Problem:
My
Pester testing if my code throws is failing even though the code is throwing
the exception.
Solution:
Make
sure the block of code is surrounded with {}.
Explanation:
I
originally wrote the test like this:
Describe "Set-WorkingDirectory" {
Context "with invalid dir" {
It "throws" {
Set-WorkingDirectory -dir "hello world" | Should Throw
}
}
}
The
test failed showing the message of the exception thrown but not passing.
Simply
wrapping the code before the pipe with {} yielded the desired result.
Describe "Set-WorkingDirectory" {
Context "with invalid dir" {
It "throws" {
{ Set-WorkingDirectory -dir "hello world" } | Should Throw
}
}
}
