Sampler module, let’s talk about it.
Today, Gael will present how the DSC Community templates and build pipeline work,
and how you can use it for your personal or public project.
We’ll show how to use it for DSC Resources, and explain some of its feature and
capabilities.
We’ll see:
How to contribute to an existing Module.
How to create a New module for the DSC Community following the standards.
How to Add elements to an existing Sampler project.
How to update files in your repository when we ask you to.
How to re-use or build nested Modules in your Module.
The talk will go very quickly through the basics to advanced feature so that
you know what’s there.
A basic to intermediate understanding of how PowerShell Module works is recommended (exported functions, dot sourcing, Required Modules, scope).
