People use Out-Null despite much faster alternatives:
$null = Do-Stuff
[void] = Do-Stuff
Do-Stuff > $null
This change makes Out-Null work in roughly the same say as the above.
The optimization is to detect that we're calling the built-in Out-Null
cmdlet when invoking a pipeline from script (the change won't have any
effect in the PowerShell api). If we detect Out-Null, we rewrite the
pipe to look similar to `Do-Stuff > $null`.
* Wire up proper ConsoleHostRawUserInterface.LengthInBufferCells for Unix
Ref https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/2502
This allows for Unix console host to properly calculate display width for
strings containing escape sequences (e.g. ANSI color), rather than
falling back to naive string.Length.
* Add basic tests for host LengthInBufferCells calculation
* Added -Top/-Bottom params to Sort-Object for Top/Bottom N sorts; added many Pester tests
* updated changelog
* updated CHANGELOG.md
* replaced Get-Service with Get-Alias in Pester tests
* improved performance for -unique -top/-bottom, changed according to PR feedback
* added newlines to end of two files
* Removed whitespace changes
* Missed 2 whitespace changes to undo in last commit
* Updated to try to resolve merge issue
* change heapify return type, cleaned up test code
* unique top/bottom N sorts are now 2-3 times faster
* code cleanup (removed unused vars, simplified logic)
* Enable WebRequestPSCmdlet to not validate HTTPS certificates
Added switch parameter IgnoreCertificateCheck to WebRequestPSCmdlet to enable Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod to not validate the HTTPS certificate of the server if required.
* Changed IgnoreCertificateCheck parameter name to NoCertificateCheck
Changed the switch parameter IgnoreCertificateCheck to NoCertificateCheck for WebRequestPSCmdlet to enable Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod.
* Changed NoCertificateCheck parameter name to SkipCertificateCheck
Changed the switch parameter NoCertificateCheck to SkipCertificateCheck for WebRequestPSCmdlet to enable Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod.
* Added test for SkipCertificateCheck parameter
Validation of SkipCertificateCheck parameter in Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod. First validating, that exception is thrown for HTTPS URI with expired certificate. Then validating, that no exception is thrown if SkipCertificateCheck parameter is used. HEAD method must be used for Invoke-RestMethod to not return any body. Invoke-RestMethod can't parse the HTML returned when using GET method.
* Updated test for SkipCertificateCheck parameter to use ExecuteWebCommand function
There was a NullReferenceException after turning on constrained language mode
if creating a binding on a thread with no runspace.
The fix is to assume if there is no runspace that we are not in constrained language
mode, and also generate a binding restriction that assumes the same.
Resolving #2570.
Ignore drive paths in the check. If the input is a drive path,
then "\" is passed as the path to GetDriveQualifiedPath with drive info.
Since, the path here starts with "\", treatAsRelative is set to false
which prevents further formatting of this path.
The check is only valid for PSDrives with root path equals to UNC paths or the paths
in unix.
There are mainly 2 changes:
1. When '-ExcludeProperty' is specified but '-Property' is not, use "*" as the default value for '-Property'.
2. Allow 'Select-Object -Property noexist-name' to return a PSObject with property noexist-name, unless noexist-name itself contains wildcards.
* Fixes#2534 by replacing expensive WMI query with Win32 API calls
* fix break on unix build
* added tests for #2535
* although test passed, fixing exception that shows up
* fixed Describe text
* addressing code review feedback
* addressing review feedback to comment on why sleep is needed
added check that test processes are created before we try to kill them
* fixed test to timeout and pending fix for #2561
Resolving #2206
Set-Content fails to create a file for PSDrive path, if the path root
begins with defaultPathSeperatorString (ex: UNC path and paths in Single
rooted filesystems like Unix)
* Add support <Suppress> in Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable
1. Add support <Suppress>
2. Refacrtoring BuildStructuredQueryFromHashTable() to use StringBuilder
3. Add tests
* Changelog
In PS Core on windows, we try to locate the default web browser and use it for online help. If we cannot find the default web browser (in NanoServer/IoT), we error out.
* Fix host remote test InvokeOnRunspace to work with AppVeyor
* Updated to use new local account for remoting tests.
* Set the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy as needed.
* Adding verbose messages for debugging.
* Storing creds using Export-CliXml
* Added CITravis skip for Windows only remoting test
* Moving tests back to 'Feature' scope
* Added AppVeyor environment variable check to prevent account creation on non-appveyor configurations
* Removed It block in BeforeAll block
* Moving tests back to 'Feature'
Fix Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable to work with named event data field
Now FilterHashtable parameter in Get-WinEvent for named data field:
1. generates a valid query, ex. @{Logname="System";Param="a"}
2. generates a valid query for multiple values, ex.
@{Logname="System";Param="a","b"}
Also removed double cast in the original code and added more tests to cover the fixed scenarios.
